I'm not sick of asparagus! I love it over fresh avocados spread over a piece of toast. I made a healthy spinach and asparagus dip using (obviously!) asparagus... try it out :) 'Tis the Season (Finally!): 6 Great Dinners Featuring Asparagus Flag this comment	4/30/12 1:50 PM
I would love to see you guys write about some good substitutions! I'd be MORE THAN HAPPY to supply a few links for that! For example... 1. Sub a can of seltzer water for all added ingredients in a cake mix (so you can make a cake or cupcakes with just the box mix plus the can of seltzer). Here's an example of low-cal cupcakes made using seltzer water (La Croix).. 2. Sometimes you can sub avocado for anything needing mayo. Just mash up the avocado. Obv changes the flavor but the consistency works. Deviled eggs are amazing when done that way. 3. Sub protein powder for flower in some cookie recipes. Here's an example... Makes a delicious peanut butter chocolate chip protein cookie. 4. Fat Free Greek Yogurt can also be a base for all kinds of dips that are normally mayo, cream, or sour cream based. Here's an example, Low-Calorie Spinach and Asparagus Dip! Excited to see what you come up with! -Carly @ Createlive Got a Question for Reader Request Week? Tell Us What You'd Like Us To Blog About!

Ah, this looks delicious!!!! That said, there is a recipe that is just a bit simpler - low-calorie frozen banana ice cream. Turns out, all you really need is bananas and a blender. Though, I suppose, it is nice to have a bit more customization with the coconut milk version. Has anyone tried adding other fruits to a banana version? -Carly @ Createlive Recipe: 3-Ingredient Healthy Ice Cream Flag this comment	1/12/12 4:40 PM
These are so cute! I love it. I saw a mention of it on facebook in which someone suggested that, when empty, they look a heck of a lot like bird nests. So funny -- and could be a cute treat as Easter approaches. Maybe fill it with jelly beans or cadbury eggs? -Carly @ Createlive Healthy Eating Tips for 2012 Cute Make-Ahead Brunch Idea!

This is an amazing idea. Mayonnaise is so unhealthy, fat and calorie dense, that it should really be eliminated from our diets... but substituting avocado is perfect. While avocado does have some fat, it is healthy fat (and our bodies do need some fat), so it is a great substitution! Well done! May end up sharing this link in a round up of healthy tips for 2012.

This is a great list! I especially love the Peppermint Cream-Filled Butter Cookies... but the frozen peppermint cake is also intriguing (am I craving peppermint?!). Anyways, the photos are all beautiful!
