I come from a long line of people addicted to sweets. We have serious issues. Growing up, my Mom would have to hide the sweets in my house from my dad so he wouldn't eat them all. Usually he asked her to do this. Despite our sweet tooths, my family and I are fairly active. Both my parents have run marathons and are self-proclaimed gymrats. I believe it is due to our activity that we are not obese. I'm pretty sure that is the only reason I am not 300 pounds.
Now that I have a family of my own, and my children are keeping up the family tradition of sweet addiction, despite my husband's shocking disinterest in sweets, I am in charge of family nutrition as the planner, cook, and server of most meals in our house. I try to set limits for my kids and how many desserts they can have (truth be told, I let them eat less sweets than I do myself on occasion), but some days are better than others. I enjoy cooking and finding yummy recipes that I can modify to suit my taste for the day. I also enjoy eating out, especially at local places and especially when I have a coupon! I like deals, but am not obsessive. I won't spend hours and hours to scout out the best deals on everything or hours and hours in the kitchen to make the best recipes. If a recipe calls for too much work, I probably will find a different one. After all, I don't want to spend my whole life in the kitchen! Especially if I'm going to be blogging more...
I decided to start this blog to share recipes and stories about the sweeter things in life. I have started to test out desserts to see what my family and I like best. I think I have found a few staple recipes, but I have a lot left to find out. And my tastes may change!
So that's a bit about me and what I aim to do on this blog. So without further adieu... let's get started!
