Many of our favorite desserts and dressings can be full of fat and calories.  To give classic recipes a needed nutrition boost, Mealtime.org teamed up with chef and cookbook author Andrew Schloss to create recipes that are infused with nutrient-rich canned fruits and veggies.

CANfidential Creations

These quick, convenient and nutritious baked goods ingeniously combine store-bought mixes, canned fruits and veggies and a few other ingredients to create sweet and savory confections that yield at least a half cup of fruits or vegetables per serving.

• Sweet Potato Pecan Waffles with Praline Peaches
• Stuffed Garlic Spinach Bread
• Red Satin Cake with Peaches and Raspberries
• German Chocolate Cake
• Carrot Spice Cake with Apricot Curd  

Dressed to the Nines

Mealtime.org helps you kick high-calorie dressings to the curb by replacing the oil traditionally found in salad dressings with a puréed canned fruit or vegetable.  This cuts virtually all the fat and unnecessary calories, while providing an unexpected dose of fruits and vegetables.
