Take your favorite desserts to the next level with a drizzle of maple caramelized figs as a deliciously sweet an heavenly indulging topping! Maple Caramelized Figs | Garden in the Kitchen As much as I love to emphasize on the importance of eating healthy and being mindfully selective about the foods you eat –>>(SUPER important!), this time you will hear me talk about the elephant in the room…

Sugar. Sweets. Finger licking foods!

The reason why I decided to bring this up is simple. These foods do exist, they are a big part of our lives, surrounding, culture, diet and oh yeah… they are delicious too! Now, how big are sweets part of your life is really only up to you to decide but if you want to hear what I think and what has worked for me… here are my two cents; Sometimes we must allow room for guilty pleasures where otherwise if kept unfulfilled, would create negative energy around said pleasure and negative energy is more deadly then sugar! …this, followed by honesty which is another super important component! Once you decide on what works for you (amount, portion, special occasion, day of the week), just be honest with yourself while keeping track, but DO enjoy while you are at it.
