This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

This sugar-free cream cheese frosting recipe is proof that you can indeed have your cake and eat its frosting too, minus the sugar.

1 1/2 cup light cream cheese
1 1/2 tablespoon margarine, softened
16 packets Equal sugar substitute
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons 1% milk to thin frosting
Combine the cream cheese and margarine in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy and combined.
Add the sugar substitute, vanilla, and milk and beat until well mixed and smooth. Add more milk if needed to get the desired spreading consistency.
Spread on cooled cake or cupcakes. Refrigerate leftovers.
The frosting can be made up to 8 hours in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Beat well before using. You can also tint the frosting as desired with food coloring paste.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

This was great--I thought I had brand name SF frosting in the pantry, but didn't. I had to scramble, based upon what ingredients I had, and this fit the bill. I had to wing it a bit--used 1/3 C Splenda and that was sweet enough.

I finally found a recipe that does not require powdered sugar! I didn't feel like going to the store.

I made this to put on carrot cake. I used real butter instead of margarine and Splenda instead of Equal because that's what I had on hand. After frosting the cake and refrigerating over night it tasted like I had covered my carrot cake in cheesecake! It was delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
