(Pompano Beach, FL November 2009) Wouldn’t we all like to enjoy a taste of sweetness—without the guilt over the holidays?

Heartland Sweeteners offers affordable products with great taste, and health benefits. There’ll be no bitter after taste in your mouths this holiday season as The Balancing Act welcomes back Heartland Sweeteners—airing November 9th on Lifetime Television at 7:30 a.m. (EST/PST)

To help cut those unwanted sugars and calories when cooking over the holidays, The Balancing Act has invited Chef Ozzie. Chef Ozzie is going to spill some holiday cooking secrets, and share some mouth-watering recipes using Ideal™ Granular No Calorie Sweetener!

One of Chef Ozzie’s specialties-- is cooking the low-fat or reduced fat versions of some of his favorite holiday dishes! Let’s start off with his “Noodle Kugel” dish. Chef Ozzie says, “Instead of regular egg noodles, I used whole wheat or low-carb pasta. One easy change you can apply to most recipes, not just this one-- is replacing REGULAR versions with LOWFAT options. Like, instead of regular butter use Lite Butter, use low fat cream cheese instead of regular, replace regular sour cream and cottage cheese with low fat sour cream and low fat cottage cheese, and using Ideal Granular No Calorie-Sweetener instead of sugar”.

From noodles he moves onto his Sweet Potato Mousse, once again cooking in a low-fat or reduced fat version. Chef Ozzie adds, “This dish is usually LOADED with sugar and you want to keep that sweet taste-- so I replace the granular sugar with Ideal Granular No Calorie Sweetener”!

So many holiday dishes to cover, so little time! You’ll need to tune in to catch all of Chef Ozzie’s Heartland Sweetener recipes. I’m sure you don’t want to miss out on how to make Pumpkin Cheesecake, Cranberry Orange Chutney, and Roasted Cinnamon Almonds! All delicious—all made the "Ideal" way-- with Ideal Granular No Calorie Sweetener!
