Do you have dessert every day or often after your meal?

I’ve been reading posts/comments that some of you have dessert regularly. I’m curious about this because I was raised that we only had dessert on special occasions

Just curious! Not judging

Growing up, we did not have dessert regularly after a meal. We would have fruit at the end of supper. But as kids we would get a sweet snack before bed.

As an adult, I have continued the practice of fruit at the end of the meal. I did spend many years snacking on sweets during the day, but I severely cut back because I do not want to become diabetic.

Nowadays, I limit myself to a small treat on Saturday and Sunday, and none for the rest of the week, unless it is a special occasion or we have dinner guests.
