The key to making Erica’s mom’s recipe for rice pudding healthier is using brown rice instead of white. It’s delicious and nutritious!

Apple Raisin Cakes
Small cakes make great snacks. Serve with additional applesauce. Preparation Time: 10 Minutes. This recipe is from The WEBB Cooks, articles and recipes by Robyn Webb, courtesy of the American Diabetes Association.
Banana Custard Scrunch
Easy recipe – great served in a tall glass with long spoon. Layers of honey-coated oats, yoghurt custard and bananas make this a healthy kids favorite ….. although I’ve known adults to ask for seconds!!!
Healthier Easy Sugar Cookies
I love this recipe. I could eat at least ten in one sitting which is why I exchanged some butter with non-fat plain yogurt. They still taste great and I feel a lot better about eating so many.
Party Cranberry Salad
This gelatin salad is great for potluck dinners. It’s been a hit everywhere I’ve taken it. It looks especially festive served in a glass bowl.
Candied Citrus Peel
You can use the peel of orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit. This recipe can easily be doubled.
Healthier Soft Oatmeal Cookies
My family loves these oatmeal cookies, and with my made-over version, they are a great way to sneak extra fiber and grains into their diet! I reduce the sugar, add whole wheat, use rolled oats and add dates (for extra fiber!)
Momma Lamb’s Famous Fruit Salad
This recipe came from my momma and is my favorite fruit salad. It can also be made sugar-free for those who need to watch their blood sugar. Delicious either way. Also very easy to double this recipe too! You can vary the flavor of this salad by using some of the juices from either the mandarin oranges or the maraschino cherries, or both, in place of some of the pineapple juice. Enjoy!
Raw Brownies
These are no-bake brownies that have carob powder instead of cocoa. They’re much healthier than regular brownies. Good for hyperactive children and very easy to make.
Honey Baked Apples
These baked apples are stuffed with cranberries and glazed with a mixture of honey and brown sugar for an extra-special treat that makes the house smell great too!
Healthier Apple Crisp II
A simply wonderful dessert that’s healthier with less sugar, unpeeled apples, white whole wheat flour and walnuts.
Red Hot Baked Apples
This is an old fashioned, oven baked dessert that everybody loves. My mom always baked apples, but I added the red-hots because I love them.
Sweet Grilled Peaches
Peaches are spruced up with a little honey and a dash of cinnamon before being packaged into foil and cooked on the grill. As my husband says, these taste like a peach cobbler without the crust!
Chocolate-Banana Tofu Pudding
This delightful, guilt-free dessert can be whipped together in just 5 minutes. It’s suitable for everyone, vegans and chocoholics alike! The banana and chocolate completely mask the tofu taste, no one will guess your secret!
