Us girls love dessert, we just do. There’s no way around it. [I’m smiling like a little kid right now just thinking about peanut butter fudge and homemade cheesecake.]
Think about it.
We eat chocolate when we’re happy, when we’re upset, and when we’re furious. Sometimes even when we’re bored.
We eat way too much candy and chocolate on Valentines Day. More than we can eat. But that’s not our fault… I blame the men in our lives.
We sit on the couch pigging out on ice cream crying over that boy who just didn’t know what was best for them (ourselves, obviously).
And c’mon, studies have shown that dark chocolate is GOOD for the body! We don’t really have a choice in the matter but to eat some, now that the professionals are involved.
There’s even an article stating that eating chocolate helps you stay thin! Is that not enough convincing?!
Before I start continue rambling, which I could easily do all day and all night, (I mean we’re talking about CHOCOLATE here), I present you with some of my favorite desserts. This is not an inclusive list by all means, but a mere glimpse into my dessert wonderland…
Enjoy. And don’t salivate over the screen too much.

Beautiful Blog and pics! I'm looking forward to see the rest of your A – Z's. Those Macaroons are gorgeous! Oh, and by the way: According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the higher a country's chocolate consumption, the more Nobel laureates it spawns per capita…
Thanks for your kind words! My husband always gets mad that he has to wait a minute or so before we eat so I can snap a pic! And that's so interesting about what the journal says! Who knew!?
You have a fanTASTIC blog! And this post was especially yummy 🙂 Looking forward to more posts for sure!!
Thanks so much! Def a labor of love! I'll be adding more foodie posts- be on the lookout for them!
The dessert that sticks in my mind was the first time I ate a chocolate ganache cake concoction at Just Desserts in San Francisco. OMG! And that was back in the late 70s. LOLYou can find me doing the Ato Z at either of these places:Take 25 to HollisterDon't be a Hippie
Wow! You must have really really loved it! 🙂 I'm actually going to San Fran in July, I'll have to find that place! 🙂
The s'mores! The brownie batter! The raspberry-banana brownie thing! It all looks SO GOOD! It's true that we do some of our best eating while traveling. Thanks for your comments this morning!
It's so true! I feel that local food (and sweets) really enhances any experience for me!
Those all looked delicious! I have such a sweet tooth! I am a huge fan of milkshakes. I am not even biased about where they come from, I just love milkshakes!
Try a milk shake from shake shack, they are delicious! Oh, and the burgers aren't bad either 😉
You've made me hungry !
That was my plan (mwahahaha). Lol. Go on, have a cupcake, it won't hurt you! 🙂
Aren't macarons the cutest? They look like colourful little hamburgers. I tasted my first one at Ladurée on rue Royale – we tried a sampler of four different flavours. (Try to guess my topic for letter "M".)Faye at Destination: Fiction
I know I just love them so much! They are so super cute! Can't wait to eat some soon, hopefully!
How delectable are all those yummies?! I'm not sure it's gender specific but happy to accept that women have a special fondness for such tasty treats.Pauleen @ <a href="http://troppont.wordpress.comhttp://troppont.wordpress.com<br />A to Z 2013
Good point- my husband probably likes sweets just as much as I do! Thanks for stopping by!
