#129 - Dessert Is Not a Bad Thing - How the French and Belgians do Desserts and What to Make at Home

Today I want to talk about desserts, and how it's not necessarily bad to have dessert, even if you have it quite regularly. I was recently talking to my mom-in-law who's visiting from Belgium, and she was telling us how in Belgium people often eat dessert every night.  Most nights they have a three-course dinner, usually starting with soup, then having the main, and then a dessert. It's expected that there's dessert every night. I think this is a good thing because it's a much healthier version of a dessert. It's not some highly processed, white flour thing - it's made using natural ingredients like fruit. The spices that are in it are good for the blood sugar, and it's seen as part of the meal. I wanted to talk about that a little bit, and tell you more about what they do, and about why having dessert is not a bad thing.
