My Favorite Recipe Yet

I've been working on a special recipe for the last 9 months. The last few days have been especially busy but it's finally complete.

The special ingredients are as follows:

• 4 lbs love

Mix these ingredients and let them bake for 9 months and you will have the sweetest miracle.

Sorry if I have not been available this last week. I've been a little busy making a baby! I probably won't be around for the next couple of days until I get adjusted but I promise to read all your comments and get back to you all as soon as I can. Much joy and love to all for this Holiday Season.

Skinny Eggnog Latte

There is something about grabbing a Starbucks Eggnog Latte before venturing out to do my Christmas shopping that puts me in the Holiday spirit. Well now you can make one in the convenience of your own cozy home at a fraction of the price and without all those added calories. This is so easy to make. If you have an espresso machine, make espresso with good strong coffee and steam your eggnog with a little milk to make it frothy and hot. Top with a dash of nutmeg and even some fat free whipped topping if you wish. If you don't have an espresso machine, no worries. Make your coffee a little stronger and heat your eggnog over the stove or in the microwave, then whip it in the blender.

Skinny Eggnog

Eggnog evokes fond childhood Christmas memories for me. I love it with or without the alcohol, hot or cold. This low fat eggnog recipe is rich and creamy. Using vanilla beans is really worth the added expense so don't skimp here. This is easy to make and so much better than store bought eggnog so if you've never made eggnog before, give this a try. You can make this a few days ahead. Use your leftovers for Eggnog French Toast, Eggnog Souffles, or Eggnog Lattes. Yum!

Pasta with Bolognese Sauce

Bolognese sauce is a ground beef ragú made with pancetta, onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes, wine, and cream.

Everyone raves about my Bolognese sauce. I never really thought of it as a light dish and I usually make it when I have a large crowd over for dinner.

I decided to tweak my recipe to make this lighter version by using lean chopped beef, reducing the butter and using half and half instead of heavy cream. Results were just as amazing as always and quite frankly, you would never know the difference. The trick to a good Bolognese sauce is the longer it cooks, the better it tastes so this is a perfect Sunday meal. Let this simmer on low at least an hour and a half or up to 3 hours if you have the time.

Serve it over pasta or even spaghetti squash, enjoy!!

Chocolate Banana Soufflés

Soufflés are light and fluffy and made using mostly egg whites and no flour, which is great if you are on a low carb, or gluten free diet. My daughter makes soufflés all the time, and actually made the ones pictured here. They are not hard to make, so don't be intimidated. They should be eaten right away or they typically fall after 5-10 minutes so if you are serving these to guests, plan to eat them right out of the oven. I love topping mine with a heaping spoon of cool whip.
