We'd like your ideas on alternatives to the pastry dough here. Maybe cook the fruit in an 8X8 pan, cool and serve on a whole wheat cracker? Got a recipe for a whole wheat crust? Let us know!

I recommend enlisting the kids anytime you make fruit leather. This recipe requires an extra step to seed the grapes, making assistants all the more helpful.

Blending nonfat ricotta with the gorgonzola, you keep the flavor but cut some fat and calories. Serve this with a salad for brunch or drizzle with a little honey for an elegant dessert.

Here's a simple fruit leather recipe for you! The joy of fruit leather is that it's pretty malleable and forgiving. So any fruit (or two complementary fruits) that weighs about 2 pounds can make a nice batch. And savory additions (mint, basil, brandy) sometimes work a little magic.

These cookies are low in fat and sugar. The poppy seeds add texture as well as some anti-oxidants and fiber. Blending olive oil and butter in baking gives you the flavor of butter but some of the nutritional benefits of the olive oil. Low fat yogurt also replaces some of the fat content.

High Tunnel farming caught my eye because its extended growing season adds to the amount of local produce we get. While farm manager Aviva Asher was tidying up the winter crop to make way for spring, I discovered another benefit of local growing: use what you’ve got.
