Over the years, I've noticed a preference for sweet bites that are lower in sugar but not lacking in flavor. Therefore, I've downsized the sugar amounts in each component below. The whole berries, vanilla, a touch of acid, and heightened spice create a fresher, lighter option providing a balanced morsel.

Incredibly easy to make, this vibrant and healthy salad is suitable for a warm evening or when it is too hot to cook. Serve as a side dish or my favorite main entree with crusty garlic bread.

A little trip south of the border is easy to accomplish with this flank steak grilled and marinated with amazing fresh flavors of garlic, jalapeño, and parsley.

Baby carrots offer sweetness to any meat-based entree. The crunch, sweet, and slightly caramelized flavors are perfectly balanced and offer a side dish rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Everyone has that one Grandma whose home smelled of freshly baked goodies. The aromas welcomed you in the door and pulled you into the kitchen where you behold a couple of tea towel covered cooling loaves. Similar to the old fashioned bread, but lightened up for those desiring fewer carbs but the same great moist treat.
