Out of Curiosity.....WHO makes/Has a Dessert

[Poohbear123]

for EVERY meal? Just wondering, we would have a Weekend Dessert growing UP, but nothing during the week.

We do! We usually have something, even if it is just cookies. My son likes strange things for dessert-bagel, potato chips and other snacky foods.

Nope... but I will have a cup of hot chocolate or tea or the like if I am looking for a "sweet" taste after dinner.

We do and it can be anything from sugar free Jello to chocolate cheesecake. In the summer, it's mostly fruits or water ice, in the winter it's usually something rich or baked like cookies or pie. Tonight it's corn bread!

I have to have to have a sweet treat everyday or I'll over eat! It can be as little as one Peppermint Pattie, but it has to be something!

Oh yeah! In the summer there's lemon meringue pie, strawberry pie, key lime pie and peach crumb pie and strawberry shortcake too!

Dinner isn't over until I have dessert. I'll have ice cream, cookies, fruit, pudding or some other sweet. Ice cream was most common when I was growing up.

 

[Poohbear123]

I am spending the Summer with YOU! LOL!

 

[Jeafl]

I only make dessert when we have company for dinner. Occasionally, the DH and kids will have some ice cream later in the evening. I rarely eat dessert at home.

Not unless we're having company, then I'll bake something yummy like pie or cheesecake.

Saffron, what's water ice? That sounds like regular old ice to me, and I've never considered that desert.

 

[caitycaity]

we did when i was growing up, usually jello or pudding. i don't make dessert for me and dh that often now though.

We don't but there is always things around here to eat that is sweet if they want them. We buy the quick bake Cookies that are already cut and all you have to do is pop them in the oven for 10 minutes. We usually have Ice Cream or Nutty Bars or other Little Debbie snacks. There is yogurt in the fridge...and for me there is Fat-Free Sugar-Free Homemade Vanilla Yogurt in the freezer.

So while there isn't a set dessert, there are always sweets.

 

[Saffron]

LOL Pooh! Is it Summer yet?

Kermit -- I guess in other parts of the country it's called shaved ice?? Here in the Philadelphia area it's made by blending real fruit, water and juice into a slushie type of concoction that you eat with a spoon. Yeah, you're right, ice water doesn't sound like a very satisfying dessert.

 

[disykat]

Usually only on special occasions and when we have company. My kids always seem to have candy around (the latest is from Valentine's Day) so sometimes they have a piece of that after dinner. If one of us has a craving sometimes we'll make brownies or get some ice cream for a treat.

Dh grew up with dessert every night. I grew up with Saturday night ice cream and desserts on holidays etc.
