Here is a dessert that you can do in less than 5 minutes. Not very fattening at all. It can be done 2 ways. Tastes amazing and has that buttery soft flavor when you use pound cake but for those who are health conscious and want a guilt free dessert. It tastes equally as delicious with half the calories and a nice soft spongy feel with angel food cake. 1st step is to choose which cake you want to use. Go head first and indulge - Pound Cake Health conscious and half the calories - Angel food cake In the picture above I used Angel food cake, I've done it with both before and to be honest both of them taste equally as good to me. Try it for y ourself and see which one you prefer. To go even quicker when making this dessert, I usually buy the cake already made. But if you want to make the cake yourself from scratch here is an angel food cake recipe and here is a pound cake recipe . It all depends on how many people you are serving, here is how its done. Ingredients 2...

Similar to the baked in the oven chicken cordon bleu recipe. This spinach and cheese stuffed chicken is absolutely delicious, with minimal work. You can stuff it with pretty much anything you want. I've made it before stuffed with ham and cheese, hotdog, spinach and cheese, garlic butter, flavored cream cheese and the list goes on. To stuff it with anything else, follow the same recipe and just replace the spinach with whatever it is you will substitute. Ingredients 4 Chicken breasts 1/2 bag spinach 8 slices mozzarella cheese 8oz heavy cream a few toothpicks seasonings (lawyers all purpose seasoning, salt, red pepper, parsley flakes) optional: chopped Onion and mushroom for sauce How to make it: Preheat your oven to 400F or 200C Clean your chicken breast click this link to learn how to properly clean  . Once that is done,slice your chicken breast in half, if you are really good with the slicing, attempt to cut it very thinly into 3. This will now allo...

Nothing better than brisket so soft it melts in your mouth... literally. Get the perfectly made Beef Brisket every time, by cooking it just the right way. First thing is to choose the perfect cut of beef. I prefer to use bottom side Rump Roast, though I have gone to the store many times and did not find it. Any type  of cut that I used come out equally as good. If the piece that you use is a bit of a tougher cut, it will just take you a little longer to cook, but it will come out soft and juicy as well. Ingredients you will need: Beef (preferably top or bottom side rump roast) 6 potatoes 1/2 cup tomato sauce seasonings : Rock salt, parsley, crushed red peppers Once you've got your meat, season it. Here I used a little olive oil, parsley, crushed red peppers and rock salt. Rub it in. (With beef, the longer you let the seasoning sit, the better the flavor will be. The best option, if you have time is to season it the night before you cook it.) Once it is well s...

Do you enjoy pasta but always end up feeling bloated and get that guilty conscious for eating all that extra starch? Try spaghetti squash. It looks and feels like actual spaghetti  and takes away that bloated feeling and that guilty conscious. Its a vegetable. Imagine using it in all your favorite pasta dishes such as spaghetti and meatballs, spaghetti carbonara, chicken alfredo etc. The taste and texture is that of your regular pasta. Though it is not so commonly found in your grocery store, Spaghetti squash is found in your local farmers market, international grocery stores and in grocery stores with a bigger produce section. It's worth hunting down and finding. The squash family has many shapes of squash that look the same. When searching, make sure to look at the label to ensure it is spaghetti squash. Its outer appearance is that of  an orange honey dew melon. Hard outer layer with a yellow and rippled appearance. Follow the video that I made above to get yo...

I came across this just the other day when searching the internet for some delicious new recipes. A very creative and unique way to make this yummy looking cheesecake in minutes with no baking required. Just mix and refrigerate. With nutella you can never go wrong. The only thing I would change in this recipe is that I would add double the amount of nutella. For two reasons. 1) just because you can... Nutella is very delicious so you clearly need more in order to have a stronger chocolate taste 2) to darken the color a bit. Here it is a light brown almost dark caramel color. But it will look nicer with a darker richer color being that you are calling it a chocolate cheesecake. Besides that, go ahead and try this. Looks absolutely amazing. I will be trying it myself this coming week God Bless

I went to the restaurant the other day and bought this delicious dessert which is much like an Oreo ice cream sandwich. It was delicious and cost me about $7. But something like this can easily be made at home. Whether you wouldn't be able to afford it at the restaurant or if you simply would like to have it as often as you'd like. It is very simple to make, with only 3 ingredients. 1 pack Oreo cookies ( remove the cream center) 2-3 tbsp melted butter Oreo ice cream Take your Oreo cookies and put them into a food processor or blender and blend well until evenly crumbled, add in your melted butter and continue to blend. The cookie crumbs should slightly stick together when squeezed in the palm of your hands. (If it's still too dry add a little more butter, but be careful of to overdo it.) Take your ice cream out of the freezer and allow it to slightly defrost. In a small round form put in your cookie crumb at the bottom and pack it down, scoop in your ice cream...
