When you are living alone, one of the most important responsibility is falling in love with yourself over and over again. However, there will be days when you don’t want to cook or clean your home or sometimes even take a shower! There are so many adjustments you have to make both mentally, emotionally, and physically if you are recently single or have moved out on your own for the first time. Despite these changes, nothing feels better than a plate of delicious French Tarts that can bring a smile to your face. This is the most perfect and effortless dessert you can make when you need a little more reassurance to remind you that everything is going to be okay.
