Saturday "Smart Swap!": Pancake Topping Pointer

Mmmm ... Saturdays mean pancakes at my house! If we sleep in, we're not averse to having them for dinner! But, my favorite pancake-topper was costing me way too many calories and I was forever trying "diet" versions ... but they just didn't measure up to the Eggo syrup I'd loved since I was knee high to a grasshopper!

I have finally found a diet-friendly alternative to my beloved Eggo syrup. At 240 calories per serving (due to 40 -- gasp! -- grams of sugar, no doubt), my childhood fave had to be used very sparingly to top those cakes. A little drizzle and I was done. But pancakes just aren't the same when they're dry, no?

Well, good old Aunt Jemima to the rescue! I recently tried Aunt Jemima Lite syrup and I am happy to say it is just as tasty as my tried-and-true Eggo brand and it has 100 calories per serving. That shaves off 140 calories off my breakfast in a snap! Sweet!
