Oh, the French

The mille-feuille (thousand sheets) is a pastry originating in France. Traditionally is made up of three layers of puff pastry, and two layers of creme patissiere. The top layer is coated with a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

Lemon Mousse.

Almond French Pastry. (Almond miniature cake.)

Macarons. A macaron is a sweet meringue-based confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, almond powder, and food colouring. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth.

French Buttery Flaky Croissant, named for its versatile shape. Crisp buttery outer layers and a soft interior make croissants melt in your mouth.

Tarte aux Myrtilles. (Blueberry Tart.)

Blueberries are by far my most favourite berries. I love their blue colour, their tiny size, and their great taste. There's definitely something about them that really appeals to me.
Ooh, la la! French desserts are just irresistible!

Well, I had such a sweet tooth, but about five years ago that changed drastically. That said I still crave a little something sweet, every now and then.
It is hard for many of us to envision a life without sugar of any kind. (Good for the people who can eat desserts and stop at one.)
I have to admit that I do not consider myself to have amazing self-control powers when it comes to eating, but I am very strong about not indulging in desserts, particularly after lunch.
Remember, self-discipline, my friends! It takes real effort and self-control, but the reward can last a lifetime.

No, I'm definitely not addicted to sweets. But every now and then, a girl deserves a little treat, right?

Do you like desserts? What is your favourite dessert? Can you resist sweets? xx
