Punkin, can you have molasses or real maple syrup? These are wonderful sweetners. A little really goes a long way. I sub molasses in most of my baked items such as banana bread or "punkin" bread. :D

Also, pieces of frozen fruit are great like frozen chunks of banana, strawberries or blueberries. Canned pineapple is great as well as long as it is in its own juice. Fresh pineapple is even better for a treat. We are now having fruit for deserts. I also freeze the fruits for smoothies, ad some homemade yogurt and it turns out sorta like ice cream.

Our whole family has been on a lower calorie, low sugar, low fat diet since Jan. I have been picking berries and freezing them for winter as well as making sugar free jams. We like sugar free berries over a little angel food cake. We do use splenda sparingly. Have also switched to 100% whole wheat in baking and subing homemade plain yogurt in recipes as well.
We did try sugar free syrup last week and it really wasn't
bad. I'm also looking into whole wheat flour and Stevia. We have switched from potato chips as snacks to Triscuits, cheese, or carrots. But ya know, sometimes you just want a piece of homemade pie.

Thanks for all the great ideas.:)
