Desserts…the finale of the tastes from appetizers and main course! They can be as simple as a piece of fruit or as extravagant as a $25,000 dollar chocolate sundae. Little puffs of sweetness to the tart and tanginess. Each creation mean to delight the eyes and the tastebuds Most of what you will see here are those that are a little more complex and a lot less on the extravagant side. No matter which recipe you try, you’ll enjoy the results.
As you’ll discover, strawberries are my favorite fruit. I love Strawberry Shortcake. Because of my love for strawberries, the tartness of the strawberries and the sweetness from the whipped cream along with the sponginess of the shortcake makes me drool. My birthday is in the Spring so strawberries were always available. I included my very favorite strawberry shortcake recipe.

Desserts are most everyone’s favorite food. There is a wide variety of sweet and savory desserts to be had. They come from all over the world. Desserts are so widely beloved that they are one of the reasons that some diets fail. On most recipes the substitution of a “diet” sugar makes each dessert a little more friendly to diabetics as well as those who counting calories. For baking make sure to read the label on the substitute sugar to make sure it is good for baking.
