I love sweets! I could eat dessert every night–but my body doesn’t always agree. Dealing with PCOS I really have to think about how I eat sweets, when I eat them, and honestly it all just comes down to moderation. One thing that has been such a blessing is the ability to bake with almond flour. Coconut flour is also a beautiful thing too!
