Tips:

1/2 sugar and 1/2 (any)sugar substitute combined will double the sweetness. This is the ratio of Baking Splenda and easy to make your own. EX: 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup sugar substitute will equal the sweetness of one cup plain sugar.

You need at least 1/4 of the real sugar in all baked goods to get the texture of real baked goods.

To sub low fat buttermilk if you don't keep that on hand:

1 oz white vinegar to 7 oz milk, microwave for 20 seconds for milk to clabber.

For no fat healthy cream of chicken soup. One can of chicken broth, add 1/2 can of non fat half and half. Heat and add 2 tbls flour mixed dissolved in water to make a thin paste, stir in broth mixture and heat until thick. Salt and pepper as desired. You may want to add more milk or more flour paste depending on sauce thickness. For extra richness, temper on whole raw egg with a little hot water and then mix into the hot sauce. I make this and add cut up cooked chicken. I can add uncooked frozen vegetables for a pot pie filling or use as is for a topping for rice or pasta.
