How I wish I could indulge in my favorite treats or desserts anytime I want - but I know that when it comes to certain treats - less is best. So I will have the truly decadent ones on special occasions only. This morning I awakened with a craving for a strawberry milkshake or an apple pie. I haven't had either in almost a year, so later I think I will go out and get some. What are the treats or desserts you would love to indulge in every day? - not all at the same time of course.

I rarely indulge because of health reasons, and also because my favorites wouldn't be my favorites if I ate them on a regular basis. My favorite dessert is a strawberry whip. My recipe calls for it to be made in a 9 by 13 inch pan, which is great for entertaining, but when its just my husband and I its not something that I can make as it will go bad before its finished. I need to tweak that recipe so that I can make a couple small fruit nappy sized dishes of it. Anything else will be waste and I hate to waste.

Would it keep if it is stored in the fridge?

@Kandae11 I do not crave cakes at all, but will eat them if offered. I love just about anything dipped in chocolate, though.

@Kandae11 I m now using a special salt with much less sodium. It is as good as the other.

The experts say, too much sweet is bad - and too much sodium is bad also - it would be lovely if neither was bad for us. That's why I try not to tempt myself too much either way.

There's no dessert I would indulge every day, because I get bored of the same flavor easily. Pudding and tiramisu tend to be my favorite, as their soft and smooth, easily to swallow. Ice cream and milkshakes are also good ones.

I no longer have any sweet cravings. There are a couple things I found I can have and they are completely sugar free and nutritious, and take care of the chocolate craving.

@Kandae11 That's a good way to avoid temptation. I never did buy snacks, even before this diet. Though I did indulge a lot more than I do now.

I love yogurt and fruit smoothies. Sometimes if i am too lazy to use a blender, i just mashed with spoon. Recently, i craved for strawberry. So i tried to look for an ice cream with strawberry flavor. And there i got it. It tastes really good specially now that it's summer.
