Love me some blueberries during blueberry season! Sometimes large and sweet, other times tiny and tart. Always fun to eat with nutrients that can’t be beat! Any type of blueberry is fine for Blueberry and Fig Crumble since they’re sweetened up a tad.

My recipe for Tropical Yogurt Sauce can be used for dunking fruit skewers, crowning mixed fruit bowls or berry crumbles, or slathering plain cake or cookies—every use is lip-smacking good!

Rice Pudding with Pears and Almonds provides a delicious and nutritious ending to a meal, or on its own as a snack, breakfast or brunch addition! Want a still healthier version? Then substitute cooked brown rice for Italian Arborio for a wholesome mouthful! Pears and almonds are particularly fitting for fall. You can swap for apples and walnuts if this combination suits you!

This recipe for Chocolate Yogurt and Orange Mousse unites the delectable qualities of chocolate with the healthful attributes of low-fat plain yogurt, fresh orange juice and Mandarin orange segments. Chocolate lovers and deniers unite!

Orange Slices with Berry Sauce ups the vitamin C even more thanks to its antioxidant-rich berries along with their natural sugars and fiber. Take that certain “C” and see!

This recipe for Chocolate Pudding has a bittersweet finish for a perfect finale! One spoonful will do, but I’ve provided this indulgent recipe for your indulgence, thank you very much—February or any time!
