The "Light-as-a-feather" Carrot Cake

First of all, let me explain something.
You would expect "Light-as-a-feather" to refer to the texture of the cake, wouldn't you?
You would be wrong, yes. It refers to the calories!
This cake is just so light you may even have three slices for breakfast. I'm not kidding! Three!
Oh, and did I mention it's delicious?



For a cake (12 slices):
220g carrots
140g flour
1 tbsp baking powder
60g fructose
the zest of one lemon
2 large eggs

Calories per slice: 125

Peel and grate the carrots; put them aside.
Whisk the eggs and fructose for a couple minutes, until the eggs turn pale. Whisk in the carrots and the lemon zest too.
In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients, then add them slowly to the eggs mixture. Add a little water if the batter is too dense, then put in the oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes.

A Peachy Breakfast



Can you say "peachy"? Does this word exist?
I swear I don't know!

Anyway, my kitchen is filled with peaches, so I started to use them for... pretty much everything! Yes, breakfast too!

Ingredients:
2 slices whole wheat bread
1 peach
50 g ricotta cheese
Calories: about 270, but it depends on the bread you use of course

well....this ain't hard! just take the bread, arrange pretty peachy flowers on them and let a snow of ricotta fall over them. And put in the oven. Yumm....

Cinnamon-scented Yogurt Mousse

Really quick post before I start packing! I'm off to Paris for a week, yippie!!!
Sorry but I don't have a picture of this! -you'll have to trust my word when I say it's delicious...


Cinnamon-scented Yogurt Mousse

For two servings:
170g low-fat greek yogurt (I use Fage 0%)
an egg white
cinnamon
orange peel (optional)
10 drops of liquid sweetener

Calories per serving: 65

Beat the yogurt until it's creamy, then add the cinnamon, orange and sweetener.
Beat the egg white until fluffy, add it to the yogurt mixture. Mix well, then divide the mixture between two cups, and put in the fridge to rest for at least 3 hours.
That's it! Simple, super low-calorie... try it!
