    Desserts and Sweets

    If you're looking for unusual desserts (and sweets), you've come to the right place! While we don't eat a lot of sweets, when we do, the calories have to count!

    My desserts will mostly be light (holiday exceptions), and they'll always be flavor bombs, because that's what I'm about. With a Latin-inspired focus, you're sure to find fruits, chocolate, spice, and loads of flavor! Spiced Tequila Poached Pears and Instant Pot Arroz con Dulce are delicious examples.
