"A nearly no fat combination of sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, pineapple, bananas and apples. It's a tasty dish to serve at holiday get togethers for those watching their fat intake. I have put it together a few hours ahead and kept it in the frig. Just soak the apples and bananas in some orange juice for a few minutes before doing so."

This was very good; a nice combination of texture and flavors. I wanted more sweet potatoes to the ratio of fruit, so I used almost 2 large cans. Also thought it may be a bit sweet, so I eliminated the brown sugar altogether, and I didn't use the banana. The whole dish looks very festive and colorful! Yummy!

Snohomish, WA

I’m a former interior designer and landscape designer. At the moment I get to enjoy being at home and working only when I want to. I like rollerblading, hiking, backpacking and trips to the ocean. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and moved to the Northwest when I was thirty, over twenty years ago. I’m afraid they’ll have to bury me here in WA. This is God’s country and I’m never leaving. I have a smallish collection of cookbooks, preferring to use the library and a copy machine. Among my favorites though, are: Recipes 1-2-3, by Rozanne Gold, a collection of recipes containing no more than 3 ingredients (excepting water, salt and pepper); A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Mary and Vincent Price, recipes collected from friends and chefs of great restaurants around the world; The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, by Nancy Harmon Jenkins, about a collection of cuisines I’m convinced are the healthiest in the world and The Low-Calorie Gourmet, by Pierre Franey. Currently my passions are our dogs, the garden, cooking, the natural world and of course, Dh. I can now add Zaar to that list of passions (translate: addiction). We have three dogs, two rescued and one adopted. They are Sugarpea, a Golden Retriever, Chickpea, a Llasa Apso and Sweetpea, a Shih Tzu; small, medium and large. We’re quite a sight out on the trail. One of the things I am most fond of about living here is the ability to vegetable garden year ‘round.
