Directions to make custard

1. Add sugar, soymilk, and flour into a small saucepan and hear. Stir until lumps of flour disappear. Turn on heat to medium high and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Boil until thick.

Wait for custard to cool. Place custard into baked crusts + desired fruit on custard and enjoy!



I didn't realize how much of a sugar addict I am until my boyfriend pointed it out. Who doesn't love sweets anyway? My trainer reminds me every time that I see him, sugar is toxic to our blood. So what's a girl that loves sugar to do? Eat it with moderation, and try to get natural sugars into your body- from fruit!
