"Pumpkin Almond Torte only has 7.5 fat grams and is awesome in the fall. The glaze is not needed but does add a citrus kick if you desire."

When I can steal time I love to cook. My favorite way to spend an evening is to enjoy it with Food, Friends, Family, and a good wine. We live in beautiful Southern California and enjoy year round fresh fruits and veggies. My cooking influences are English, Caribbean, & French, with a dash of Southern comfort food. I am always looking for the healthier version of great meals and the nutritional information on this site is fantastic!
