Just before serving add ginger ale and garnish with orange slices and fresh strawberry slices. Makes about 24 punch cups. The Skinny: Use sugar free ginger ale. We have been using that for years and we like it better than regular ginger ale. You can probably also find low fat or reduced sugar juice concentrates.

Pour half-and-half over eggs and bake for 8 - 10 minutes at 400 degrees. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake another 8 - 10 minutes at the same temperature. Cut into squares around eggs and serve. The Skinny: Use low fat turkey bacon. We made this last weekend with the turkey bacon and it was great. Use low fat Half-and-Half and low fat cheeses.
