Simple Desserts Made From Fruit & Spices

I enjoy having something sweet to end a meal. I've been experimenting with combining fruit with spices as a simple alternative to less healthy desserts. I've been surprised at how nicely my experiments have turned out! A good result from my new gluten-free diet.

Here are a few successes:

-canned pineapple slices sprinkled with cilantro and paprika

-fresh pear dusted with chili powder (really!)

-sliced banana topped with cardamon powder

-prunes stewed in water with cloves

-cut-up kiwis and strawberries dribbled with a balsamic vinaigrette and dill

Let me know if you have your own versions. : )

How about corn meal and banana with some cocoa powder, cinnamon and honey cooked with coconut milk in the nuker for a few minutes.

pears simmered with bay leaf, allspice, and black pepper

pears simmered with lemon, cinnamon, and fresh ginger

pears and cranberries with lemon, ginger, and brown sugar

pears simmered with rosemary

pears (or peaches?) roasted with balsamic vinegar

(see theme: cooked pears. Roasting or braising would probably also work.)

melon with mint

strawberries with basil

I like crushing herbs with a little sugar (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) in a mortar and pestle to help release all the oils when you aren't cooking them.

Anyone tried anything with chives or sage? I have both coming out my ears, practically.

I like making raw "cookies" out of ground up flax seed meal, nuts, banana, and dates. Blend until its a paste, then roll up into balls. These taste especially good rolled in powdered cocoa and put in the freezer for a few hours.

Sometimes I have one of these for breakfast. They're packed with protein and nutrients and are a great way to start the day. They're great as a treat as well.

Great to see everyone else's posts!

I'm looking forward to stewing up some pears, and maybe some apples (with cinnamon?). And, naiiad, I definitely want to try out the your cookies!

      Glutensensitive? or something else?

      Sorry to revive this old post. Had some new bloodworks and an echo done because I still have problems with my stomach. According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly...

      Confused with test results

      @DebJ14 my son is a symptomatic. And his all bloodwork looks good so far. Here there is no treatment for this in allopathic, but back in india , there is a homeopathic treatment which makes people immune to wheat for celiac. Have known doctors whos given best treatment to the patinents and they are back to gluten, we are going india , as it's not sure if...

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      I can understand your decision, and if he ends up having the celiac disease genes, and his symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, at the very least you can likely conclude that he has NCGS and possibly even celiac disease, although you can be certain about the latter. Actually he could still have NCGS without any genetic markers for celiac disease. Approximately...

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      Although genetic testing cannot be used as a stand alone diagnostic measure, it can serve as corroborative evidence to support a diagnosis of celiac disease when considered together with symptoms, particularly when withdrawal of gluten results in dramatic improvement in symptoms. This may be the best course of action in cases where health risks make the gluten...

      Help with blood test result

      Is it possible you overlooked the results of your tTg-IgA test results? It looks like you might have only shared with us one part of your test results.

According to my latest bloodworks I'm still negative for celiac and still low on zinc (even after supplementing it for quite a long time), I'm low on folic acid now too and my bilirubin is quite high (2,5 and 0,6). My ALT is also slightly elevated. I have been doing a gluten free diet quite strict although I did eat some gluten in the previous weeks.  Could my blood result be this way because of gluten sensitivity and me being not strict enough? My echo showed no problems with my liver or pancreas. My bile ducts were fine too (although I don't have a gallbladder anymore).  What to do??? Could this be gluten related?

      @DebJ14 my son is a symptomatic. And his all bloodwork looks good so far. Here there is no treatment for this in allopathic, but back in india , there is a homeopathic treatment which makes people immune to wheat for celiac. Have known doctors whos given best treatment to the patinents and they are back to gluten,  we are going india , as it's not sure if my son has a celiac or something else. Diagnosis is sucks here, every doctor has own narrative and every lab has own counts. I don't trust medical here. I have been working in healthcare administration past 10 yrs and can tell yoh how miserable it is, every dr works here to get money from the insurance,  nobody really cares what patients are going though,  this is the big problem of this country. None of the doctor has given me an example of the damage being caused gluten indulge.

      I can understand your decision, and if he ends up having the celiac disease genes, and his symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, at the very least you can likely conclude that he has NCGS and possibly even celiac disease, although you can be certain about the latter.  Actually he could still have NCGS without any genetic markers for celiac disease. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. There can be some negative consequences with a formal diagnosis, for example it is included as a disability now on most job applications, life insurance can be more expensive and harder to get, and depending on what changes are made to the ADA over the next few years it is possible that those with pre-existing conditions could be penalized.

      Although genetic testing cannot be used as a stand alone diagnostic measure, it can serve as corroborative evidence to support a diagnosis of celiac disease when considered together with symptoms, particularly when withdrawal of gluten results in dramatic improvement in symptoms. This may be the best course of action in cases where health risks make the gluten challenge inadvisable. Some physicians are open to declaring a celiac diagnosis on this basis.
