The two goals don't have to be in conflict though. Midday Live Modern mom contributor and author of the best-selling book "Half the Sugar, All the Love"... Jennifer Tyler Lee joined us remotely today from her Burlingame kitchen to share three comforting recipes with a healthy twist.
Lee says, "Banana bread recipes are a top search item. But the typical recipe has a lot of added sugar." Lee's version uses ripe bananas, Medjool dates and Greek yogurt for a no-sugar version that is tender, moist and naturally sweet.
Lee also shares a chocolate chip cookie recipe starring Mejool dates and a strawberry ice cream pop that is sweetened with fresh or frozen berries.
