  Have you ever tried the combination of oranges and carrots for a cake? It is tender, juicy, and full of orange flavor. Also, I call this cake a healthy dessert for two reasons: - I replaced the white sugar with organic coconut sugar, and - I combined wheat flour with whole wheat flour in the same amount to keep the refined carbs under control, add some nutrients, and reduce refined carbs. Keeping refined carbs under control is another part of healthy eating and weight management. And that's what I have tried...

   I call this raspberry ice cream healthy because it is made with Greek yogurt instead of cream and coconut sugar instead of white sugar.

   I love summer for the wide variety of fruits I can enjoy.  My orchard is bursting with colors: cherries, sour cherries, and peaches.  I like to take a little walk through my orchard to treat myself to fresh, juicy fruits right off the tree.   This year I was blessed with lots of sour cherries. Some of them are already on my pantry shelves in the form of jam and compote. Some are in the freezers to bake this Healthy Sour Cherry Cake later in the year.  Sour cherries, also...
