Sugar-free Posts for Mum

My mum is giving sugar for the days leading up the the Shun the Sun Marathon that she organizes. (Yeah, my mom is more metal than your mom, don't be jealous).
I decided to dedicate some recipes for her that are both refined sugar free and things that we both enjoyed when I was a kid. I didn't grow up in one of those "make everything from scratch" families. I frequently ate Pop-Tarts for both breakfast and lunch. Sunday night dessert was white cake mix dumped over canned fruit. Now, there is a time and place for such things in life (except for the Pop-Tarts, bleech), therefore these recipes easy to whip up without have to whip out the blender and oven.
