#2 DESSERTS AS A FULL MEAL


We’ve all done it, even though we might never admit it. When you go out to have a meal alone, you must have had to juggle between having a proper savoury meal or grabbing a whole stack of pancakes to yourself. At home, you just slice yourself a huge piece of cake for dinner. There is no shame! (Of course, our waistlines disagree.)
