Got a sweet tooth?
It’s okay to indulge if you eat healthfully most of the time! My blog used to be called “Sweet Foodie” because I’ve always loved baking and sharing treats with people I care about (and because of the song Sweet Caroline, too). Whichever treat you choose to eat, mindfully enjoy each one of those decadent bites (guilt-free)!
