1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons curry powder

Bake the potatoes for 1 hour. Remove the potatoes from the oven, but keep the oven on. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise, and let them cool for 10 minutes. Scoop out most of the potato flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh against the potato skin (you can save the potato flesh for another use, like mashed potatoes) . Cut each potato half crosswise into three pieces. Place the olive oil in a small cup. Dip each potato piece into the olive oil and place it on a baking sheet. Repeat this with the remaining potato pieces.

Cheese Puffs
Low Calorie Recipe
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Asiago cheese, or Parmesan, grated, plus extra for sprinkling
1 cup all-purpose white flour
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Two large egg
Four large egg whites
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water

Directions:
Lightly coat two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 425-degrees.

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine water, butter, oil, salt and cayenne; bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Stir with a wooden spoon until it forms a smooth paste. Return the mixture to low heat and cook, stirring, for about three minutes, to dry the paste slightly. Remove from heat and cool for two minutes.

Lightly whisk together eggs and three-fourths of the whites. With a wooden spoon, beat one-fourth of the egg mixture into the flour paste until absorbed. Repeat with three more additions of the egg mixture, until the paste is smoother and glossy. Stir in the cheese.

Using a pastry bag or spoon, drop 1-inch mounds 1-1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly beat the remaining egg white and brush it over each puff. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, one sheet at a time, for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the puffs are firm and well browned. Serve warm. Recipe makes four servings.

got any low fat sweet treat recipes?

We Answered:

These brownies taste so good, it is hard to believe they only have about 2 grams of fat per serving. Most people are pleasantly surprised by how good low fat brownies can taste.

To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 cup flour
1/3-1/2 cup baking cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Then combine the flour, cocoa, and salt and add the flour mixture and chocolate chips to the egg mixture. Stir it just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Pour the batter into a 11x7 baking dish coated with nonstick spray. Bake 30 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack. Enjoy!

Makes 15 bars.

Here are some variations you may want to try:
Leave out the chocolate chips and instead sprinkle crushed candy canes or other crushed candy on top. I used crushed mint candy canes, and it gave the brownies a subtle mint flavor!

Another hint: Cut the bars smaller. Not only do you get more servings, but each brownie has less fat per serving. (If you cut them smaller, don't make the mistake of thinking you can eat twice as many!)
