Our dessert was either fruit or nothing! Asians don't really eat sweets or desserts!
Sometimes we give fruit to Charlie and Olive, or a frozen yogurt tube. Sometimes they get ice cream too!
What about you?
-
Sometimes ice cream!
-
Just special occasions. My Mom isn't into sweets, so half the time she forgot to get us a birthday cake.
-
It was there, but it wasn't served.
Same with how we are, now. I'll let DS eat something sweet after he's eaten pretty good, but I don't serve it to him and DH after dinner. They help themselves if they want it.
-
Not every day... probably around once a week/once every two weeks?
My mom would bake cookies or Banana bread relatively often which we didn't eat after dinner but counts as desserts I guess.
-
Not very often!
-
Sometimes. We'd have a scoop of ice cream or a couple of cookies and milk. I remember this more from my teenage years though. I don't think we did a lot of dessert when I was younger.
-
Very rarely - only on special occasions... and even then it was icecream and was less served and more scooped out for us to watch during our 30 min TV time.
-
Fruit - pears or apples, usually for digestion.
-
She never formally served dessert but was often baking cookies so we had those fairly often growing up! I have fond memories of fresh baked cookies cooling on the counter.
-
Yeah, mostly fruits, rarely dessert unless we eat out.
-
Sometimes! It was pudding or Jell-o a lot. We always had fruit with dinner.
-
Always on our big Sunday dinners! I'm invisioning my mom's peach cobbler...I think I'm going to shoot her an email and ask her to maybe surprise me with it this weekend when I go back to stay for our school's alumni weekend
-
Most nights no. If we baked something or bought ice cream we would eat that after dinner. Usually "dessert" was eaten while we watched TV. Dinner was always in the dining room.
-
Growing up, no.
Now my mom keeps sweets in the house and Chloe thinks cake only comes from nanas house. She expects it after dinner now!
-
We never had desserts either. Fruits especially apples, Asian pears, grapes, bananas, and oranges were always available.
-
Not very often
-
Just fresh fruit and every so often ice cream
-
Almost never.
-
Sometimes, if we had it in the house. We usually were allowed a couple of cookies if we ate our dinner.
-
Mainly fruit as well, but occasionally, we'd get ice cream or some kind of bun if we went to the asian bakery!
-
My dad would cut up fruits and sometimes we would get ice cream.
-
we always ate fruit after meals.
-
We always had dessert of some sort. It was always limited to two though. As in you could have 2 cookies or 2 pieces of candy and that was it.
-
Only for special occasions/holidays in my family. My in-laws always have something for dessert!
-
Fruit after meals. We only had desserts for special occasions.
-
No, but my mom's mom always did at Sunday dinner! I always looked forward to that
-
Not really unless it was someone's birthday.
-
@Mrs. Bee: Same. Korean parents = fruit 99% of the time. Also we had really Korean snacks - steamed potatoes or sweet potatoes instead of popcorn or chips or cookies. Sometimes late at night if we were all watching TV we might get some ice cream as a late snack.
-
My parents were/are big sweets people, but my mom very rarely made dessert. Generally we had ice cream all the time, occasionally some other sort of cookies or something. We didn't eat dessert right after dinner, but every night while we were watching tv we had ice cream or cookies or hot chocolate or something.
-
We always had fruit for dessert.
-
My grandmother does!
-
Not growing up. We have dessert now maybe 2-3 times a week, but it's usually something small like popsicles or fruit.
-
It was fruit or nothing! DD1 gets a popsicle or fruit or applesauce...Sometimes she asks for goldfish crackers!
-
Never, except birthdays. Just my opinion though, I don't think that forbidding sweets from your kids necessarily keeps them off sweets - I feel like growing up sweets-deprived made me indulge more when I was older and had access.
