FitSugar Healthy Holiday Swap: DIY Pumpkin Yogurt Nov 6, 2009 3:47 AM I love pumpkin-flavored anything — pies, muffins, cheesecake, even ice cream! But gorging on too many sweet pumpkin treats can leave me with a sick stomach full of unhealthy fats and sugars. One way I've been satisfying my pumpkin cravings is by making my own pumpkin-flavored yogurt at home. It's really easy to do, just mix plain yogurt with canned pumpkin puree . If you're trying to cut back on sugar, use 100 percent pure pumpkin puree and add your own spices and sweetener. If you want the instant flavors of pumpkin pie, mix yogurt up with canned pumpkin pie puree that's been sweetened with sugar and spices. I sometimes use vanilla yogurt with the pure pumpkin mix just to give it a little sweetness, and if I'm craving the texture of pumpkin pie, a nice sprinkling of healthy granola or oats seems to do the trick.

Angelica Steel Cut Oatmeal With Pomegranate Oct 27, 2009 9:59 AM I'm a huge fan of Trader Joes' Steel Cut Oatmeal because it tastes more natural than most instant varieties, but I'm always looking for a way to dress it up. I usually pick raisins or raspberries, but this week I picked up a package of pomegranate seeds (Trader Joes sells them). They are tasty, colorful, seasonal and full of antioxidants . Hearty, Fall breakfast heaven!
