Good Eats & Drinks

Indulging my sweet tooth, or carb tooth, has been a struggle since high school. I like food. As my interest in cooking and baking grew I took more notice of what I was eating. What has truly helped me is preparing my own meals. It makes a huge difference in controlling what kinds of foods I eat and it's fun. Win win. 

However, you need to let loose occasionally and have that delicious looking ice cream sundae or that famous hamburger and fries. Everything in moderation, right? 

Here are some of my suggestions for indulging that sweet and/or savory tooth...
