I have discovered Philadelphia spread goes with everything. I am a healthy eater so i use the Extra light spread which tastes exactly the same :)

Caleys fave pasta recipe;

Wheat pasta(any shape :) )
Mushrooms
Onions
Peppadew Peppers
Chicken
Garlic
Salt and Pepper
Balsamic vinegar
Extra light Philadelphia spread

Fry veg and chicken in Olive oil, add the garlic(as much as you want :) ) then add salt and pepper to taste, Finish off with a splash of Balsamic vinegar
Cook pasta and add veg, chicken and Philadelphia to it
Finished off adding salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and drizzle over some olive oil(the fresher, the better)
Voila! a super healthy pasta meal that tastes like its straight out of a restaurant!

Let the addiction begin....

Hi Caley ~
Here's a light cheesecake recipe made with cream cheese and canned peaches.
I like to use the raspberry flavored canned peaches by DelMonte or S&W. I imagine other types of canned fruit such as apricots or pears would work also. I am thinking of trying this with fresh fruit and fruit juice.
----------------
Breathless Peach Cheesecake
1 envelope unflavored gelatine (like Knox)
1 can (16oz.) lite peaches
1 pkg. (8oz.) lite cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar

In a blender, sprinkle unflavored gelatine over water and let stand two minutes. Drain the peaches and reserve the juice (about 1/2 cup). In small saucepan, bring the juice to a boil. Let cool slightly and then add it to the water and gelatine in the blender. Process at low speed until gelatine is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the peaches, cream cheese and sugar and process at high speed until well blended. Pour into a prepared graham cracker crust (may be pre-baked and cooled or not baked at all or use a cookie crust or regular baked and cooled crust). Chill until firm, at least 3-4 hours. Garnish with lite whipped cream, mint leaves, and/or canned peach slices.
