My inspiration to make this was the day I made my family heirloom recipe for a traditional Bavarian plum tart, served over a delicious shortbread crust. I didn't want to surrender to that, so I gently simmered my own serving of plums. The plums made such a delicious syrup that I decided to serve it over yogurt. I loved it!

Forget fruit yogurts with high fructose corn syrup. You can do this to any kind of stone fruit so that you can eat fruit in a delicious way.

My favorite plum to use are Italian Prunes. They're a little tricky to find, but they come into season around September.

When the craving for chocolate hits, try this Chocolate-Cinnamon Bread Pudding. The warm melted chocolate makes it a definite comfort food, while the whole wheat bread and evaporated skim milk adds to its nutritional punch.

(Recipe reconstructed and adapted from Hildegard's circa 1157 treatise Physica: Liber Simplicis Medicinæ ) These biscuits were first made over 900 years ago by the Christian saint, Hildegard of Bingen. She said that these spice biscuits should be taken t regular intervals to increase joy and positivity! I like to substitute half of the plain flour with spelt flour, and use all organic ingredients.

This creamy dessert is low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium.

I found an extremely high rated recipe for German Apple cake on Allrecipes.com and adapted it by using applesauce instead of oil, honey instead of sugar and half wheat flour instead of all white.

I liked it, however next time I will either only use 3/4 cup of honey or 1.5 cups of brown sugar instead of the honey. I would also chop the apples smaller than I did in this one.

Other than that a tasty and moist treat that is guilt free none the less.

These are so cute and colorful! The kiwi in the bottom of the cup not only adds more fruit and color to the freezer pop, it also holds the stick in place.

A zesty way to prepare a traditional cheesecake.

A double-dose of blueberries (frozen and dried) gives these muffins extra flavor, and whole-wheat flour adds fiber. At just 125 calories each, these blueberry muffins make a not-too-guilty treat to start your day.
