During winter, it’s not uncommon to crave a sweet and warming dessert to finish off the day. Many of us view this as ‘naughty’ or a ‘slip up’ but this couldn’t be further from the truth!

Dessert can fit into a healthy routine, including when weight loss or weight maintenance is a goal. Specifically, when our day to day eating, what I like to refer to as, a ‘food foundation’ is healthy and well balanced, including a dessert every so often is not going to upset the balance or negatively impact our achievements thus far. In fact, it can help us stay motivated and prevent us from over indulging when presented with a tempting treat due to feeling restricted by our diet.

If you are on the look out for a winter warming dessert, my gluten and dairy free bread and butter pudding from my Falling in Love with Food cookbook, will not disappoint! Enjoy!
