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.

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 have 3 shares of chocolates and i rarely finish a share, so my sister asked me to give the other 2 shares (of 6 small squares) to both of them with my son. i did that last night. so now, my sister can open another bar of white or dark chocolates.
