A Cool and Easy Low Calorie Dessert
A cool and easy, low calorie dessert was a perfect choice. We are having a heat wave in California and I was looking for a cool dessert, preferably a low calorie one. I made some orange jello and wanted to dress it up a bit. I had some applesauce, so added some to the dish along with the jello. The combination was refreshing and tasty, plus it was easy to make. I used sugar free gelatin and unsweetened applesauce, so it made for a healthy, low calorie dessert. Just, what I’d been looking for.

Caring for My Succulents
Succulent care really is an art. There’s always something new to see and learn. I spent most of the afternoon cleaning and pruning my ever evolving collection. Here are a few of them. The plant on the bottom left, Cyanotis, commonly known as Kittens, or Cats ears, is originally from my parents garden in Fountain Valley. They gave it to me in 1988 when they moved to Seal Beach.
