If you’re anything like me (and thousands of other people), your whole life comes to a screeching halt at the mere mention of a chocolate cake, key lime pie or a chocolate chip cookie.

Yes, I love me a delicious dessert every now and again, but I know that in order to maintain my 30 pound weight loss and continue to enjoy life in a healthy body, it’s just not something I can do on a regular basis. (Bummer!)

So I’ve come up with a few strategies that help me curb my nasty sweet tooth when it rears its ugly head…baked apples with cinnamon in the oven, herbal tea sweetened with stevia, or fruit salad with a little raw honey drizzled on top.

But sometimes these just don’t cut it for some people. They’re looking for a yummy piece of cake or cookie or brownie. Is there any way to have that and still keep it healthy?

I decided to do a little research and figure out some good ways to bake and create some healthy and delicious desserts without all of the usual sugar and flour that goes into making most of them.

I was so excited to share these recipes with you today that I haven’t gotten the chance to try them out myself yet (but now you know what I will be doing this weekend).

Give some of these a try and then be sure to email me so we can compare notes. I’m also going to ask my husband to give me his honest opinion on them (Poor guy, he will be sampling desserts all weekend, don’t you feel bad for him?)

DSP Brownies

Chocolate Cookies

Strawberry Shortcake

Please remember that even though these desserts are far better than most store bought or bakery treats, they should still be eaten in moderation. One piece or treat 1-2 times per week is enough to satisfy anybody’s sweet craving and will not deter you from continuing to achieve your weight loss and health goals.

Ok, now I’m off to bake. Happy baking and have a great weekend!

In health and happiness,
