I am a dessert girl. I mean, I love, love, love to have a little somethin at the end of the day. Or the middle of the day. Or, like, an hour after dinner. Or, really, any time. A handful of cookies, bowl of ice cream, mmmmmmmmmmmmbrowniemmmmm. And, fo r me, it's not just the sweetness, it's the ceremony. Putting it together, settling down to watch something while I eat it. Like tonight, when I'm dragging myself through one of the final episodes of Lost. Seriously, I'm beginning to not care if any of them ever get off the island. But, on to snack time...
So, my absolute FAVORITE --shall we say-- sensible dessert is what I call the Triple-Delight:
1. Chocolate pudding (Jell-O Fat Free, sugar-free...etc.)
2. 1/4 cup Honey-Nut Cheerios
3. 1 cup sliced fruit (bananas, strawberries, blackberries OR a combo! yum!)
(I don't have an exact calorie count--the proof of that would be in the puddin'), but I'd say easily under 200.
Now, once again...it's the sweet and the ceremony. I love this because I putter around the kitchen for a few mintues, getting it all nice and arranged on a plate. Then, this isn't something to be just gulped right down. You can't eat and enjoy it standing. I really like to do a whole thing where I dip a fork in the pudding, then into the Cheerios, then stab a piece of fruit, and eat it all together. Great mix of textures, three levels of sweetness. It's savored and enjoyed.
Enjoy!
