A Sweet Treat

I was chatting with my friend's mom a little earlier today and she mentioned she was doing a low-sugar diet and Splenda was upsetting her stomach a wee bit. So I decided I would adopt the challenge of finding some great low-sugar, low-fat Christmas cookie desserts. In the meantime, I found a Autumn dessert recipe that uses honey in place of sugar to give her something to sample while I do my research.

I'm having a slight variation of this for a snack -

1/4 fat free plain yogurt

1-2 drops vanilla extract

1 small squeeze honey

1 Gala apple, sliced thin

1/8 cup antioxident trail mix (walnuts, almonds, dry cherries, craisins, & dried blueberries)

Very yummy!

1. Combine yogurt and honey in a small bowl; stir with whisk.

2. Combine pear, apple, and grapes in a large bowl. Spoon 3/4 c fruit into each of 4 dessert dishes; top each with about 2 1/2 tbsp yogurt sauce. Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg if desired.
