A dessert is defined as a sweet treat at the end of a meal. I love dessert! The sweet taste lingers in your mouth when taken in this manner, enough reason to eat it last. What is a sweet treat before a meal then? Or a sweet snack? They must just be good sweets. When taken before a meal, some say it digests better. Some say. For me though, I can eat some good sweets whenever I like, and feel good. As long as it's not too much, or too little :)
Some Good Sweet recipes:
