These cookies get a boost of nutrition from dried cherries, blueberries and cranberries. Submitted by PHULLER

I love to increase the nutrition of baked goods by adding whole grains. That's the secret to these pecan tarts. Submitted by CHEF_MEG

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

My mom loves baklava, and this is her recipe - hazelnuts and almonds make a killer combination in the flaky, sticky pastry (my favourite too, since I hate walnuts and pistachios!). I believe she got it from one of her schoolmate's parents when she lived near the Greek area of Toronto. You need a half sheet pan for this, which makes a lot - about 54 3" squares! You can freeze it after the syrup drench, though.Submitted by JO_JO_BA
