    I like substitutions.. 'cause honestly, if you ain't gettin the real thing, your body will crave it one way or another! :P
    I have carob powder instead of cocoa powder (just small differences..less cholesterol..richer flavor)
    Also, using 1/2 a banana instead of 1/4 or 1/3 cup of oil in your recipe, and 1/2 cup of applesauce instead of 2-3 eggs. These substitutions work really well for brownies!!

    Try these. I love them! They are from Hungry Girl.
    1 box Devil's Food cake mix, 1 c. plain Greek Yogurt, and 1 c. Water. Mix together. It will be pretty thick. Spread in a non stick sprayed 13x9 cake pan. Bake as the cake package recommends. Awesome!

    One ingredient ice cream. Take a ripe banana and chop it up. Put it on a plate or small container and pop in the freezer until frozen (about an hour or so). All you really need to do from there is pop it in a food processor but you can add in whatever you like....I do 1T peanut butter. You can do honey, other fruit, mini choco chips and even top with lite cool whip. A nice change of pace.

    this might sound gross, but i mix splenda in with 1% milk and pour it over crushed ice ... sure, it's no where close to tasting like ice cream, but it's cold and sweet, and that works for me :)

    My family loved it. We found that warming them up a little was more delicious than eating them frozen.

    Grilled fruit is amazing! The natural sugars caramelize and it tastes even sweeter. The other night I made grilled fruit kabobs with a yogurt dipping sauce. I did pineapple, peaches, plums, bananas and strawberries and they all came out great. I also made grilled angel food cake with a strawberry-rhubarb sauce that was delicious.

    I had some extra fruit that i needed to use. I dont have exact measurements cause I just kind of threw this together.....
    Use a pie pan
    4 cut up peaches and about 1 cup of black berries
    Place in pie pan
    Mix about 1 cup wheat flour with 1 cup rolled oats, cinamon and some maple syrup.
    Cover top with flour/rolled oat mixure
    Bake in oven at 350 until bubbly

    My husband said it was one of the best desserts he has ever tasted!

    What is the texture of these? I'm trying to wrap my head around this and it's not working. Brownies? Cake-ish?

    Sounds amazing and super easy! I just happen to have a whole bunch of whole wheat flour to use. :)
