National Dessert Day | Pad Patter 10.14

Dessert used to be my favorite meal of the day. For some reason, anything sweet upsets my stomach now, especially chocolate. Once in awhile, I'll have some Luigi's Mango Sorbet for dessert. That seems to agree with me, but i can't have that very often.

 

I love dessert. Literally all kinds!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the one I can't resist, if it's there I will eat every last bite, is ice cream. I can say no to a piece of cake, or pie, or cookies etc, but if there is ice cream in the house I have to have it!!!!

 

Yum! I'm a dessert Junkie! Haven't met one I didn't like! There are some I prefer over others tho- I'm a serious pie fan. I cannot have pie in our house & not eat it. I LOVE pumpkin, apple, berry, any fruit really & prefer those over the cream based, but it's the crust that gets me!

I prefer to wait a bit after a meal for dessert if I can. At Thanksgiving & Christmas (really any big family dinner) we all will go on a walk between dinner/dessert. It's nice to get fresh air & a bit of movement before the next gorging!

 

My favorite dessert is Tiramisu!

 

Oh man...I will eat just about any dessert as long as it isn't lemon....bah, I dislike lemon desserts...or foods for that matter. lol

 

Just about anything containing chocolate, except pudding. I just don't like pudding!

 

My favorite dessert is whichever one is in my belly. Today it's brownies leftover from yesterday as well as pumpkin bread I made and an apple cider filled donut. (all things eaten before noon and I don't feel guilty *but* I won't have dessert after dinner tonight. I celebrated early lol!)

 

I have to tell this funny story. We went to a neighborhood dinner party last week and there was a 90 year old man there. (He looked like he was about 75, but anyhoo) when I passed on the chocolate dessert, he asked me why. I told him I couldn't eat chocolate at all. He looked at me and said "if I couldn't eat chocolate every day, I might as well just die." I about lost it! Chocolate is supposed to be healthy - there's the proof.

 

I love cheesecake. I got to have a couple bites this past week for my sister's birthday.

I generally don't eat dessert, even when I'm not eating better, after dinner. My kids, especially my daughter, love to do this. I am trying to teach them that just because we HAVE treats to eat doesn't mean they HAVE to be eaten every day.

 

But I do usually bake them first so I am more like this:

 

No, I didn't know about the Duncan Hines Perfect Size for 1. It looks delicious. I Googled it and the Oatcups and Blueberry Muffin also look good.

Do you add drizzles and frosting to the cake?

 

Speaking of Duncan Hines, I remember when the Duncan Hines cake mix and pudding mix recipe baked in a Bundt pan was very delicious and very popular.
