This recipe yields about 3.5 pints apple butter, and is suitable for canning if you like, or throw the jars in the fridge. If canned, this keeps up to 6 months (if it lasts that long!), or in the fridge, use within 2 months.

This is a two-fer recipe, to boot! If you stop before the second cooking session, you've made applesauce; continue on and you'll have apple butter!

Applesauce is great on its own, or as a fat substitute in baking. Apple butter is divine stirred into oatmeal, or as a sauce for meat, or stirred into yogurt!

Loaded with fresh tomatoes and basil, this quiche takes advantage of the glut of late-season vegetables you can get for cheap at the farmer's market. For an especially flavorful and beautiful pie, use two or three varieties of heirloom tomatoes in different colors, like deep pink Brandywines or fun green Zebras.

Perfection in my opinion! The applesauce reduces the need for as much fat. This is the best granola because of the way it's roasted. I really like it with coconut too. The dried organic coconut is so small that even my picky eaters don't know it's there.

I found this recipe on the internet when I was looking for a healtier alternative to store bought bagels.

This is a good substitute for those who love bagels but hate all the calories and the sodium in the store bought ones. The bagels aren't as sweet as the ones in the store, but I'm sure you could add a bit more sugar to the dough if you wanted to make them sweeter.

The recipe is fairly easy to make. The first time I made it I just cut the recipe in half (mainly because I didn't think my family would eat all 30 bagels before they turned).

You can also adjust the recipe to include toppings or add-ins to customize your bagel (not included in the nutritional information calculation). Some suggestions would be sesame seeds (dip into sesame seeds once the egg yolk wash is on the bagel), cinnamon & raisins, blueberry, or anything and everything you'd like to put in.

Enjoy! =)

This is a dish you can use many ways!!! Eat it like a burrito, in place of taco meat on your tacos, as a dip for tortilla chips, or our favorite way is to put just a little in a soft flour taco with a little salsa and low fat sour cream. yummm... however you eat it, it is wonderful! Make it healthier with a whole wheat tortilla!!

The trend of mini desserts is a healthy eater's salvation. When sweets are pre-portioned, it's harder to cheat. You can't say, "Well, I'll just have a small sliver" or "I'll just even out this side of the cake..."
These Lemon-Berry Tartlets scream summertime to me. I imagine eating them on a patio after a luncheon with my girlfriends while sipping iced mint tea and feeling the warm breeze. They're just so refreshingly clean on the tongue.
Lemon and raspberries pair well. Each has a sourness with hints of sweetness and an acidity. You could use blueberries or strawberries, but I just love this combination.
Phyllo dough is a secret weapon for the healthy baker--it even comes in whole wheat varieties. The paper-thin layers of dough are often painted in butter for pastries like baklava, but they'll serve as a low-calorie pie crust with minimal added fat. The dough itself is basically just flour and water.
The "curd" filling is basically a lemon pudding. You can serve it on scones or muffins, as a topping for ice cream or sorbet, or as a pie filling, as you see here.

The versatility of this salsa is limitless! Put it on grilled chicken or steak, add it to eggs, or serve with tortilla chips.
