Dessert

There’s no such thing as deprivation when it comes to healthy eating and living.  My daily desserts include mostly fresh fruit or dark chocolate.  But I also love to bake.  Cookies, pies, bars, cakes.  And when I do bake, I almost always want the “real deal.”  The only time when I’ll use whole wheat flour or less butter/oil is when this actually enhances or doesn’t take away from the original recipe (like in the whole wheat banana bread—super moist!)  And I’m not afraid to use butter. 😀 

Because, really, when I want a dessert, I don’t want a 100-calorie oreo pack.  I want the real deal.  And you can quote me on that.

Enjoy! 😀
