Where my sweet (dessert) spot is

I’m in Nevada this week for Burning Man!  While I dance my butt off in the heat, I long for cool, sweet indulgences.  As I daydream, hopefully I can vicariously live through you after I tell you where the best sweet spot is!

It’s not often that I feel the need to review or even mention a dessert spot, as I am not a fan of sugar or processed food.  However,

I’ve discovered perfection!

Joe and I love to break away from our day and go out for a long stroll and enjoy a sweet snack.  Yet it’s rare that we do so anymore, as we don’t seem to have many options.  There certainly are not an abundance of ice cream shops or places to get a desert that don’t load up on sugar. …

Last week, Joe and I went to Gracias Madre (a Vegan Mexican Restaurant) in San Francisco, and something very rare happened.

I used to be a huge fan of dessert after dinner.  Since I’ve decided to quit sugar, the desire to even view the dessert menu has completely disappeared.  I feel so much more clear, and energetic now that I’ve ditched the sugar.  There are so many very apparent benefits, that I’ll be revealing all in a later article.  Even though I wasn’t keen on ordering dessert, I was sent a message from the dessert Gods that I should inquire about the selection at Gracias Madre.  …
