Angel food cake is versatile, tasty and much lower in calories than most cakes. Add fresh berries, a little whipped and dizzle (drizzle not pour) a little warmed chocolate sauce over it. It looks great and tastes good too. It’s a simple recipe with a big impact.

Canned pears (or fresh and sliced) with a little sour cream or greek yogurt on top with a sprinkle of cinamon and sharp cheddar cheese.

Mixed fresh apricots and blueberries and serve with a good aged cheddar cheese.

Sliced strawberries soaked in amaretto with slivered almonds over a low fat vanilla ice cream. (Not a kid friendly dessert)

Sorbet is a good choice. And mixing several varieties to make a beautiful presentation moves it up something tha twill entice your family and be worthy of company.

Jello with mixed fruit and a little whipped cream.

Frozen cherries (thawed) over ricotta cheese or greek yogurt and slivered almonds.

Mixed berries with lime juice, coconut flakes and just a hint of sugar.
