Sorry if beer doesn't count...it's like, my favorite treat.
I'm hoping it does...because I'm about to head out with some buddies to celebrate St. Patty's Day, and that's what I intend to use the rest of my calories (and perhaps a few "over") on.
This looks so good! I love Bailey's, I haven't had it in so long.
My favorite after dinner drink is a Nutty Irishman. Decaf with Bailey's, Frangelico and Jameson. All I had last night was Bailey's. <sad panda>

I love Bailey's. I've got a bottle in my fridge from making car bomb cupcakes but I rarely drink so it's just sitting there. I wonder how long it lasts-- anyone know?0

Well, I am not sure if this is the right answer, but my Bailey's has been on my bar shelf, (not even in the fridge), open, for at least a year. I drank it last night and am still here to tell the tale...
Also, here is another awesome use for Bailey's that may be relevant to your interests:

Please tell me they're at least the traditional flavor ones (ie green = lime) and not all these stupid new-fangled ones where green is sour apple, red is cinnamon etc, pink is watermelon.

Day 3- Blue Bell Krazy Kookie Dough with some chocolate chips mixed in

Day 1: Haagen Dazs Caramelized Banana Chip Gelato
Day 2: Edy's Slow-Churned Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream
Day 3: Haagen Dazs Sea Salt Caramel Gelato
Day 4: Peanut Butter Chocolate Pancakes and bacon, and a shower beer.
Day 5: Four Keebler Fudge Shoppe Cheesecake Middles cookies and two porch beers. Last day of pretty weather this week, so I thought I'd enjoy it. The cookies were good though, I'll probably buy them again.0 -
Day 1: Triple berry pie
Day 2: triple berry pie and white chocolate snickerdoodles
Day 3: mini cadbury creme eggs
Day 4: Chai Latte ice cream
Day 5: Breyer's Strawberry Truffle gelato indulgences
Okay so . . . I'm pretty sure Gelato Fiasco dark chocolate caramel has ruined all other low calorie ice creams for me. This one is pretty good-- it's got a fluffy strawberry base, chocolate ribbon, and chocolate truffles-- but it's 160 calories, and it's nowhere near as good as the GF which is 170. I enjoyed it but I don't think I'll buy it again.

My husband is helping with ours either. It's my own fault though-- the only kind of pie he likes is apple and I knew that when I made the berry pie. But I wanted berries, dammit.0 -

Day 5. A little light on treats today. Had some Green and Blacks 70% dark chocolate which barely even counts for this cleanse because it isn't sweet. At all.
Tonight kicks off our mini spring break, we are at our camper tonight and I had a beer with the bbq takeout. I had room for wine or Girl Scout cookies but I'm too tired at this point.
Rest of the weekend we are visiting my family so there will be lots of food and alcohol consumed...
Everyone is off to a great start with this cleanse, let us all know if you have any weekly SV or NSV as a result!0 -
My assignment for Math for Allied Health majors (and really, this is probably the easiest class I've ever taken...once upon a time I was going to be a math teacher) tonight was: take a picture of a nutrition label from your favorite snack and use it to answer questions. I just used the label from my ice cream tonight. See, the cleanse is educational!
(Though it took everything in me not to answer "How many calories will you eat if you eat the entire package?" with "can I weigh it first?"...especially as there was no way what I ate tonight was 25% of the pint)0 -
