Blueberry + Almond Cake !

How do you go to France and not eat the patisseries?

You tell me.

It's not that I was pressed up against the store windows with drool dripping off my chin, and no one force fed me.  I just suddenly became aware, like waking from a dream, of a plate, a cake and a fork in my hand.  Seriously, how does that happen?

You may wonder why I even mention it here, but when you've not eaten refined sugar and gluten for a few years....you have to wonder?

Even though French patisseries are no longer my treat of choice, I ate every forkful with utter love and not a single ounce of guilt attached.

Yes, I did suffer later.

Now if this gluten and refined sugar free bad boy had been placed in front of me, this little lady would be typing this post from heaven....
