HISTORY OF MY DISH
I love snacking, especially when it comes to something sweet. Who doesn’t love chocolate? Since I started investing in my health and fitness, I explored healthier options to satisfy my sweet tooth … When you educate yourself, it is much easier to find healthy alternatives to those guilty pleasures. FoodiesofSA shared this delectable recipe which I just made a bit healthier using a few substitutions that contain less sugar.

MY APPROACH TO COOKING/FOOD
I love baking and cooking for people close to me. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing someone enjoy something you prepared for them. Being in the kitchen is therapeutic. For me, capturing moments and making memories always involve food. Food resembles love, happiness, and laughter and belongs on a dinner table surrounded by family and friends.
