I made this for my husband’s birthday. This makes 33 different lemon desserts since I met him. His favorite flavor is lemon… could you guess?

There’s something about the potential of smelling apples baking with cinnamon and nutmeg that conjures up fond memories of my mother in the kitchen. She taught me as a small girl to make apple crisp so I did it often. This also makes a wonderful little breakfast the next day.

This frosting is light as a feather but it won’t break down like other whipped cream frostings because the cream cheese gives it an extra stability.

This is a must try, a wonderfully light and healthy dessert.

My husband’s favorite flavor is lemon. We have been together 33 years and every year I have made him a different lemon dessert for his birthday. I have had to get pretty creative after all these years!

This makes a super simple dessert that tastes so authentic. This can work for ZReduction or you can add the crust and make tarts or a pie. This is hometown-feelin’ food. This can also be made with raspberries or a combo that can include blueberries too

This is a pretty popular low carb pie crust recipe. I adjusted it to Zolafy it. Be sure to get some of the new sugar substitute. The Swerve people even make a powdered version you can use to make frosting!

I adapted this recipe for Plan Z from one of Bobby Flay’s ideas. I love a good grilled peach in the summer. Even if you have a crowd over for a barbecue you can grill up a bunch of these in a jiffy and everyone will enjoy a healthy dessert.

Think peanut butter cups. The sugar has all but been taken out of these little treats. And that’s the operative word. Little. Neither kids nor adults need big treats. One or two of these can satisfy that craving in anyone. They are divine. Serve one to your kid as a treat after dinner or set out a platter of them at a dinner party. The package of two Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups has 24 grams of carbs. One of these has 4.9 grams of carbs.

Combining the tartness of strawberries with the citrusy tang of oranges, try this creation for a refreshing and super simple dessert.

This frozen smoothie is the probiotic bust you need.

I call this “pie” because it tastes like the middle of a peach pie; just no crust. I call it Southern because the Southerners are known for putting cinnamon and nutmeg in their peach pie recipes.

I have not perfected low carb baking yet but these are pretty good. They have a little denser texture than a light and fluffy cupcake but these are made the old-fashioned way so they don’t have chemical ingredients that processed cupcakes do. They might remind you of a cupcake your grandma made.
