Yes, there are treats at the spa. Portions are modest, yet they satisfy that sweet craving. The usual 1/2 cup (125 mL) of butter in a cake like this has been reduced. Serve warm.
Revamp any salad with this homemade dressing, ready in a snap! This dressing is best served over crunchy carrot, coleslaw or couscous salads.
These sweet-tart pops are a slam dunk with kids. A bit of seedless berry jam (you choose the flavour) adds sweetness and a rich berry colour. If you don't have ice pop moulds handy, use disposable paper cups and wooden sticks; just peel off the cups when you're ready to eat them.
While everyone's focus is on Christmas dinner, it's always nice to have something special for Christmas morning as well - nothing that takes too much time, mind you, but something that looks and tastes great.

These little loaves work wonders as gifts, but you can also set them out as a sweet afternoon treat or as part of a holiday brunch. For a selection of flavours, make the Chocolate-Pear Loaves and Chestnut Loaves as well and package the trio in a pretty tin.
This lightened-up version of strawberries and cream is a pop worthy of any hot summer day. The berries are the star of this frozen treat, so use ripe, in-season strawberries for optimum flavour.
