Desserts for one can be elegant. Keep parfait glasses available to layer your fruits, puddings and whipped toppings.

Baked apples: Core an apple and split about 3/4 down in four sections. Dot with about ½ teaspoon margarine, a sprinkle of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon oatmeal, and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Microwave on high for 4 minutes or until fork inserted in side of apple comes out easily.

Broiled Banana: Slice a banana into quarters lengthwise. Coat with orange juice and broil for a few minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg. Serve plain or over yogurt.

Berry Parfaits: Keep fresh berries on hand; the deeper the color, the better. Layer with low-fat yogurt and top with granola.

Smoothie: Combine frozen yogurt or sherbet with fresh berries, throw in a banana and skim milk. Use a blender to make a drinkable dessert.

Banana Split Parfait: Layer a parfait glass with crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafer crumbs, (any low-fat cookie will do). Follow with frozen yogurt, sliced bananas, fresh berries and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Repeat layers and top with Cool Whip. This is great frozen or freshly made.
