Sweet ‘n Healthy
So what I do, is, I make totally delicious scrumpcious, delightful goodies with sweet alternatives, like the wonderful wonderful Splenda! I also do sugar free sweets, which doesn’t sound possible, but it really is. I mix chocolate in much of what I do, but I also like nature’s own sweet treat, fruits. Peaches and Cream is my favorite, could you guess?
I’m always thinking up new recipes to get my sweet fix without all the sweet calories, and so I’ve decided to start posting my sweets recipes right here, so other people can indulge like me without bloating up.
So, to start off, obviously, I must discuss my long time romance with peaches and cream. You’ve probaby guessed my real name isn’t peaches, but my parents and friends and everyone I know has called me peaches ever since I was four years old. Apparently I would demand peaches at every meal. I was a spoiled little kid and I’d yell “peaches!” at my mom whenever I ate, or pretty much wanted anything, so my mom just started calling me peaches. I loved the canned peaches, which often weren’t peaches but assorted fruit cups or pears, but I couldn’t tell the difference and everything was peaches to me. The cream was added later, and by my father.
Daddy wasn’t much of a sweets man, didn’t care for fruit, but he did like his milk products, and mom poured cream over almost anything she served him. In my never ending need to mimic/please my dad, I tried to pour cream into my fruit cup one day. I ended up with about three cups of cream and a half a cup of fruit, but it was wonderful. This was heading toward my gradeschool years. By the time I was in middle school I had some form of fruit and cream with pretty much every dinner, though I had to cut back on the portions in high school to keep that rail thin figure that seems to be demanded of the average 16 year old girl. So as you can see, it’s always been peaches and cream for me, and probably will be for quite some time, but I do like to add other fun sweet stuffs to my mix now and then, and thus the recipes.
