A quest to find "Good to Eats"

So as some of you know Jerry gets paid every 2 weeks. So I shop for the house every 2 months. So I need help please.. I need good dessert recipes that taste good, look good, NOT ALOT OF CALORIES and only have like 4 ingredients that I can whip together quickly. I also need them to make for 2 months of a shelf life. So I challenge anyone who knows one to email me or write it down.. There are alot of good cooks on this blog so I am sure some of you can come up with something..

These are two really easy ones.

1) Buy canned peaches (you can get them in light syrup or sweetened with splenda) and cut up a banana into them. I like when you let the banana sit in the peach juice and get a little soft.

2) Buy canned crushed pineapple(you can also get this in light syrup but you can always drain the juice first too) and mix into fat free or sugar free pudding or fat free coolwhip and put in the fridge. You can put this one in a pie crust too.

3) Take 2 cups cut up rhubarb (you can freeze this while its fresh and it keeps really well) and boil it with 1 cup of water and 3/4 cup splenda until the rhubarb starts to fall apart. Dissolve sugar free strawberry jello in the rhubarb water and add 2 cups cut up strawberries (these feeze really well too and you can also buy them frozen without sugar added). Put mixture in fridge until it starts to set. Put mixture in graham cracker crust (you can get these in fat free and low fat) and let set.

Sounds good Katie. I was going to say fruit salad. I buy fruit every week and almost always throw some of it away. I started cutting it all up into a salad the day I buy it and I eat it every night as my after dinner snack.

One other thing I used to make when I was on WW was chocolate cookies made with 1 box of chocolate cake mix (you can by low fat, reduced fat or splenda versions) and 1 can of pumpkin. Sounds weird I know but you mix the can of pumpkin into the cake mix until it's like thick brownie batter consistency. Drop spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 12 minutes. You'd never know there was pumpkin in them.

Sugar free jello and pudding are good to have as well.
