Now that the holidays are over, is anyone else still craving sweets or has your craving diminished? I want peach cobbler and molten chocolate cake. I guess I've moved on to non-holiday sweets...
Also if you have one, please post a "healthy"or "healthier" dessert recipe! :-)
Re: Craving sweets?
This Grand Marnier Meringue Torte looks delicious...

I ALWAYS crave sweets. I have a bag of homemade PB chocolate chip cookies I made over the weekend screaming my name.
WW has a "recipe" (if you could call it that) of taking chocolate graham crackers and making ice cream sandwiches with them using cool whip. Just wrap them up in cling wrap and freeze them before you eat one. They are VERY tasty!
LOL. I hear you - it's a hard concept to grasp. I love Cooking Light Mag's entrees and sides, and am going to start trying some of the desserts to see if they actually do taste great. Here's another interesting one:

I haven't been craving sweets like I normally do since I've been pg... but last night I did suddenly want some blondies. They were delicious!
As far as a healthy dessert, I usually just make the desserts full-fat, eat a small amount, and give the rest away! Tastes better, but you don't have it sitting around to keep eating over and over!
I'm actually not, which is surprising...but since I've been pg I haven't been eating as much period, also a surprise! I am seriously craving FRUIT though, I hate that it's so dang expensive in January! Here is a peach cobbler recipe I found on recipezaar, not sure how good it is...
