My mom used to mix a little sour cream into cottage cheese, and mix in some seasoned salt, with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes %26amp; scallions - she called it ';Farmer's Chop'; and it's actually pretty good:) ... Pumpkin pie is pretty healthy too, especially if you cut down the sugar and use some wheat flour in the crust.What is the recipe for a healthy comfort food?
You've just got to try this one for Blackberry Cobbler:





1/2 cup sugar


4-1/2 teaspoons quick-cooking tapioca


1/4 teaspoon ground allspice


5 cups fresh or frozen blackberries (thawed)


2 tablespoons orange juice





Dough:





1 cup all-purpose flour


1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided


1/4 teaspoon baking soda


1/4 teaspoon salt


1/3 cup reduced-fat vanilla yogurt


1/3 cup fat-free milk


3 tablespoons butter, melted





In a large bowl, combine the sugar, tapioca and allspice. Add blackberries and orange juice; toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Spoon into a 2 quart baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.





In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking soda and salt. Combine the yogurt, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients until smooth. Spread over the berry mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake 25-30 minutes longer or until golden brown. About 10 servings.





Not only does this taste great; it only has 199 calories, and has 4 g fiber. Secrets in the crust! Try it by substituting the blackberries for apples, peaches or other fruit. Hope you enjoy!
