If it didn't have calories, right now I would eat...

I grew up calling them 7-layer bars, but know a lot of people refer to them as "magic cookie bars" ... they are my ultimate dessert. I have a recipe for a "healthier" version that isn't as sweet!4 -

Pumpkin carrot cake... drooling.0 -
one of my favorites - as long as those 'plump golden raisins'...(or any raisins really) aren't used😣
We need more cream cheese icing on it though...2 -

I would be interested in that recipe if you want to share.
I’ve also heard them called Hello Dollies.1 -

I would probably even share.

Well, no, not unless you call using a blender 'processed'.
Mango lassi is (optimally) yogurt (which is naturally fermented milk), honey, and mango.
Thai iced tea is black tea (another naturally 'processed' product in that it's allowed to ferment a bit, contrast to green tea) steeped with a variety of spices. In restaurants it is often overly-sweetened with sugar and condensed milk, but the version I like uses actual cream and a touch of honey if needed for sweetness, though usually the star anise in the spices already has sweetness covered.
You know, it *is* possible to make these things from scratch and not rely on a pre-packaged mix. I suggest using a malty Assam as the base for the Thai tea.
Also, I thought this was a thread for 'what do you want to eat that has tons of calories so you are not eating it, but that you would eat if it had no calories', not 'what low calorie thing do you eat'.0 -

I'll definitely share... also have heard Hello Dollies. really, I think the name depends on the process or ingredients used... I know some recipes call for pecans, some for walnuts... white chocolate, etc.2 -

What is a Saratoga ribeye? How does it differ from a typical ribeye? Do you grill them? Inquiring minds want to know!
Oh dang I should have taken a picture. You know how a ribeye has delicious marbling throughout but also usually big fat strips on the edges that are cut away for consumption? A Saratoga ribeye is just the center part with the marbling and is cut to the thickness of a filet mignon. So it’s like a more flavorful filet. Usually has string tying it because it’s often rolled. Sometimes wrapped in bacon and/or peppercorns.
It’s by far my favorite cut of beef but it’s not cheap. $20/lb at my local grocer/butcher. And my 8 year old has developed an affinity for it...
Everything is better with BACON.1 -

This is seriously weird, I really am not 'attracted' to any of the food pics I've seen in this thread so far. I'll have to comb back farther.
How am I so fat if I don't seem to like the normal junk food that trips everyone up? WTF! Not fair!4 -

Wow, you all have me craving carrot cake too now. I'm another that loves the raisins, WAY more than the nuts. Slather it in cream cheese frosting and I'm good to go.2

Wouldn't you rather have this (cucumber-wrapped) salad, that expands to fill the plate once you take the cucumber rim off the perimeter? https://images.app.goo.gl/hA4QdWcqZf5rHKC471

You could be over eating in calories. My nutritionist told me a days worth of soda is like 500 calories so by reducing 500 calories in a day from how we normally eat we should be able to start seeing a difference over time. I can eat an entire pot of Alfredo pasta if given the opportunity, but that alone would be my entire day's worth of calories.2 -

@WinoGelato here is the recipe:
Healthier 7-Layer Bars
Ingredients:
10 full sheets honey graham crackers
3 large egg whites at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsweetened shredded or desiccated coconut
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
6 caramel candy squares
4 ounces fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon sugar or sugar substitute
Directions:- Preheat the oven to 350°F, and coat a 9-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Break the graham crackers into pieces, and add to a food processor or blender and pulse into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, and mix in the egg whites until fully incorporated. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the coconut, miniature chocolate chips, and pecans over the graham cracker crust in the order listed. In a small bowl, melt the caramel candy squares in the microwave for 30 seconds or until melted and drizzle over the bars. In a small bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, Greek yogurt, and sugar or sugar substitute. Evenly drizzle the milk mixture over the toppings.
- Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely to room temperature, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing into squares.

You don't like Pav?

This thread make me realize how repelled I am by processed food.
Just had breakfast, not hungry now.
When hungry, I'd like either a zero calorie Thai Iced Tea or Mango Lassi.
I do not care for packaged cookies, cakes, candy ( oreos, Hostess, Doritos etc) and do not like meat, burgers, bacon, chicken etc. Much of the posts are too much for me to even dream about, however if no calories was an option there are things that would be elightful:
my mom's home made chocolate chip cookies, whole jarof nut butter, coconut manna, fresh fish fry, more simple single items. yum with this thread. Freshly made from scratch in a kitchen-
There are exceptions though- tub of frosting, raw cookie doughs and plant protein bars...
My real dream is to have an entire jar of Smuckers or Richards crunchy peanut butter...😂2 -
