Another page is to be devoted to meal preparations shortly, but I like you and most people I think, love our sweet things in life. As an example of a lower cholesterol meal preparation tip, you can often get away with using two egg whites instead of a whole egg - thereby reducing the cholesterol in the recipe considerably.
SPECIAL NOTE: When a specific brand name of artificial sweetener is used, you can use the equivalent of the one you use. For example, a tablespoon of Splenda is equal to a tablespoon of sugar, so you would use your sweeteners equivalent to one tablespoon of sugar. I use Nutrasweet or it's generic equivalent, so I would use three small tablets. Be aware though, that if the recipe calls for cooking AND it requires the artificial sweetener to be added prior to cooking, then you need the special sweeteners that tolerate heat well, such as Splenda. 1 cup sugar = 48 teaspoons of sugar, or 48 artificial sweetener tablets - you may be able to get by in a recipe with half the amount of the artifical sweetener.
SPECIAL NOTE 2: Be aware that although great effort has been made to get the nutritional analysis of calories, cholesterol and saturated fat correct, the concentrations within ingredients can change from one manufacturer to the next. For example, some cocoa powder has 0% saturated fat, while other manufactures turn it out with 7% and even 10% saturated fat. One really needs to be alert to the food analysis given on food items by the manufacturer and buy accordingly.
Also, please do not rely on the food composition tables given for each recipe below, they are a guide only!

blackberries, strawberries (halved, if large), rinsed and drained
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
* 1 tablespoon light rum (optional)
* non sugar replacement equal to 1/2 cup sugar
* 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
* 1/4 cup tapioca
* 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
* 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Instructions:
In a large bowl, gently toss berries, lemon juice, lemon zest, rum (if using), sugar replacement, flour, and tapioca. Place in a 1 1/2-quart ovenproof round baking dish. Set aside. Meanwhile, roll out pastry on a lightly floured work surface to 1/8-inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut out a circle 2 inches larger than the baking dish. Set scraps aside. Brush the circle with the egg-water mixture and place, brushed side down, over the baking dish. Stretch the pastry tight (like a drum), pressing the overhanging dough onto the sides of the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining egg-water mixture. Cut the scraps into small decorative shapes with little cookie cutters or a sharp knife. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. When ready to bake, brush the top with the remaining egg mixture and lightly press decorative shapes on the top. Brush the tops of the shapes with egg mixture. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Bake for another 25 minutes, until pastry is golden. Remove from oven and cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
