Hi Sheila, Oh, I hear you!  I’m not one to give up on my treats either. But it’s not hard to enjoy semi-healthy desserts and treats in moderation (and maybe indulge in a calorie splurge on a special occasion). And I’ve got a few ways to make those semi-healthy treats even healthier! So you’ll want to focus on fruit-based desserts with not too much butter, like Warm Stuffed Apples and Baked Rhubarb Dessert. You say you’re craving cake? Look to lighter cakes, like Heavenly Angel Food Cake; bypass any frosting, but top a thin slice with just a drizzle of chocolate syrup or flavored yogurt. Chocolate lover? Keep in mind that one small piece of good chocolate can be very satisfying (and feel so indulgent!), without coming near the calorie count of a rich pie, pudding or brownie. Here are some tips to lighten the calorie load even more: --Nuts can pack a wallop of calories. Use half the amount called for in the recipe, but toast them first to bring out their flavor. Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until they are browned and fragrant. And if you’re using a lesser amount, chop them finely so they’ll be evenly dispersed in the dessert. --Instead of whipped cream topping, use a couple tablespoons low-fat vanilla yogurt. --For frozen dessert recipes that call for ice cream, use sorbet or frozen yogurt instead. Try it in my Strawberry Angel Roll, Apricot Ice Cream Crunch and Warm Caramel Sundaes. Good luck!
