Just a note about desserts - I'm a sugar addict.  I'm trying to recover from not only an illness, but also an addiction to the sugar brought on by the standard American diet.  I am using desserts as a way to keep my mind from wanting to cheat - if I limit my fruit intake throughout the day, I can indulge in something sweet at the end of the day.  Usually fruit, but sometimes something rather sweet - like ice cream :)

I had a rough bout of brain fog this weekend.  It kept me from being even half as productive as I'd hoped.  So... I still have to figure out the rest of the week.  These are the very symptoms of my autoimmune disease that I'm hoping to combat through my food.  This is what will keep me going.
