(In my case, borrow them back from my daughter to whom I gave them when we moved to our trailer).\u00a0 Place a tablespoon of cheese mixture in the bottom of each glass.\u00a0 Add a layer of fruit mixture to each glass.\u00a0 Top with another tablespoon of cheese and keep layering.<\/p>\n<p>It looks pretty and tastes good.\u00a0 The glycemic index is just 46 and there are about 145 calories per serving.\u00a0 You also don\u2019t have to heat up your oven for this dessert &#8212; which is something to consider when the temperatures keep soaring above 100 degrees like they have been this summer here in Oklahoma!<\/p>\n<p>You can also change up the fruit. Blueberries or peaches, for example, make it different, but still low glycemic and tasty.<\/p>\n<p><em>Eating to live and living for Christ,<\/em><br \/>\nSusan Jordan Brown<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woo-hoo!\u00a0 I have a functioning kitchen again.
