Delicious. Who knew?
Do you have any idea how delicious fruit is?
I really had no idea. I picked up some pre-washed, pre-cut strawberries, pineapple and kiwi on a whim at the grocery store the other day and I was blown away by how much I enjoyed it.
I snacked on it while I made dinner last night (Quick Fisherman's Stew) and it kept my hands and mouth too busy for me to bother pouring myself a glass of wine. No small feat.
And while I suddenly find fruit to be a surprisingly tasty snack, I still can't accept the idea of having it for dessert. Even fruity pies are suspect. I am unwavering in my belief that dessert should be chocolaty (and preferably gooey).
So you can imaging my delight when I came across a Chocolate Fondue recipe this afternoon. It meets all the criteria for an indulgent little weekend reward: It's chocolaty! It's gooey! It includes my new BFF, fruit! And you can spike it with amaretto, brandy or rum!
Each tablespoon has 64 calories, 6 grams of fat, 4 grams of carbs and a gram of fibre, which makes it a reasonable weekend treat to reward another successful week of healthy living with Boot Camp.
How will you reward yourself this weekend?
