Apple Bread Pudding
When you first hear the name, Bread Pudding, may not sound too interesting. However, its a really tasty, rich dessert that's hard to turn down once you’ve tried it. Traditional bread puddings contain egg yolks and so a lot of fat; but this recipe relies on the whites and adds apple for extra flavor.
Ingredients
10 Slices of Bread
½ Cup Butter
¼ Cup Applesauce
1 Cup Zero Calorie Sweetener
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Medium Apple, diced
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Smothered Chicken with Creamed Spinach, Bacon, Mushrooms
I cooked this tonight! It was delightful! I use lots of online recipe sites to keep food from being boring. I do tweak most and add my own touches. I'm fortunate to be able to cook for my father, mother and mother 2 (a woman who has been like a mother to me) every Sunday and Wednesday. I promised them those days!
Ingredients
Chicken:
1 tablespoon butter
Any chicken pieces you like best or have on hand (smile)
salt
lemon pepper seasoning
paprika
Creamed spinach:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
10 oz fresh spinach
4 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup half and half
2/3 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 small onion chopped
Other Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 oz mushrooms, sliced
4 slices bacon, cooked, chopped
4 slices of Pepper Jack cheese (Monterey Jack Cheese with Jalapenos)
Directions
Butter the bottom of the baking dish or spray your favorite oil or butter spray.(I used a 9X13 pan)
Generously season chicken on both sides with salt, lemon pepper seasoning and a small amount of paprika.
Place the chicken into the greased baking dish and bake for 25 minutes at 375 F.
In the mean time, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add spinach and cook for only 1 or 2 minutes, covered, until the spinach is thoroughly heated through and start to wilt. Remove from heat.
Add minced garlic and half and half. Bring to boil. Add shredded mozzarella cheese and keep stirring, on high heat, until mozzarella cheese starts to melt - about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to simmer and keep stirring until you have a nice, smooth creamed spinach - about 30 seconds or 1 more minute.
Season with salt to your taste. Remove from heat.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add sliced mushrooms and cook on high-medium heat for 1-2 minutes until mushroom caramelize. Do not salt mushrooms or it will prevent the caramelization.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Top each chicken breast with the creamed spinach, chopped cooked bacon, cooked mushrooms and broken slices of pepper jack cheese.
Bake in the oven, uncovered for 25 more minutes, until chicken is cooked through, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear.
Notes
I had a Monterey Jack/Cheddar mix and sprinkled it on top of the spinach mixture I also added finely chopped onions as I love onion and garlic in most of my recipes for flavor.

Orange Julius-like Protein Drink
This kind of evolved over many years. It started with a raw egg in orange juice, which I didn't approve of. I replaced the egg with a scoop of soy protein powder, but it was slightly gritty and didn't taste right. Replaced the soy with vanilla flavored whey protein, voila!
Ingredients
1 scoop vanilla flavored whey-based protein powder
Directions
Pour into a glass and drink!
Notes
Crushed ice may be added as well if desired.

Unbelievable Bundt Cake
Bundt cake is a classic Christmas dessert, but it seems that no one's really sure how to make it correctly. The ideal Bundt cake is moist and rich, but not overpowering in sweetness. The richness and moistness in traditional Bundt cakes comes from butter, but this recipe substitutes applesauce instead and uses sugar-free maple syrup as a sweetener.
Ingredients
1 Cup White Pastry Flour
1 Cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
2 Eggs
1 Large Apple, chopped
1/3 Cup Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
15 oz (1 can) Pumpkin OR Sweet Potato Puree
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Ginger
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
Directions
Cook Time: 60 minutes
Total Time: 1 hours, 15 minutes
