Today is my birthday. I REALLY want the chocolate cake, you know, the one with the gooey frosting that sticks to the fork and the roof of your mouth? The kind where you want to eat the frosting even more than the cake? I love, love, love cake like that.
But I indulged just a tad too much while I was on vacation recently so, alas, unless DH force-feeds me ;-), I won't be eating any chocolate cake. Instead, I'm having my guilt-free "cake."
This is a recipe a friend got from Weight Watchers and I adapted to suit my own self
1 4 ounce packet sugar free orange Jell-O
1/4 cup boiling water
2 containers Orange Dreme Yoplait Yogurt
8 ounces Cool Whip
1 ready-made graham cracker crust
Dissolve the Jell-O in the boiling water. Add the yogurt, then fold in the Cool Whip. Dump into the graham cracker crust and chill for a few hours. If you want to be really good calorie wise, ignore the graham cracker crust and eat the jell-o/yogurt part. It tastes a whole lot like an orange creamsicle...yummy!
Have a happy one!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! My kids came in and I told them they had to be nice to me because it's my birthday. They said, "It's not your birthday."
ReplyDeleteI said, "Why not?"
"Because there's no cake!"
LOL.

Happy Birthday, Shirley!
