So it's almost getting to be christmas baking season...
How have you adapted your favourite recipes into something thats more "guilt free" to enjoy?
Please post any recipes you do have!

Also - When I am calculating calories for my recipes I see what's killing them is the White Flour & White Sugar?
What do you substitute for those two items?

    Whole wheat flour can be used in a lot of things. Agave nectar and Splenda can be used for sugar in some cases.

    I prefer to just enjoy my fav stuff in all its glory for 1 day. I'm making homemade ice cream with the pumpkin pie(also homemade-crust too!) and persimmon pudding.

    Some favs if you REALLY want to swap-cauliflower "mashed potatoes"
    Instead of yams with the marshmallows, bake acorn squash and mix with butter and a bit of brown sugar or agave
    I'm probably going to make quinoa cooked in chicken stock(or turkey stock) with dried cranberries and pecans

    TRY WHEAT FLOUR AND A SUGAR SUBSTITUTE SPLEND OR STEVIA.

    There are a lot of low cal delicious holiday foods on skinnytaste.com I have tried quite a few, and the meals I have daily are from there. Everything so far has been amazing and nearly guilt free.
