I know I have talked about this - like million times already in this blog. At the risk of becoming monotonous and boring, I am repeating it once again - I am a WHOLEGRAIN lover. I cannot get enough of them. And esp. in this country with the variety of whole grains at my disposal , I cannot help being ecstatic. Just like the paparazzi can blab even in their dreams which restaurants/locations celebrities go to, anyone who knows me will find me at local Whole Foods market in case they find that I seem to be missing at home. Most often (exception of few other boring places which sadly have to be visited!), I can be found at either Barnes and Nobles store or Whole Foods. I am like a kid in candy heaven! Like a dog trying to catch its tail, I keep going round and round the aisles of these stores without getting bored or embarrassed (ppl must think I am silly for looking at the same aisle again and again! I care less!)

Anyways, all this passion has to be culminated into something right - yes - cooking it sure is. Amongst other fresh smelling books, Cookbooks aisle is a must visit place  and in one such recent visit I chanced a look at my messiah. Author Lorna Sass.  Woman after my own heart and soul. I latched on to her wholegrain book and came home to make it the same day. Oh Boy! Was I overjoyed!!!!! It was like a whole new world was opened up for me. My husband shook his head in resignation at my mirth over some "silly whole grain cooking" - but his face was worth watching when I set our dinner table with this delicious dessert. At first he was skeptical since we are not dessert eaters, but the tartness from the fruit with slight sweetness accompanied by that spongy cake made him a happy eater. Of course he was surprised to learn that it was almost fat free! That satisfied smile and burp I heard at the end of the meal was the reward I was waiting for :)  I have adapted the recipe a little to suit my pantry and needs. I had fresh plums from our backyard waiting to be used so that went in instead of peaches. I had frozen blackberry but you can use mixed berries for this. You can get a general idea from my notes to make this recipe your own.
