    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: A Barney butter cup
    Day 5: Half a dozen Barney butter cups
    Day 6: Angel food cake with a strawberry. A big honkin' quarter of an angel food cake. Today is a rest day and I had 155 calories to spare after pre-logging my dinner... that very large serving was only 120 calories, and the strawberry added another 12. If I burn more during the day, I'll supplement with moar Barney butter cups. But I love angel food cake, with or without whipped cream and stuff... this was delicious!

    You had surgery yesterday... And you're baking...
    :blinksinawe:

    Well I was bored out of my mind. :flowerforyou:

    Unfortunately I can't do any exercise so my ability to work the baked goods into my much lower calorie goal is a challenge.
    Recovery burns a crapton of calories. True story. Nom nom.

    Mine didn't turn out as pretty as the Pinterest picture. :laugh: They were delicious. They did not taste like cream cheese though-- if I was going to make them again (probably will) I'd double the cream cheese. But still, they're gooey and delicious.
    Pinterest certainly has raised the bar :laugh: A couple of years ago I found a double photo of baked blue Cookie Monsters, with one pic of the original creations and the other from the poor but brave soul's kitchen. They were dripping of blue goo and resembling something that the cat dragged in to an extent that I still almost pee in my pants when looking at the photo and can't stop laughing for a long time. Free therapy...

    I love angel food. I especially love the calorie count. I usually like it alone but I wouldn't scrape strawberries and whipped cream off my plate.

    Me too... I'm perfectly happy to rip a hunk off the cake and eat it like bread. The calorie count is awesome. Granted, a lot of it is air, but what tasty, tasty air it is!

    Should I heat up my lobster tail in the oven?

    You can steam it or do it in the microwave. I just looked it up. I would think the oven would dry it out?

    I think you found what I found which is for actual lobster. A lobster tail pastry is dough baked, filled with bavarian cream topped with powdered sugar. I'm not going to bother warming it up. Don't want to destroy it. I'd be upset.

    Oooohh I was confused too. :flowerforyou: Don't forget pics.

    Missed reporting yesterday, again. So two days added here.

    Day 1: Yellow cake and Bryer's Reese's PB cups ice cream
    Day 2: Hostess Powdered mini-donuts and more ice cream
    Day 3: powdered mini-donuts again
    Day 4: Whitman's Sampler chocolates, 3 pieces.
    Day 5: Keebler Chips Delux triple chocolate cookies (2 cookies). Not spectacular. I prefer the softer cookies. TBH, the mango I had earlier was a better treat that the cookies.
    Day 6: Pepperidge Farm Milano - Boston Cream Pie. They're okay, but not my favorite. I much prefer that sandwich Milanos with Raspberry- or Orange-chocolate. Todays been a bit iffy overall, definitely not meeting my macros. Lunch and afternoon snack were both Cocoa Pebbles with skim milk. :laugh: And some other junk today, too (as in, not that great, and not satisfying a craving I couldn't identify :grumble: )



    And, Acrylics, I'm glad you're feeling better. That's a scary surgery incident! (I know, I got behind)

    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!
    Day 5 - Wild Ophelia Smokehouse BBQ Potato Chips. This was essentially just a crunchy dark chocolate bar with a very mild occasional crunch/smokey BBQ flavor. Kinda reminded me of a nestle crunch bar, just not as textured. You do get a BBQ chip after taste though... pretty unique. I quite enjoyed it :)
    Day 6 - Trader Joe's Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Bites. Figured I'd switch it up today and try something different. Had 3 of the mini bars. Creamy cheesecake bites with blueberry and graham cracker sprinkles. Very tasty, but too small and not worth the cals for the size IMO. Also Greek Yogurt bowl with 450g Fage, 350g Frozen Blueberries, 70 Dark Chocolate Crunch Cheerios & 30g TJ Crunchy Cookie Butter

    I got behind a day with my reporting, but I'm still in!

    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.
    Day 5- Talenti Raspberries and Cream, Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate, and the rest of the Talenti Raspberries and Cream because it looked lonely.
    Day 6 - All the foods. I've had leftover Easter candy, some mini marshmallows I found in the cabinet, and some Chocolove Chilies and Cherries in Dark Chocolate. No idea what's wrong with me today, but I am ridiculously hungry. Could be the new HIIT workout I did yesterday or the weights I did today (chest, back, and some leg); my husband's suggestion was PMS. I don't even need to have PMS to tell you what a dumb move that was on his part. But I am hungry today, that is for certain.

    My baby turned 2 today and we're having the party tomorrow, which means cake. Hells yeah.

    OMGosh, I would definitely take that fage/blueberry/cheerios bowl over the ice cream bites anyday. I used to regularly make a big bowl of fage with blueberries, Pb2, honey and milled flax.

    Today I had 3 servings of Publix Peanut Butter Cup frozen yogurt with a gluten free brownie crumbled on top. It was freaking delicious. I'm not usually one for taking food porn (because frankly, my stuff isn't usually much to look at) but tonights was totally photo-worthy and when photobucket stops pissing me off, I'll add the pic.
