My Sweet Beliefs

Hello Sweeties,

I would like to start with thanking you for reading my blog. Eating is a distinct passion of Italians, and in my family this is no exception. At every family occasion, a crazy amount of food is always served (I'm talking about a three or four course meal), and of course dessert! My mother and all of my zie (more commonly known as aunts) all love to bake, leading it to be almost impossible for me to avoid any chance of after-dinner temptations.

I have always been very active growing up and still love to keep fit. However, my weakness is definitely my sweet tooth and my inability to pass up any kind of sweet treat! So this is my perspective, if you work hard all week or you've had a long day, why not treat yourself with something sweet?! I am now becoming very interested in finding alternatives to help my sweet tooth without feeling guilty and over indulging. My recipes will involve a healthy spin to all types of dessert. I love trying to stay healthy, so I hope to motivate all of you to be healthy too with a little sweet cheat.

I am very excited to share with all of you some traditional desserts and some go to alternatives for those of you, like me, who cannot pass up sweets. Each week I will introduce a new sweet to help with those cravings because we deserve to treat ourselves… well, every once in a while.
