>Great Idea #1: Frozen Grapes
Thanks to Denise K. this is now one of my kids’ favorite treats. Just put some grapes in a ziploc baggie and freeze them. They come out like little frozen popsicles with alot less sugar. Grown-ups like them too!
Great Suggestion #2: A substitute for ice cream
Lyn recommends this recipe from “The South Beach Diet”
Mocha Ricotta Creme
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. sugar substitute
dash espresso powder
5 chocolate chips
Mix together the ricotta, cocoa powder, vanilla, and sugar substitute in a dessert bowl. Serve with a dusting of espresso powder (if you’ve got it) and the chocolate chips.
