Savvy with Abbie

This apple dessert recipe is from Noom and I made it exactly like the recipe called for (except I added one scoop of ice cream instead of greek yogurt). So delicious and would definitely make again!  Ingredients: 4 medium apples, peeled, cored and quartered 1/4 cup orange juice 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup greek yogurt (optional, or splurge like I did and do a scoop of ice cream) Directions: In a large pot, combine the apples, orange juice, vanilla and cinnamon. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Mash the apples with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Top each with yogurt or ice cream.  You can make this as a snack, dessert, or in-between meals. If you keep track of your calories in Noom, the apples and yogurt are both considered Green, the Orange Juice is a Yellow, and the toppings are considered Orange so it truly is the definition of balance by Noom's terminology. 

I have never in my life heard of or made Chocolate Napoleons but these are very unique and delicious. This recipe is from Noom. It's three layers of baked wonton wrappers, covered in cinnamon and chocolate layers in between. This dessert is topped with strawberries.

Spray a baking sheet and place wonton wrappers on sheet. Spray the top of the wrappers and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake for 10 minutes.  In a bowl, hand mix or use a mixer to combine cream cheese, cocoa powder, honey and vanilla until smooth. Place in a pastry bag (or just use a sandwich bag and clip one of the corners). Place 1 wonton wrapper on a plate, spoon 1 1/2 tbsp of the chocolate mixture onto each wrapper. Top with another wra

Wow, what a week. I am so happy it's Friday, let me tell you. I just spent 5 hours doing errands today and it was way overdue - oil change, recycles, groceries, CVS, the UPS store. I'm exhausted but feel so accomplished today.  Big changes have happened in my life lately including switching to Noom for my recipes and diet. This recipe was from Prevention magazine in the Noom app and it was for brownies. Now, these brownies are not going to taste like regular brownies because they are healthier. I thought they were delicious. Kevin....not so much :) The full recipe from Prevention can be found HERE . We did eliminate the salt because I don't ever add salt to my recipes. Ingredients: 1/2 cup flour (we didn't have cake flour) 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 tsp baking powder 1 egg 1 egg white (you can do two) 3/4 cups monkfruit (not sugar) 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2 tbsp walnuts Directions: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cocoa, and baking
