My New Favorite Treat!

As a way of avoiding eating excess carbs, anything with a decent amount of sugar is out of the question. For some low carb eaters, this isn't a problem; however, for me, it most certainly is an issue. I love sweets! If I could eat dessert with every meal (and stay healthy), then I would in a heartbeat. Thankfully there are low carb alternatives to the regular sweet treats out there, and they are delicious! One that I stumbled upon recently... Low Carb Snickerdoodles!
