One unfortunate truth that real foodies have to confront is that sugar isn't good for you. Knowing this means that most desserts -- homemade or store-bought -- are out, because most rely heavily on sugar for their flavor, namely white sugar. Most also have little fat and what's there is in the form of vegetable oils; they also use a lot of white flour.What's a person with a sweet tooth (which, let's face it, is everyone at some point!) to do? Avoiding dessert for the rest of your life just isn't feasible. Life without a treat now and then is dull and boring.But now...you can Treat Yourself again!Treat Yourself: Real Food Desserts is exactly what it sounds like. It's a book filled with delicious, sweet, tempting desserts -- which rely only on real food! They're full-fat, full flavor, and low-sugar.

In fact, they're all based on sprouted flour, soaked flour, or almond flour, if flour is used at all (yes, there are several grain-free and even GAPS-friendly treats!).When desserts are made with real food, you can have your cake and eat it too...without the guilt!For those who are on restricted diets like GAPS, there are several options for you, too.
