Oh my, yes! We have something sweet after dinner, I'm always making cookies, or cake, etc. DH even has his stash of cinnamon jelly beans.

I grew up with dessert always offered, even if it was just a bowl of applesauce. Now I'm not so keen on sweets and desserts, but I do snack (too much).

I grew up with desserts not an everyday event. I do love sweets, but not necessarily daily and not necessarily after dinner.
Love love love Blue Bell ice cream, in a bowl with Cool Whip or whip cream, on a slice of warm pie, on a cone, in an ice cream soda.

I rarely eat dessert, not even when eating out - I'm too full after a restaurant meal for anything more.

I do bake, but for guests, or I'll make a dessert to take if we're invited to dinner someplace. We're eating at family members house this evening and I'll take a lemon cream pie with gingersnap crust, lemon a fav in that household - I might have some, or might not. There is regularly a pretty clear candy jar with Costco jelly belly candy in it on my counter - I'm surprised how many men dip in when in my kitchen.

I do keep a good ice cream in the freezer, usually Haagen Daz but days will go by without either of us having any. I like an ice cream float, Haagen Daz and ginger ale or pepsi once in a while in summer.

I grew up with desserts too, but since limiting my carbs quite a few years ago, the sweetest thing I eat is fresh fruit. Sometimes my "dessert" is a handful of nuts. Usually it's nothing at all. Definitely no dessert in restaurants.

No we don't eat dessert even when eating out, we just get our meal. I don't like cookies and cake but do enjoy a piece of good pie on occasion.

No, I rarely eat dessert.

I love sweets, but I rarely have dessert. It's more likely that I will indulge my sweet tooth in the morning or as an afternoon snack. We never had dessert growing up. That's not to say we didn't have sweets in the house because we did, but they weren't offered as the end to dinner.

I love desserts but never have them. Passing up on dessert is an easy way to save calories and cut down on dental costs at the same time.

we eat at 5ish, so around 7, dh and I have a skinny cow, or fruit frozen pop...our big treat is diet a&w with sugar free ice cream...it's soooo good!

Yes - I eat sweets and too many, at that. Life's so short - I eat dessert first!

I like to bake, but can't eat the results. I'm so glad that I don't have a craving! I'll make something special when we have company, or a batch of cookies or gingerbread to take to neighbors. Robert takes homemade cupcakes to work sometimes.

A helping of Greek yogurt and some fresh or frozen fruit serves the purpose if I feel hungry before bed.

Susan....I sure do remember root beer floats! We would get a jug of
A&W for the event. I also remember my mother freezing cherries (from our trees) in a sugary syrup, so good alone or over ice cream. She'd also make melon balls from honeydews and canteloupe, then freeze them in ginger ale. Boy, did that ever taste good on a hot summer day.

I did not grow up with deserts, we had fruit available if we wanted it. My mom was not much into pies and cakes and cookies etc.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth, hubby does. If it is for a special occasion that we are out eating at a restaurant we do sometimes splurge. He used to like some ice cream at home after dinner. But on the low carb real food the sweets are limited as well as the carbs so not so much any more.
We do still have some fruit however.

When I was growing up we had dessert only on Sundays, after dinner, which was noonish. In the summer time we often made ice cream, in a hand cranked churn, any day, in the evening.

After I was married, we had dessert after each evening meal. My DH and I both liked sweets.

Cute story: when our DD was about 5 years old, we had moved to another state and were home visiting my parents. After dinner (it wasn't a Sunday) she lingered at the table and after a few minutes she looked around and said "What's for dessert?" That brought a laugh from everybody, but still no dessert!

I still have a sweet tooth, and have something sweet any time I want it. Actually, right now I am wearing a white sweat shirt that says on the front "I want it all, but I'd settle for some
CHOCOLATE'"

I bake a lot and have desserts around, but don't each much of it. I don't have the sweet tooth my husband has. We had desserts but I don't think on a regular basis when I was growing up, my Mother was a great cook and baked lots of pies. She also was famous for her noodles.

My mother made a homemade dessert every single day of the week, pies, cakes, puddings, parfaits, sticky buns..plus always icecream in the freezer.

I eat no desserts except sometimes a small ice cream cone. I will be having dessert tho for the next three weeks because I will bake a chocolate cake for daughter's b-day, she'll be baking one for my grandson's b-day and a week later my b-day. I always ask for angel food with whipped cream and strawberries. I don't like rich food.

Nope, desserts don't interest me at all; except for a good pie.

When our former landlady and our friend were fixing up the apartment for us to live in, I had then in regularly for meals. Our friend has a real sweet tooth, and even the landlady said that dinner isn't complete without dessert. I worried more over what to give them for dessert, than I did over the whole meal.

I'll make cake, pie, muffins, cookies, etc etc, but eat little. They do freeze though, for that urge.

DH must have a dessert.
So, unfortunately, HE has dessert and if it's good...I have some too.

In our home, hubby has the sweet tooth. Not me.

I love to bake & he loves to eat so it works out real good.

We also only had dessert on sundays when we were growing up.

We both have a sweet tooth,dh more so than i.Funny thing is before he quit smoking over 14 years ago he never ate anything sweet,now he can't get enough.Of course he's one of the lucky ones that could eat a whole cake or pie and never gain an ounce,he still weighs 168.

Me I look at it and gain weight.I don't eat very many sweets now as I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes,so I can only have things in moderation.

I used to be an ice cream fanatic,had it almost every night,a 1/2 gallon would last me 3 days,4 tops.Now I don't even buy 1/2 gallons.So I just buy pints or those little single servings that dreyers came out with,and I don't even eat it once a week now.It took a lot of discipline on my part,but I made it.

Since my diagnoses last feb.,I have lost 53 lbs,and feel and move so much better.
