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!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail, I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however, the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I...

      Being a burden to family/friends

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another. If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on. They're just not ready to learn that lesson...

      I’m so confused…

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Recipe Apps?

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances. It's a web site but there's also an app.

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.
