anyone else not do desserts on a regular basis?

[kiskidee]

in fact i only do them for special meals. that is, if dh does it himself.

it is just us 2 and dd who is only 20 mos old. she gets them at nursery as a part of the meal everyday and i am not keen on the idea.

i would rather she not get them.

I find it hard enough to think up what to make for one course, let alone dessert as well!

Generally give fruit followed by a small amount of chocolate. Sometimes have ice cream or fresh fruit salad.

Sometimes buy cakes for me and dh to eat when the girls have gone to bed.

eh?

no

might have tea and scones etc

but the kids have to make their own cakes and so on

Ok, I do have to admit that given the choice between fruit salad and chocolate cake mine would definitely choose the chocolate cake! Or maybe both but not just the fruit. But the point is, they don't expect to be given chocolate cake every day.

(And DH has a stash of chocolate bars he saves for when the kids are in bed!)

Fruit and yogurt after meals, sometimes a biscuit or cake after that if I have been baking - but onll once or twice a week - more liikely to have the biscuit when they come in from school actually, or maybe toast. They know there will be no yog unless main course is eaten, anmd I usually insist on fruit first too. I do icecream sometimes if they have friends home for tea, and will always make a pudding for a dinner party, or if we have friends round for Sunday lunch

DS gets puds at nursery - I dont' mind one bit. Sweet things have their place and I grew up with good old fashioned puds, crumbles, rolypoly, tarts etc and still havn't a sweet tooth.

Actually I'd far rather he had a crumble or a fruit tart or flapjack bake than he went hungry.

Not sure about making puds out to be something 'naughty' or a special treat. They are just part of the meal, sometimes at home DS gets pudding first, sometimes he skips it entirely. He does like sweet things but he alos loves steamed veg, toast, scrambled egg and cheese.

Yogurts often have as much suger in them as a 'pudding' btw. Plus fruit is a sweet thing and a piece of fruit can give just as much of a suger high as as sweetie- yes it has a higher concentration of vitamins and no fat in it but kids do need some fat!

Dd routinely refuses pudding and fruit at nursery. Neither dh nor I are sweet tooths and it seems neither is dd. We almost never prepare pudding.

but lots of chocs and biccies around the house - we don't refuse if dd asks, unless she has eaten too much.

I don't do steamed puddings or cakes as DH and I don't have a sweet tooth. If they are on the menu when out for dinner I will occasionally skip a starter and have a pud. I do like mum's apple pie and plum crumble.
I think if they are home baked, they are much better than a yoghurt, chocolate mousse or icecream stuffed full of XYZ.

DD prefers fruit to any other dessert.
My little fruitbat.

god no, I might offer yoghurt if I remember they can have fruit any time they like
I might make a rice pudding on Sunday
if I'm feeling festive

Fruit and yoghurt mainly.

Love making puddings though, and as I do it so rarely it always feels like a proper Occasion.

no desserts here although recently my fat fucker dh has took to having ice cream every eening - i dont know why. kids think its fuckin xmas every day.

i avent anymore energy than to scoopsmething pre made out of a plastic container

Just fruit.

Sometimes biscuits if they're in the house.
