Spring break is finally here and I am going to be spending it on a cruise with 6 of my best friends! But, before I leave I had to cook my third and final recipe of the week. I made an American classic dessert - apple pie. This recreation of the normally fattening dessert is so delicious and even more convenient! They are pie-lets, making portion size much easier to control, and much easier to eat. For this recipe I used Splenda, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, apples, and fat-free butter spray. Also, for my crust, I used large square egg roll wrappers. These are great because they are extremely low in calories and fat and taste just as good as pie crust! This turned out to be my favorite dessert that I have made thus far in my WISE journey! It has only 103 calories in each pie! Compare that to the average apple pie with 250 calories. I recommend this recipe to everyone!
Reflecting on the week, I would say that it has been a successful week of tasting cultures around the world. From the Mexican guacamole, to the Chinese sesame chicken, and ending up right at home with the American apple pie, everything tasted delicious! Also, the research that I have found will help me gain better insight and give me more motivation for making this cookbook the best and most useful it can be.
As for now, I am going to go pack for my cruise! In the next week although it is spring break, I am going to continue thinking of new recipes and of course my exercise and healthy eating will continue as well. I will write more when I return from vacation!
RANDOM FACT: Whenever you can, order a children's meal at a restaurant to help you with portion control!
