Luscious cream pies, mouthwatering cakes, rich puddings, sweet fruit salads, hearty cobblers--nothing finishes a meal like a great dessert. And now JoAnna Lund shows how you can have your cake and eat it, too, without guilt. Hundreds of thousands of loyal readers have discovered the Healthy Exchanges way of eating with JoAnna Lund. The "diet queen of DeWitt, Iowa," has demonstrated how anyone can lose weight and regain health without sacrificing good taste. And nowhere has she been more successful in exchanging forbidden foods for healthy choices than with her wide range of desserts. The proof is in the testimonials: "I am a diabetic who has found new delights in your tasty and great-looking desserts..so good and so easy, too!" --C.L., Indiana "The recipes are so easy and the desserts are incredible.. I've lost more than sixty pounds, and I've never felt so satisfied in my life." --M.F., Missouri Like all her recipes, JoAnna's desserts are easy to prepare, using readily available ingredients. They are all low in calories and fat, yet never scrimp on taste. Every recipe includes a comprehensive nutritional analysis, and this book features JoAnna's hallmark hints, tips, and sound advice for making Healthy Exchanges a way of life, not just another diet.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A cookbook author and motivational speaker on diet and weight loss, Lund offers readers her Healthy Exchanges plan for losing weight. Opening chapters explore her emotional and spiritual approach to effective, long-term weight loss. In her program, Lund divides food groups into Proteins/Meats, Breads/Starches, Vegetables, Fats, Fruits, Skim Milk, Free Foods and Optional Calories. She explains basic cooking terms (e.g., boil, bake, chop); recommends a "pantry" of preferred brand names; and gives tips on grocery shopping, reading product labels and creating menus (e.g., "Fun Times Finger-Lickin' Kids' Night Cookout"). The second section features 200 recipes, geared toward "busy people who want to eat healthily and economically, but who still want tasty food." A firm believer that processed foods "have a place as ingredients in healthy recipes," Lund unabashedly uses canned soups, prepared pie crusts, sugar substitutes and reduced- or fat-free mayonnaise, Cool Whip and cream cheese. Timorous cooks will master such basic preparations as Cheesy Tuna Chowder, Broccoli Party Casserole, Creamed Chicken over Muffins and Banana Peanut Butter Dream Pie. Her supermarket sensibility prevails, offering an accessible and affordable healthy eating plan. (Sept.)

Excellent!,
This review is from: Dessert Every Night! (Hardcover)
I have to say Joanne Lund, has really come up with a great solution to people who want to eat healthy but can't quite let go of thier sweet tooth. This book is packed with delicious recipies for cookies, pies, cakes, brownies and many other choices. Each recipe is an absoule "sweet nothing" pun intended! Low calorie, low fat, and high taste. You your family and friends will never miss what is missing the un healthy fat and calories. Enjoy.

Fast, easy and satisfying.,

This review is from: Dessert Every Night! (Hardcover)
Joanna Lund knows how to turn a box of sugar free jello and pudding into a delectable dessert. Not your ordinary diet treats. The only noticable downfall is the slight aftertaste of sugar substitute.

Dessert Every Night,
By JoAnna Lund (DeWitt, Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dessert Every Night! (Hardcover)
I'm the author of this book and it's a personal favorite of mine. I note that babysis56 writes that we did not respond to her messages. But, we've tried to contact babysis56@aol to see if we could answer her questions, and we've never gotten a response. I try my best to respond to anyone who contacts me in a timely manner. Not only did the Tooth Fairy bless me with a sweet tooth - she gave me a whole mouth full! And I share my favorite "common folk" healthy desserts in this collection. If you love the types of desserts that grandma made for you when you were young - but you need healthier (less fats & sugars) versions - then I think you will love this book!
