Certain treats are not the best for us
but every once in a while
they are good for the soul.
Such things as cinnamon buns, butter tarts, chocolate cake and coconut cream pie would be on the ‘do not eat’ list for the very health conscious.
However…
Well, I am a firm believer in moderation.
Not EVERYTHING in moderation as the old saying goes. But SOME things in moderation are actually on my ‘fine every once in a while’ list. Only whole, true, real ingredients (no edible oil products please)
Make them!
Eat them!
Enjoy them!
Don’t feel guilty about it!
**Go and brush your teeth and don’t enjoy it again for a few days.
**Pam’s tip:
After I have a lovely desert or a plate (or bowl) of something delicious and rich I go straight to my electric toothbrush and give my mouth a good cleaning! Sometimes I even floss!
That’s the signal to my brain that it’s over. I am finished. I am free to carry on with my day or evening and the enjoyment of the deliciousness stays with me but the temptation is gone.
Stay tuned for the above mentioned recipes in the days ahead!
