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....
Aww now I has the sadz... B&J's cinnamon buns was my pregnancy craving with my first son! I hope its not being discontinued!0 -

Haven't read the forum posts (read page 1 :P) but this whole thread is similar to what I do. I eat a very clean diet, lots of fruit, veg, water, whole grains, good protein sources. However everyday I let myself have 1 square of chocolate or 3 sweets of my choice. Then for my *cheat meal* of the week I will pick something chocolatey with around 300-400 calories and incorporate it into my allowance for that day. Today, it is going to be Domino's cookies *drool*
.
Good luck to everyone here and keep up the hard work.0 -
Day 1: Mom's lemon cake with strawberries and whipped cream
Day 2: Chocolate cookie sammich with almond butter
Day 3: Chocolate and salted caramel pecan froyo
Day 4: I made Barney Butter Cups this morning. I'm an extreme Reese's lover, but peanut butter is forbidden in my house because we have someone with allergies. The only almond butter cups I've found online are made with... peanut flour. :grumble: So I made my own with semisweet chocolate, chunky almond butter, and powdered sugar... and a little sea salt on the top, because yeah, sea salt and dark chocolate. 100 calories each. I ate one soon after making them.
This will probably be my Day 5 entry too, since I devoured four of them after midnight. Making these things on a rest day when I'm super hungry may possibly have been a tactical error. :blushing:0 -
Those ^^^ wow.
I failed this challenge as I cannot seem to stay within my goals and the chocolate beast within me has been unleashed. I am also leaving for Mexico for a couple weeks where I will not be on MFP, but rather on some beaches surrounded by all things delicious. Just wanted to say that I look up to everyone on here exercising (no pun intended) great portion control, will power, life skills, whatever you want to call it. Keep it up! I really enjoyed reading your posts.0 -

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.
Move it to a folder with no space in the name. Instead of Mobile Uploads put it in your Bucket, then link from there. For some reason MFP can't deal with spaces-- it puts a %20 there and then the link won't work.0 -

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.
Can you share this recipe please
Here's the recipe I used (not the frosting):
Cake: http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-nigella-lawsons-chocola-79475
And I also substituted black mocha stout for Guinness.
For the calorie-laden frosting:
-8 oz cream cheese
-4 tbsp butter, softened
-1 16 oz pkg powdered/confectioners sugar
-8 oz heavy cream
-8 tbsp Baileys Irish cream
Use a hand mixer to blend the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar little by little so you don't make a big mess. Then slowly add the liquids and keep mixing it. The end. (I combined two diff recipes for the frosting and kinda winged it. You could probably skip the heavy cream.)
ETA: You could also probably half the frosting recipe because it makes a ridiculous amount but then you can dunk graham crackers or cookies in the leftovers, so your choice!0 -
Day 1 - May 5: 1 cup of Turkey Hill Frozen Greek Yogurt - Baklava
Day 2 - May 6: 2.5 tablespoons of Speculoospasta / Cookie Butter on crackers
Day 3 - May 7: 1/2c cookies and cream froyo from a new place that opened near my house, with 100g sliced strawberries, chocolate chips, and don't tell my MFP diary.. but I added a teeny tiny drop of nutella on top (the place has a dispenser with warm nutella in it that you can put on your yogurt... should be illegal!)0 -
I have made frosting with the specific intent of slathering it all over a few graham crackers. True story.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!

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).
Day 4: Chocolate stout cake w/baileys frosting, sour starburst jellybeans, and a bakery cinnamon roll
Day 5: chocolate stout cake for breakfast :smokin:0 -
Stopped in to get coffee after my morning run and ended up also getting Bread Pudding... Breakfast of Champions!
. But I did close out my evening with pork pate. One had a cognac glaze and the other was peppercorn. Went real well with a 22oz bottle of Alaskan Raspberry Wheat. Looking at the photo, I think the can of Rainier and the Ritz crackers are a nice juxtaposition to the classiness of pate. Technically it wasn't "sweet", but it was decadent, and the beer was sweet.
Also had some Talenti Caramel Apple Pie
Day 1: Peanut Bismarck, Kroger Cherry Cordial Ice Cream
Day 2: Three Twins Sea Salt Caramel
Day 3: Chocolate Nutella Angel Food Cake, Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
Day 4: Rookery Bread Pudding, Pate & Raspberry Wheat, Talenti Caramel Apple Pie0 -
Day 1: Zuppa inglese
Day 2: Apple and cinnamon home-made mini cake
Day 3: Ciacco's gelato (custard and chocolate sorbet)
Day 4: Home-made carrot cupcakes
Day 5: Moar carrot cupcakes and perhaps some ice cream later. We'll see!

I took the 30 day gelato cleanse challenge. I gained 7 pounds.
Seriously I work in a gelato factory.
I work in a bakery and have about 30 pints of ice cream and gelato in my freezer. I participated in the 30 day gelato & ice cream cleanse (and i also ate gelato, ice cream, baked goods, and a lot of other sweets every day for months prior to that) and haven't gained a single pound.
it is not what you ate that caused you to gain weight, it is how many calories you consumed.0 -
