{yummy} quick, diet-friendly desserts

i have a huge sweet tooth. this is no exaggeration. i could literally eat sugar all day, every day. but alas, my commitment to my health and weight watchers prevents me from eating every cupcake between reston and dc. so when i need a sugar boost, i turn to the following yummy treats to satisfy my craving. eat at your own risk.

faux bananas foster

1 banana
cinnamon
fat-free whipped topping (i heart the one at trader joe's)

super simple: quarter the banana, sprinkle with as much cinnamon as you'd like, and layer on the whipped topping. you will not be dissapointed.

faux apple pie

1 apple
1 tbs. of your fave ready-made oatmeal packet (i opt for the cinammon variety)
sprinkle of raisins
sprinkle of the nut of your choice (i prefer walnuts)
1-2 tbs. of water
a bit of fat-free whipped topping

core the apple and place in a small bowl. put the oatmeal where the apple's core was. sprinkle raisins and nuts around the apple, along with the water. microwave for 2-3 minutes (depending on the size of your apple). add the whipped topping and eat up.

faux cannoli

2 heaping spoonfuls of fat-free ricotta cheese
vanilla extract
cinnamon
mini chocolate-chips
1 packet of sugar substitute (i use splenda)

mix all of the above ingredients to taste and enjoy. it's that easy.

who said you can't enjoy a guilty-pleasure without the guilt?!
