The first person to decide to serve dessert at the end of the meal must have been born without the genetic variant receptor that contains a protein called T1R3. That is, they were born with a savory tooth as opposed to a sweet tooth.

I, apparently, got blessed with T1R3 and thus have a strong sweet tooth. Which used to mean cake was off the menu! (In other words, don’t even get me started!)

After all, when folks think of low carbohydrate, they think lean protein and vegetables. It’s not often you find low carbohydrate and dessert in the same sentence—especially not cake.

Until now.

In fact, you may never look at them again at all once you enjoy these low-carb dessert recipes!
