Treat Day

Someone asked me the other day, "So you don't have pudding every day?" No, we don't. My children love treats and sweets so much partially because they are not given them often. Fresh fruit for snacks on normal days, and a special dessert on Friday and Saturday. This means ice cream (our version) is only in limited amounts, and enjoyed so much more.  Sometimes a little sweet on top or on the side makes it even better. These pictures show the kids in pajamas enjoying homemade coconut milk ice cream with berry sauce (cook frozen berries on stove with a bit of maple syrup to sweeten, pour over top, and YUMMY!) although I am not against sugar, some of us are more sugar sensitive than others, and I enjoy finding things that are sweetened just with maple syrup or fruit. No hyperactivity, and lots of happiness.
