Cinnamon Apple Crisp

There's nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon coming out of your oven and a beautiful fall evening. This cinnamon scented apple crisp is a perfect fall dessert, when apples are at their peak. Serve it warm topped with a scoop of low fat vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt and enjoy. I like to use Empire, Gala, or Braeburn apples when baking.

Pumpkin Spice No-Bake Cheesecake

This light and fluffy slice of cheesecake has a hint of fall inspired by my Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese recipe. Quick and simple to make in under 10 minutes. You can further reduce the points by using fat free cream cheese if you wish, but I personally prefer using 1/3 fat cream cheese instead.

Gazpacho

Gazpacho is a chilled soup traditionally from Spain, a perfect way to use up end-of-summer vegetables in your garden.

It is traditionally made with tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers but you can get creative and make variations. For a Mexican Gazpacho you can add avocado, cilantro and jalapeño, for an Italian Gazpacho add fresh basil and Parmigiano Reggianno. Personally... I prefer my soup spicy with jalepeños, cilantro and avocado. How do you like your gazpacho?
