  As you fiddle with your own dessert recipes, think about how you can reduce the fat and sugar. By using fruit purées you can add moisture, delicious flavor, and natural sweetness. Fruit purées are best in quick breads.
  This brownie is moist and cakey. Using too much applesauce can cause baked products to become slick and gummy. But this brownie has a perfect balance of a little fat from pure butter, plus low-fat sour cream, fat-free chocolate syrup, and just 1 tablespoon of applesauce to keep the brownies fudgy and addicting.
  Chocolate cake that forms its own rich, fudgy sauce is a true comfort food dessert. When I was a kid, we made this all the time on rainy days. My updated version is slimmed down, but retains all the concentrated chocolate flavor you could hope for.
  Rich and crumbly, these taste exactly like what you would get from a corner bakery shop. The important difference is that the fat is kept to a minimum, but you get the look, taste, and texture of the high-fat versions. Make these either with currants or, for an eye-popping look, use dried cranberries instead.
  This simple raisin and pear pie is perfect when there is an abundance of pears at your farmer's market or grocer. The low-fat crust is easy to prepare and very flaky and you'll love the granola-like topping. This is a great pie for informal get-togethers as well as any holiday affair.

conversations.value: Why settle for store-bought vanilla pudding when making your own is so easy. And you can control the amount of vanilla you add in. A vanilla bean and vanilla extract are added to give a rich almost French vanilla taste to the custard. A fresh tangy blueberry sauce gives the dessert some additional nutrition and a beautiful color.
  Selecting and storing vegetables is easy when you take the time to search out the best produce you can find. Use these handy tips to maximize the bounty at your grocer or farmers' market.
  Choose tender, straight green stalks. Avoid spreading or woody stems. Store in plastic bags in the refrigerator crisper for 1–3 days. Best season: April to June.
  Search for smooth crisp pods. Avoid limp, wrinkled, or fat, overly mature pods. Store in plastic bags in the refrigerator crisper for 1–3 days. Available all year.

conversations.value: The youngest zucchini and yellow squash taste the best. Look for summer squash that is about 5 to 7 inches long. They should be firm and heavy for their size with tight vivid color free of brown spots or cuts. Store in a loose bag in the refrigerator. Use within 2–3 days. Best season: late spring.
  Tomatoes should be vine ripened and fully colored. They should feel heavy for their size. Flavor is best in tomatoes that are stored at room temperature. Avoid tomatoes from refrigerated sections of the market. Best season: late spring through early fall.
  Choose small, firm, slightly rounded turnips. Avoid large ones as they tend to be strong flavored and woody. Store unwashed in the refrigerator for 1 week. Available all year.
