"Eat All The Sweets" - A 30 Day Tale of Love & Happiness

dunnodunno

Went to Giant today & picked up four pints of Talenti Mediterranean Mint & Sea Salt Caramel (my favorites) & two I haven't tried before which are Southern Butter Pecan & Belgian Milk Chocolate. I also picked up Two Ben & Jerry pints Phish Food (I have never tried this & with all of the glowing reviews here thought why not) & my favorite Cinnamon Buns.

Giant has their own version of Gelato now. I was tempted to get their version of Pineapple & Passion Fruit, but decided to save it for another day.

Day 1: Zuppa inglese
Day 2: Apple and cinnamon home-made mini cake
Day 3: Ciacco's gelato (custard and chocolate sorbet)

That looks really good. Did you buy it from a store or a local Gelato place?

Day 1: Double fudge cookie dough Blizzard inside of a chocolate-dipped waffle cone
Day 2: 4 lemon twist Oreos and a mini Reeses peanut butter egg
Day 3: I attempted to make Nigella Lawson's chocolate Guinness cupcakes with Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting. It didn't go so well. But I ate a lot of the good parts - the batter, the frosting, and the leftover stout. So I'm pretending I ate an actual cupcake and that they were a success (but I burned them).


Hats off to those of you who bake... I can never get *anything* (that doesn't come in a box with directions) to turn out right.

I'll be using this strategy for my next baking failure.

Day 3 - Lactose free chocolate ice cream with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries mixed in. Get seriously jealous of all the variety of normal ice cream, but at least I have mix ins to add some variety!

Do lemon oreos taste anything like lemon creme quest bars? Because I do love me some oreos, but eating a lemon quest bar was an experience I'd like to forget, lol. I've had other lemon flavored things before that tasted gross... but I don't think they could make an oreo I don't like haha

They taste nothing like lemon quest bars, thank goodness. Worst quest bar ever.

Wasting your calories because they don't like lemon, or because Oreos in general? Poo on them! :bigsmile: Maybe I'll get some "for the kids". We had mint Oreos in the house for a couple of weeks, and in that time I only had one. That was like a major deal for me, because I used to eat a whole row. :blushing:

Edited for punctuation.

Because they don't like lemon, hah! I love lemon flavored bakery type goodies. But put a slice of lemon in my water or tea and I will hurt you.

I had some extra batter from my cupcake fail... crossed my fingers and baked it in some mini loaf pans, and it actually turned out alright! Going to have to guesstimate the calories but I don't even care!

ETA: My mini loaves turned out. I used a local black mocha stout... Mmm.

I ended up having pancakes again (with blueberries and sugar free syrup this time), in the addition of my kugel. Maybe I should join a 30 day pancake challenge :laugh:

An important thing I learned in the ice cream cleanse: A serving of ice cream has less calories than a serving of syrup.
