Healthy Buttermilk Pie takes the classic old-fashioned pie recipe and lightens it up to be healthier while keeping all the flavor.

Healthy Buttermilk Pie

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

This week, I am  joining a blogging group to get back into the full swing of Spring by sharing recipes made healthier for you. Eating healthier need not involve drastic changes-  little things here and there can really make a difference, like using more fresh vegetables, or cutting back on refined sugars. But we can still enjoy the occasional treat.

As  in this buttermilk  pie makeover by Virginia Willis. Normally this pie would clock in with twice the added sugar and butter. But I  swear to you  I  have tried this and it simply will not be missed. You can find more of her recipes in her book Lighten Up, Y’all.

Make sure you see all the recipes shared below the printout, and be sure to sign up for the wonderful giveaway from the event sponsors.

And make sure you check back with me tomorrow for more recipe fun! I’ll be sharing my recipe using Smokin’ O’s in a rocking recipe for Dry Rub Buffalo Wings.   Wednesday I’ll be sharing my recipe for a healthy Vegetable Stew. Thursday I’ll be  posting my recipe for Powerhouse Pumpkin Pancakes with Barlean’s Coconut Oil and Digestive Blend. And on Friday I’ll  finish up the week with my recipe for Greek Cauli-Rice, a healthy low-carb side dish perfect for the upcoming grilling season with steaks and kebabs everywhere. Join me each day!
