By request: Peanut Butter Pie revisited!


Peanut Butter Pie (MMMM)

Outstanding

20 servings (serving size: 1 wedge or more)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8-ounce) block light cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup natural-style, reduced-fat creamy peanut butter (such as Smucker's)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 12-ounce tub frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 9-inch ready-made reduced-fat graham cracker shells
  • 4 teaspoons fat-free chocolate sundae syrup

Preparation

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add the condensed milk, and beat until combined. Stir in the whipped topping. Divide the mixture evenly between shells; chill 8 hours or until set (pies will have a soft, fluffy texture). Cut into wedges, and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

Note: We loved this pie frozen--its texture is more like that of an ice-cream pie.

Cooking and making better choices for KIDS



This is the book in a kids version.

If you saw the special on Oprah, he is really entertaining. This is the guy who has edited the Men's Health magazine for a dozen years. He also has lost over 30lbs and kept it off.

In writing this book, he found out about hidden ingredients in foods also a big thing is the portion sizes. Many foods are 1/2 of a kids portion so you need to make sure you look that the labels.

Better yet just buy this book and it will help you make healthy decisions...

Please comment if you own this book.
