Tiffany Tastes

Healthy Sweets

Most people who know me understand that I love sweets.  My dad did a lot of baking when I was growing up, and dessert was a mainstay at my house.  I'm ambivalent about a steak, but I'll knock a sucker out for a brownie.  In my quest to lose a few pounds and live an overall healthier lifestyle, I've found many low-fat, store bought sweets to be lacking.  Sadly, there aren't many options for people who want tasty sweets that won't pad your hips. 

I was perusing the Fresh Market near my job when I ran across a new line of frozen treats from a company called Wine Cellar Sorbet.  Now, I love wine and I love sorbet. Win-win! Score!  I picked up a pint of Sangria sorbet and took it home to enjoy.  Let me tell you, it was worth every penny of the $5.99 price tag.  Tangy, sweet, and super refreshing, it was difficult to stop after only three spoonfuls.

With flavors like sake, mimosa, ruby port and pinot noir, there is an option for every type of wine connoisseur.  It's fat-free and low calorie, so it's also a good choice for those of us who are watching our figure.  I can't wait to try some of the other flavors.

A ShoutOut...Cupcake Love

Now that I'm trying to become a slimmer Tiffany, I've had to cut out some of my most favorite, delicious things, including my regular treks to Muddy's Bake Shop in East Memphis.  Now, for those of you who have never been, you're missing out on a treat.  Muddy's serves up the most delicious cupcakes, cookies, and puddings in town.  They are so delicious that I used to stop in and grab a couple for my friends as gifts (and of course, since I was already there, I got a few for myself as well :P)

This isn't a regular review, but rather, a shout out; a plea from me to you to go out and grab some Muddy's.  Bring cookies to your next office party or take some pudding to a potluck or order some cupcakes to make a birthday celebration extra special.  Their cupcakes are just like grandma used to make. Try some now!  Now that I will be making fewer trips, you should pick up my slack.  Grab a Frankly Scarlett (Red Velvet Cake) or a Snickerdoodle cupcake. Those are my personal favorites.  And the Oreo pudding is to die for.  Everything is delicious.  You won't be sorry :)
