Blueberry Lemon Pie

Well the hardest thing about this recipe...waiting till next day to eat it! 
Oh and trying to find sugar free lemon pudding.  Thanks Aunt Betty for finding it!

Preheat oven to 380 degrees...yes that is not a typo  - 380!

In a bowl, mix together...

  • 3 cups Nonfat Greek Plain Yogurt
  • 3 eggs (you can use 3 ripe bananas, mashed)
  • 3 Tbs. artificial sweetener
  • 1 small package sugar free lemon pudding

Add...

  • Zest & juice of 1 lemon

Add...

  • 4 oz.  fresh blueberries

Mix well -  Pour mixture into glass pie plate sprayed with non stick spray...bake for 40 minutes until firm in center and brown on edges.  Cool Completely, best over night.


TUPPS TIDBITS:  Really a dessert or breakfast?  You choose!  We added ready whip on top and sprinkled graham crackers.

We are going to say this is a KEEPER recipe because it was edible  but not Delicious or anything!  Nice treat in the spring time, if you have some pudding & fruit around and you want to make it into a pie! Mix and Match and enjoy!

Roasted Chickpeas

Need a Snack?  94% of American snack  one time a day  but we are e consuming healthier, better quality snacks to tide us over between meals and to keep our energy levels high. Garbanzo bean, also known as chickpeas, are mile in flavor and can be seasoned savory or sweet for a crunchy delight.


Ingredients
1 (15oz.) can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
Olive Oil cooking spray
1/4 tsp. salt-free all-purpose seasoning blend

Instructions
1. Preheat over to 400F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil; set aside
2. Spread the beans on a clan kitchen towel and gently pat them very dry; discard any loose skins. Transfer to prepared pan. Roast for 20 minutes, shaking pan occasionally.
3. Lightly spray beans with cooking spray; sprinkle with seasoning blend. Shake to coast evenly.
4. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking pan occasionally. Remove from oven and cool.
5. Transfer roasted beans to a serving bowl. Store leftovers in loosely covered container at room temperature up to 3 days.

Tupps Tidbits:  These things were popping & flying all over the oven. Make sure you are keeping a watchful eye and shaking pan frequently!

All I can say is - Spice them up! Toss with spices right as they come out of the oven. Try using a dash of paprika or your favorite spice mix. Chili or curry...all would all be great here.
But still, even with spices, NOT A KEEPER recipe at our house!
