That can be decorated with the HWC small ribbon. I was thinking that before I went in to a few Curves sites that I could make up some cookies. I thought it may be fitting to have them also be lowfat since it is about losing weight! It would also be a great way to show off one of the HWC items that I will be trying to promote!

Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance for your ideas!
 
ImhoI personally believe that if you pretend an item is low or non fat, it is!

Of course, that may be why I weigh as much as I do...hmmm...

Maybe I shouldn't be allowed to post after midnight...

Anybody else...
 
Do you have the it's Good For You Cookbook??I would try and choose a recipe from there.

OR even make the Pro. Puffs and fill with SF Pudding?? Maybe??

HTH,

Lisa
 
I don't know of any low-fat cookies, but why not try the berries and cream wonton cups? You could use low-fat yogurt and cool-whip. ( I prefer the Extra creamy style of cool-whip though because it will give the "mousse" a stiffer texture.) The cups are pink if you use pink yogurt. You could use the small stencil to decorate the large rect. platter. Lightly brush karo syrup on platter in middle using the stencil then use pink colored sugar crystals to make the pink ribbon design. Arrange the cups around the ribbon.

Just my thoughts.. good luck!!

Oh, that sounds really cute! I would have never thought to use the syrup to make the ribbon! I do have the It's Good For You Cookbook so I guess I can go digging up some treats.

Nikked-- I'm with you on that! I can justify Cheesecake as being a very essential food! Cheese, grains, and fruit- that is three food groups!!!:D
