Drescription

Next time you make cake from a mix, try my easy and delicious recipe. The pears and syrup add sweet flavor and prevent the cake from drying out. And since there's no oil added to the batter, this tender fall-perfect cake is surprisingly low in fat.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) reduced-sugar sliced pears
  • 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
  • 2 large egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Drain pears, reserving the syrup; chop pears. Place pears and syrup in a large bowl; add the cake mix, egg whites and egg. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on high for 4 minutes.
  2. Coat a 10-in. fluted tube pan with cooking spray and dust with flour. Add batter.
  3. Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50-55 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Loaded Cabbage Steaks

Melted cheese, bacon, scallions and a touch of sour cream are perfect toppings to add to a nicely seared cabbage steak in this low-carb twist on a classic loaded baked potato. To make this meal vegetarian, leave out the bacon, or swap it out for veggie bacon or roasted mushrooms. Roast any extra cabbage you may have separately, or store it and save it for another use.

Slow Cooker Spanish Chickpea Soup

This easy soup recipe is inspired by cocido, the hearty stew of assorted meats, chickpeas and vegetables considered a national dish of Spain. Each region, family and restaurant has its own variation, but this slow-cooker soup has enough meat to satisfy the carnivores and enough vegetables to make it healthy. Ask for a 4-ounce slab of Serrano ham or prosciutto at your deli counter instead of buying slices. If you don't have a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker, opt for the stovetop variation instead.
