Something about a Cherry Cheesecake screams Merry Christmas to me! I make this for our holiday dinner every year.

If you are my age you probably recall a magical soup that warded off colds and made you feel warm from your head to your toes. Not sure if it was the delicious soup or the love that also went into that pot. Let's not lose this heritage recipe - teach your children that old fashioned chicken soup heals what ails you. It is super simple and uses just 5 ingredients.

I love lemons! Tart and buttery lemon pudding you can whip up in minutes. 

You can use mussels and shrimp as I have chosen for this version, or create your own favorite, using scallops, clams, crab, or even a whole fish filet or cubes of a firm fish such as swordfish or mahi.

I have not intentionally had any real sugar since my bariatric surgery in 2001. That's a long time. I use sugar free desserts to stop myself from flying off the rails BEFORE it happens.

Ummm, soft and tender and delicious. High protein, very low carb Ricotta Fritters. One of my favorite foods for lunch at my desk.

Super simple and delicious soft food for bariatric post-ops.

Omg... corn? Oh no, not evil corn! Yes, corn... cutting an ear of fresh corn into rounds gives everyone a taste and adds about 3 carbs to your meal. THREE CARBS! It's clean and fresh and flavorful and tastes so good with the pan juices. What a meal... try this one. After all, Corn IS a vegetable. 

We have another chicken dinner winner! Tender chicken bites, juicy zucchini & kapow from the olives and pepperoncini!

This simple, nicely moist, not too sweet, deep dark rich chocolate layer is easy to make and you probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now.
