My husband’s favorite dessert flavor is lemon. These hit his tart meter for sure! They taste divine and have no sugar and no gluten. Your friends and family won’t need to know these aren’t “bad” for you!

I found a classic Southern Living recipe and took out all the sugar. These are amazing – even if I do say so myself!

These sweet and spicy nuts are perfect for snacking, make a great salad topper or adding a special something to your favorite desserts.

To make this dish “patriotic’ all you need to do is add blueberries and you have a red and blue dessert. You don’t need to feel left out of the holiday celebration just because you’re on a diet. Yours will be just as colorful and tasty as anything else being served.

When I made it the other night one dinner guest declared it “Birthday Cake Good.” Which means...who needs birthday cake when you can eat this kind of Big YUM stuff!

This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

A delicious sauce to pair with your favorite dessert.

If you don’t use liquor in your cooking you can leave that out. You can also flavor them with stevia flavorings. You could have coconut, vanilla or other flavors.

I eat very few bananas these days because as they ripen their carb count/glycemic index load goes up. So this is a treat. Don’t plan to eat the whole loaf yourself. That could get dangerous.

This stuff is addictive and so refreshing. RARELY do I take seconds on a dessert. With this one I did.

Most crème brulee recipes call for caramelizing sugar on top of the custard. I love that, but the sugar is too much. So, in this case, I made up a simple strawberry sauce to go on the top instead.

Pears and chocolate go great together. Who needs candy apples when you've got these?

These are delightful little jellies. They taste so French and so fresh! Not like those little gum-balls you can buy at the candy store.

This is a quick cake that can be served at a party. You don’t need large pieces when something has as much flavor as this does. Pumpkin treats are a big hit in the Fall and over the holidays.

This cherry tart is so easy and it’s fancy enough to serve at a dinner party.

An easy-to-make, low-carb caramel sauce. Wowza!

A simple, tasty seasonal desert.

This stuff is addictive and so refreshing. RARELY do I take seconds on a dessert. With this one I did.

This pie comes together easily, and your family will never know they aren’t eating the usual pecan pie pile of sugar.

Most often a cheesecake like this has a crust made out of gingersnaps. I’m making mine this way and you’ll swear you’re eating a gingerbread crust without all the sugar.
