Do you always make dessert at lunch and dinner? If so, why- what is your reasoning?
thank you!
Hello Collins family!
Glad you asked!
There are some reasons, yes.
-They are quite spoiled to a little sweet after their meals. I started it. Shame on me! But I do try to use better sweeteners these days and keep it low sugar more times than not.
-Honestly, our lives are quite humble and bland these days. This adds a little fun and excitement to the otherwise 'same ole same ole'. A little sweet also encourages my pokey eaters to giddy up!
-If you'll notice, I try to get in another healthy food in my desserts...most of the time, but certainly not all. I will use fresh fruit on hand, such as apples right now...or fruit from the freezer, such as berries. Its also a good place to get in a serving of whole grains even if I don't get in another fruit (or veggies in some cases as in pumpkin!).
But things don't always go quite like I plan. Today at lunch I had planned on frying apples but my time ran later than the hungry bellies wanted so they got homemade jelly on a second slice of homemade bread.
