Guilty Pleasures... Homestead Style!

@borrowedearth challenged fellow Steemians to post about something that you consider to be a Guilty Pleasure... Especially if it is something that didn't used to bring about that "guilty" feeling.

Being a homesteader and growing most of our own food, I cook from scratch almost always. The guilty pleasure is all the desserts I make.

For baking I use millet flour and LOTS of eggs to get a cake like texture. For puddings and cream things I use raw milk and we make raw butter. Most use little or no sweeteners, except the jelly.

Here are my guilty pleasures:

Sweet apparently was the perfect word to use when answering you comment with this link!

Anytime you have any of that Blueberry Shortcake left give me a shout!! Yum!!!

Have you ever tried a lil cinnamon or ginger or clove in the whipped cream? Worth a try if you haven't!

No, I've only done lots of vanilla. The ginger and cinnamon sound really good! Thanks for the tip!
