I love Fall – leaves are scattered across the sidewalk and the air is slightly brisk. Apples are in season and there are so many varieties to choose from. Many of them are begging to be turned into a delicious Apple Crisp. Can you really make a healthy version of Apple Crisp – oh yes…

Chocolate Cherry Brownies
It almost sounds to good to be true but you really can make delicious brownies that are healthy too! I have to admit that I haven’t had a brownie in years – or so that was true until earlier this week. On Tuesday we celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary and I wanted something special for…
Oat & Jam Bars – Jammies

Apple Cranberry Crisp
The secret ingredients in this crisp recipe are cashew butter and applesauce! They work perfectly to replace butter and are neutral in flavor so you wont’ even detect any difference.

Yonanas
Since I gave up dairy I have been on a quest to find a suitable substitute for frozen yogurt which is one of my favorite summer treats. First I tried the frozen food aisle at Whole Foods but after reading the labels of the dairy free frozen concoctions at the supermarket I left empty handed….
