    After lurking the gelato thread and regretting not participating, I've been following this thread and doing the cleanse on my own...thought I would chime in here now:

    Day 1: Held a huuuge bake sale, ended up eating one and a half lemon squares, a mint chocolate chip cookie, and two amazing Reese’s peanut butter cup cupcakes bought at the bake sale. Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting and a mini Reese’s inside.
    Day 2: Pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked Froyo. The whole pint. So amazing and full of chunks of deliciousness.
    Day 3: Package of Birthday Cake M & Ms. Not bad- actually tastes pretty cake-like. Also, it’s teacher appreciation week, so I had two small browned butter blondie with chocolate chips and nuts from the lounge.
    Day 4: Teacher appreciation week continues- two small chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting.

    Day 1: Brown Butter Snickerdoodles (2), Edy's slow churned vanilla with a sprinkle of cinnamon
    Day 2: 3 brown butter snickerdoodles, 1 serving of Breyer's triple chocolate gelato, and one rolo
    Day 3: one serving of B&J Mississippi Mud Pie and one serving of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
    Day 4: nothing crazy exciting today-- my boss surprised me with lunch so not a lot of calories at my disposal. This is Edy's slow churned french silk.

    I do have a scone from the place where we ate lunch for tomorrow.

    Ok, now that I see it, I do remember having the French Silk. Yeah, that's a good one! *goes off to creep your diary for possible food porn*

    Not much to see in there-- I had no idea how to log what I had. It was a cup of tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese with havarti, tomato, garlic butter, spinach and chicken. And a scone with clotted cream and jam, which I brought home to have tomorrow. It was all delicious. It wasn't THAT high calorie but since I usually have yogurt and carrots for lunch I wasn't ready for it.

    May 5th: I made Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie Banana Sundae w/ talenti vanilla bean gelato (no picture because I wanted to taste it too bad to pause and find my phone lol)
    May 6th: Leftover brownie (left off the banan sundae part)

    Day 1: Some amount of freshly made strawberry ice cream at the Charlotte Fair. Probably the best strawberry ice cream I've ever had; got to watch it being churned and scrapped out, which always makes things taste better. Super creamy, not too sweet, nice pieces of strawberry. nomnom
    Daty 2: Strawberry cheesecake, 3 oreo cookies, and a dark chocolate square filled with sea salt caramel.
    Day 3: 7 oreo cookies and milk.
    Day 4: A peanut buster parfait from Dairy Queen

    Day 1- Chocolove Chilies and Cherries in Dark Chocolate.
    Day 2 - Talenti Raspberries and Cream and Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate.
    Day 3 - Talenti Belgian Milk Chocolate and Chocolove Toffee and Almonds in Milk Chocolate.
    Day 4 - Talenti Belgian Milk Chocolate mixed with a frozen, diced Cadbury Creme Egg. Definitely one of my better ideas, and probably the only creme egg I'll have until next Easter.

    Day 1 - A sour cream donut rolled in cinnamon sugar (still warm, they were baked off 10 mins before my shift ended so naturally i had to get one to scarf down on the way home) and two rootbeer float flavored marshmallows. Deeeeelicious!
    Day 2 - a serving of Talenti Caramel Apple Pie, a serving of Steve's Sunday Morning Ice Cream, and two vanilla lavender marshmallows
    Day 3 - a serving of Steve's Mint Cacao Chip Ice Cream, what was left of my Jeni's Banana French Toast ice cream (.85 of a serving), 2 vanilla lavender marshmallows and a rootbeer float marshmallow.
    Day 4 - a serving of Steve's Mint Cacao Chip Ice Cream, a dark chocolate covered caramel, and four french macarons (flavors of the macarons were pistachio, strawberry, madagascar vanilla, and ???- unidentifiable)

    edited to add that i think the other macaron was passion fruit. Oh, and i had peanut butter cheerios for breakfast, if that counts....

    Day 1 - Wild Ophelia - Salted Chowchilla Almond. Already discovering new things. Wild Ophelia is a local company to Chicago with a handful of "unique flavors" - http://www.wildophelia.com/. Kind of difficult to review, but it is a nice balance of sweet milk chocolate bar, smokey chopped almonds and sea salt. Also, if you haven't ever tried it,... I highly recommend freezing the chocolate bars prior to consumption.
    Day 2 - Chocolove - Dark Chocolate w/ Crystallized Ginger. Nom Nom Nom, big ginger fan over here. Rich Dark Chocolate taste (65%) with just enough sweetness. Spicy and sweet ginger pieces throughout, but not overpowering.
    Day 3 - Wild Ophelia - Peanut Butter & Banana - Well, that was delightful :).... Milky chocolaty chocolate with a creamy peanut butter and banana taste (derrrr). Quite macro friendly too. Only 300 cals for the whole bar!
    Day 4 - Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Raisins & Pecans. OMGAHHHHH so good! Rich dark chocolate flavor with a crunch texture from the pecans. I also froze the bar per usual for extra added crunch! A number of gooey and sweet raisins all throughout the bar to top it off. YUM!
    hMWBvYv.jpg?1
  • Day 1: Cinnamon and Raisin English muffin with 1/2 tbs of Cookie Batter and 5 squares of 85% rich dark chocolate from Trader Joe's :)
    Day 2: Skinny Cow Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich and 4 squares of 85% dark chocolate again!
    Day 3: Peach Crisp with Whipped Cream :)

    It's a recipe I found in our forum! It was absolutely delicious.

    Day 4: Half a serving of Cadbury Caramello chocolate. I see a preference...

    1) Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Gelato.
    2) Chocolate mini muffins with a big cup of coffee. YUM
    3) Talenti Sea Salt Caramel.
    4) Skinny Cow Limited Edition Snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich. I'm not a Skinny Cow fan typically. Usually if I'm going to have dessert, I'm going to make it worth my time! With that said, it said 'Limited Edition' so I had to try it. So, these weren't bad. Not a strong snickerdoodle taste, but light and pretty yummy. I may have another since I'm a bit short on calories if I still feel hungry here in a bit.

    ** For anyone a fan of B&J's Cinnamon Buns, our Kroger had the on Closeout. Now usually, that means discontinued but I'm not sure if that is true! You may want to check your local stores and load up if it is! I got some just because....

    Day 1 - Chocolate fudge brownie - I did not see the thread in time and already ate it so now picture.  Fail on my part.
    Day 2 - Half of a Reeces peanut butter cup cupcake with butter cream and chocolate frosting.  Only half because she ate the other half.  Also, a serving of Talenti - Sea Salt Caramel Gelato.
    Day 3 - Talenti - Southern Butter Pecan Gelato

    What's the southern butter pecan like? I've heard rave reviews but I want your opinion because we usually at least mostly agree.

    To me, the Southern Butter pecan is like eating a buttery roll with a sweet glaze and nuts but cold. I'm a big buttery flavor girl. And this being gelato is perfect for me! It could be overly sweet if you aren't use to sweeter desserts (like if you prefer super dark chocolate to milk for example). But for me, it was heaven and I could eat it pretty much every night!
