ok. i'll admit it. clearly, i'm partial to sweets. my husband thinks sugar is the devil. i think he's crazy.
but obviously, man cannot live on sugar alone (bummer), so i'll certainly share some delicious recipes filled with protein and vegetables. here's one of my favorites, and a recent one in my mental recipe box. it's adapted from this recipe, and is just as delicious as it is easy. so get in some good omega-3 fish oils, eat your veggies and then we can talk about dessert.
