My Fourth of July was pretty fun, despite the rain. The only disappointment was not seeing fireworks. Oh, and I didn’t get to share the fruit tart because I forgot the pudding had to refrigerate overnight… But I enjoyed it for breakfast this morning! Starting the weekend with dessert is always a good idea. Speaking of sweets, I came across five sugary summer recipes that could seriously sabotage my diet.
