I think my husband has the best...A very good point. I think my husband has the best relationship with sugar of anyone I know, and I think it comes from the fact that his mother never really kept sweets in the house. Dessert didn't naturally follow dinner, it was something you had to go out for, but it wasn't forbidden. It's one thing to go out for an ice cream cone now and then, but another thing to keep five tubs of various flavored ice cream in the freezer. I always think the real thing is better than diet treats too, as they are mostly chemicals. When I stayed with a French family one summer, at the end of every meal the kids would set out every kind of yogurt they had in the fridge (full fat mostly), you picked your favorite one, and that was dessert. I like that idea, and still think that greek yogurt with honey and walnuts is the perfect ending to a meal.

However, at the brink of having a family I wonder if my plan of "fake" sweets will only create a tiny sugar addict. Or does have sugar around and not a forbidden treat create harmony?Htown Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509112471307481259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405293663425061257.post-34189396974487214482011-04-07T18:42:03.312-07:002011-04-07T18:42:03.312-07:00Oh ELizabeth, I can just hear her!Oh ELizabeth, I can just hear her!Erica Newhouse-Kasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553450155046334875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405293663425061257.post-88173596763062506302011-04-07T13:57:50.480-07:002011-04-07T13:57:50.480-07:00Erica is focused. And not on the candles.
A deli...Erica is focused. And not on the candles.<br /><br />A delightful story, about a delightful treat. My mom used to make me yogurt parfaits with wheat germ as well. She says she convinced me to eat them by casting the wheat germ as "Dad's special treat," and I had to "promise not to tell" that I'd been allowed a taste.<br /><br />Oh, how mothers scheme ...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03540489122311739368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405293663425061257.post-55145092512209042582011-04-07T12:38:53.664-07:002011-04-07T12:38:53.664-07:00sounds utterly delish!sounds utterly delish!Roxy Tehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612847869599572120noreply@blogger.com
