Every holiday season, my work sponsors a ‘lean Santa’ program.  This is to help employees keep their weight within a 2 pound increase during the holidays by encouraging healthy eating and regular exercise at this time of year.  Do you know how hard it is to not gain weight over the holidays?

So, sometimes (though not really very often) I think that I should make a healthier version of the Cream Cheese Pie that I wrote about yesterday.  If you, too, are trying to be calorie conscious yet not wanting to sacrifice the taste (at least too much), you might be interested in this light version of the recipe.

Light Cream Cheese Pie

8 ounces cream cheese
8 ounces Cool Whip Lite
1/4 cup sugar
9 inch pie crust

Cream ingredients together and pour into pie shell.  Chill.  Serve with cherry pie, raspberry, blueberry, or apple pie filling — or drizzle chocolate and caramel ice cream topping on top.

This recipe is even easier to make than the original version.  So, let your grandchildren make this all on their own. They would be proud as punch to be the sole chef in making this pie!
