Day 1: French toast topped with Jeni's banana + honey ice cream
Day 2: Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies ice cream for breakfast. I'll also have a serving of Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in my Greek yogurt tonight.
Day 3: Chocolate peanut butter Pop Tart with Edy's Slow Churned Peanut Butter Cup ice cream (see avatar), two Trader Joe's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds (2 is just enough to satisfy), and a serving of TJ's Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in my Greek yogurt tonight.
Day 4: Talenti Sicilian Pistachio gelato for breakfast. 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, and 4 pieces of Brookside dark chocolate covered goji berries tonight.
Day 5: 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, my last chocolate peanut butter Pop Tart with Edy's slow churned peanut butter cup ice cream sandwich, and tonight I'll have a serving of Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl cookie butter in my Greek yogurt and a spoonful of Jeni's sweet potato with torched marshmallow ice cream. *giggity*
Day 6: One spoonful (13g) of Talenti banana chocolate swirl this morning (still tastes like baby food bananas, but I'm not complaining!), and tonight I'm having a serving of Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate ice cream.
Day 7: So far I've had 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, and French toast with 94g of Jeni's bananas + honey ice cream. Pic is my avatar, since I can't seem to resize from my phone. Much better this time. I used regular Martin's potato bread instead of the rolls, added cinnamon to the egg and used a little lite syrup.
Day 8: My daughter made me pancakes for breakfast, and I poured a little Hershey's syrup on a couple of them. At lunch I had strawberry pretzel salad, a small piece of chocolate raspberry birthday cake, with frosting that tasted like whipped milk chocolate, and an even smaller piece of white cake with buttercream frosting.
Day 9: Finished off the Edy's peanut butter cup (98g) for breakfast. I mean, really, could I let 32g of ice cream sit in that big container all alone?
I wasn't planning on buying anything new until I used up some of what I have, but I couldn't resist when I saw Safeway's vanilla honey praline frozen Greek yogurt staring at me. I'm not expecting it to taste as good as it looks. Maybe I was just hungry.

All I have now is a stock photo of my Mother's Day cake that was actually gone before Mother's Day. (So I went to the store and got ice cream)

Gooey Butter Cake looks like... lemon bars?
Looks delicious and disappear-worthy either way.

Will have to check back how that safeway ice cream tastes like... I'm all over praline.

I don't have Safeway's down here, but that looks delish! Love almost anything praline. LOL0 -

When I was searching for a picture, it came with a review, just one, that said it was up for grabs if anyone wants it. They said it was the honey that ruined it, but I actually liked Safeway's plain old honey frozen Greek yogurt, so maybe I'll like it better than the reviewer did. I may have to open it tonight or tomorrow just for a taste test.0 -

OHP tarts and sweet gainz for everyone :drinker:
(now I need to make Bench Brownies or something)
Can I have some of your Bench Brownies? Mine definitely needs to break through a plateau.0 -

Gooey Butter Cake is a St. Louis thing (I think). I had never had it before I moved here but it is UH-MAY-ZING. They have whole bakeries with all different flavors like red velvet, chocolate chip, pumpkin, berry, etc...
http://www.gooeylouiecake.com/
It looks like lemon bars and the texture is similar - but it has a lot of powdered sugar and cream cheese in it and so it is very buttery and sweet at the same time.

Yum! Gooey Butter Cake is awesome but I love making Gooey Butter Cookies - slightly less gooey but much more portable:

Yep, this is the "cake mix cheat" way to make it, and how we *always* make it. My daughter and I tried once to make it the STL ("real") way, but it was a colossal mess. :laugh:
We shall try again...one day.
ETA: And the cookie version looks delicious too!0 -
Bump for later0

The cookie version is super easy - it is one of my favorite things to take for picnics, etc in the summer time. Also you can make it with devils food cake mix instead of yellow cake mix...

Super-nom!
I have done the cake mix version with a few different flavors. About ten years ago, my mom bought me a book called, "The Cake Mix Doctor," which has all sorts of fun ways to doctor-up cake mixes to make professional-looking cakes with a mix. I still use it in lieu of internet recipes for cakes, as I typically stock-up on mixes when they are $1 or less and try to keep some in my pantry.0 -
Day 1: Gooey butter cake
Day 2: Gooey butter cake
Day 3: Entenmann's glazed donut and 2 bites of Talenti Double Dark Chocolate
Day 4: Reese's Fun Size Cup and 1/4 cup of Talenti Double Dark Chocolate
Day 5: 1 square Ghiradelli Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree and a slice of angel food cake with vanilla cool whip frosting and blackberries
Day 6: 1 square Ghiradelli Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel

Day 8: Homemade Double Chocolate Pound Cake. Was so disappointed there was no vanilla ice cream to go with this at the Mother's Day Party!
Day 9: Ghiradelli Sea Salt Soiree and likely more sweets tonight after dinner.
We are going on an extended vacation and need to eat up all the food in our fridge/freezer. Pretty sure there is a tub of Nestle Chocolate Chip cookie dough and at least partial pints of Talenti in the freezer that will need some attention - not to mention all the remaining Easter candy that needs to be disposed of... that will all be fun - but figuring out what to do with some of the other random ingredients should be fairly interesting...0 -
Day 1: 450 ml lemon sorbet, 486 kcal. Okay, won't buy again; should be more extravagant for that amount of calories.
Day 2: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew. Sugar coma approaches, think I overdid it a bit.
Day 3: Small serving of salmiak liquorice ice cream, and Daim bar.
Day 4: White-chocolate cranberry cookies, mint thingies, and a couple of white-chocolate miniature bars.
Day 5: Mint thingies, few white-chocolate miniature bars.
Day 6: Half-healthy today; oranges and bananas with whipped heavy cream, which was about to go bad.
Day 7: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew.
Day 8: Cookies, different chocolate ones.
Day 9: Chocolate-chip cookies. Nowhere nearly as nice as homemade, can't wait to have a functioning oven.
Day 9 bonus: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew.0 -

BTW, going into Day 9 now (for me, not sure of the 'official' count) and I'm down another 2lbs. :laugh: I find this especially amusing because a 'friend' of mine said I could never be 'fit' and 'healthy' eating this way. My bike time has improved, not sure on lifting since I literally twisted my hips and had to take some time off. But overall, showing steps forward. :drinker:
I meant to congratulate you on the loss! Take care of those hips.0 -

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 wo 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 5: One slice of marble cake with buttercream frosting, along with a little (lot) of extra frosting… one large chocolate chunk cookie, half of an M & M cookie, and half of a brownie.
Day 6: An apple cinnamon donut from a local orchard bought at the farmers market, 3 homemade chocolate chip cookies and a couple of candies (chocolate, obviously)
Day 7: Another pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked Froyo. Happy Mother’s day to ME!
Day 8: A slice of almond Danish pastry from a local bakery and a serving of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel0 -
Salted Caramel Gelato next? Almost out of the SOuthern Butter Pecan. Anyone? Bueller? John Boy?
Solid choice.
Have you tried the chocolate peanut butter cup yet?0 -
Not yet. Maybe Round 3 of the "Gelato get in my belly" Challenge.0

:laugh:
It's my favorite. RIght now on the Talenti front I'd rank them Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Southern Butter Pecan, Sea Salt Caramel.
Although, if you're more of a dark chocolate person it might not be your thing-- some people find it too sweet.0
