I confess to having a very well-developed sweet tooth. My mother must have had one, too. When she was preparing for dinner guests, she often started by planning the dessert first. She wanted them to always leave with the taste of something wonderful lingering. With that in mind, here is a tempting, mouth-watering sampling of desserts I’ve “had a few bites of” since Valentine’s Day.
A “Brookie” — combination chocolate chip cookie and brownie with vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and chocolate syrup at Bluegill Restaurant on the Mobile Causeway in Spanish Fort, AL.
Key lime curd at Sunset Pointe in Fairhope, AL.
Coconut bread pudding at Fisher’s Dockside at the Orange Beach Marina, Orange Beach, AL
Key lime pie made in-house by Chef Mike at the Beach House Kitchen in Gulf Shores, AL.
Cracker crumb derby pie at Fisher’s Dockside at the Orange Beach Marina in Orange Beach, AL.
Smores cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory in Franklin, TN — a birthday treat for Granddaughter Rosemary and her doll Samantha.
Chocolate ganache cake at Mona Lisa Bistro in Falkville, AL.
Never fear. All of these were shared and not consumed by one person or at one sitting.
YUM!!! That Key Lime curd looks especially delicious!
It was. I assure you.
Love these virtual desserts! I consumed them and didn’t gain an ounce!
Ha! Good for you. Me? Well, let’s just say I have a date with our elliptical.
