Let's be honest. I rarely make low-fat or diet recipes. Too often they taste like they belong in the trash and I'm more than happy to deliver them to their home (the waste bin). However, if a recipe is delicious and just happens to be low-fat then color me interested. I think the delicious part sold me. What's more, this recipe couldn't be any easier, I mean, it has 3 ingredients!
The recipe is also something that you can throw together quickly. You know, just in case little Johnny tells you he is supposed to bring snacks to school tomorrow. I may or may not have done this to my Mom. Sorry, Mom!
