The holiday season is a time of sharing and sometimes, over-indulging. Perhaps the one thing almost everyone enjoys is the abundance of desserts that go with every gathering. For diabetics, it has become either abstention or non-participation if that feast is not tailored to their diet. Well, that time is long past. Allow us to cater your sweet tooth while offering healthy dessert options for the whole family. While turning to sugar substitutes as a flavoring alternative, we also use other natural flavors such as vanilla and coffee. Fruits are also a great way to boost dessert flavors. Save the sweet side of life over the holidays. Have a merry Christmas! » Continue Reading
