Sweet Tooth
My homemade Crepe with strawberry, banana and pecan filling
I've never had a sweet tooth. Dessert isn't my favorite part of a meal and I've always been just happy with coffee and tea, unsweetened.
But lately I have been craving for anything sweet. I ask myself, "have I over-deprived myself of carbs that my body is missing sugar?" I'm sure this isn't the case since I haven't changed my diet, and in fact, I have been eating white rice instead of brown for maybe about 2 months now!
I guess it started after my successful attempt at apple strudels. I had two servings of apple and peach cobbler at a picnic last weekend, with two scoops of ice cream on top of that. I had two jumbo cupcakes at work. My colleague brought two different kinds and I made the mistake of trying both--they were so good I couldn't stop eating them!
Every night since last weekend, I've had crepe after dinner! I've always loved crepes and now I make them in my own kitchen--everything from scratch, including of course the pancake/wrapper. I loved making crepe, flipping it and tossing it in the air. Oh, that was so much fun!
Today, while driving home from work, all I could think of was chocolate brownies. Good thing there wasn't a lot of time to even make dinner, so I had to put aside the brownies. Until next time.

yumminess liz... and oh i love crepes myself, pancakes/waffles/crepes --- my girls fave --- sige lang liz, after awhile mawa na ng sweet tooth, at least we don't deprive ourselves from cravings or else we end up eating 2-3x serving size by then --- now that's hard calories to get rid off =)

Cinds, I love food too much I can never deprive myself of cravings. I think I can do better at cutting down the portions though, but never deprive. Yeah, I hope the sweet tooth will soon go away. Sweet is bad for me. Diabetes runs in our blood.
oh Liz, dont get used to it..count yourself lucky that you do not crave for the sweets...you know when i lived in the phils, i never craved for sweet food, i was more of a savoury person, now, because its easier to get a cake or chocolate here, my palate has changed.. dont get yourself used to craving sweets, trust me, its not nice, indulge once in a while but coming from a sweet-dependent, its not healthy,haha;-)
