    Thanks for the cheesecake recipe! :smile:
    Yum, cinnamon buns. Going to have to decide on a homemade recipe for these. Years ago Cinnabon use to be here in Australia, but sadly no more.

    Yep, definitely miss those Cinnabons (I'm also in Oz now!). Add to that I'm gluten intolerant, so I'm trying to find the best homemade recipe that works with gluten-free flour. The ones I made on the weekend were close, but not quite there yet.

    Tonight I had Talenti southern butter pecan and earlier today I had pound cake and half a chocolate chunk cookie. The cookie was disappointing. Or maybe my standards are too high now. I think it came from the Walmart bakery.

    Here's a review for you guise - Edy's Slow Churned Summer in the City Cheesecake. 110 cals per serving, very macro friendly. Doesn't skimp on the flavor at all. Creamy vanilla base, sweet & crunch & crunchy graham cracker swirl, with cheesecake bits all through. I recommend picking it up if you're a fan of cheesecake and ice cream. It is seasonal though. ---- OEpez6v.jpg

    Cheesecake and ice cream sounds like the perfect dessert!
    Don't think they have Edy's here though. Will look for a suitable alternative when our ice cream supplies dwindle.

    Day 36: slice of ginger loaf cake

    Day 3: Does lots of nyquil count?
    Day 4: Boston Creme Donut
    Day 5: Lemon cherry cheesecake
    Day 6: Talenti Fudge Brownie gelato

    I've only been eating gelato. With my mom visiting I can't really bake (she's diabetic). I'm pretty miserable. She won't be home on Thursday though so I'll probably get something somewhere...

    I hate when I get a cookie thinking it will be good, and it sucks. I still haven't made that lemon zucchini loaf. I bought all the stuff, and haven't had time to actually make it.

    This morning I had a Safeway/Lucerne birthday cake ice cream sandwich, then I had 3 dark chocolate coins when I got to work, and a spoonful of Talenti banana chocolate swirl. It's taking a lot of willpower not to eat that whole bag of dark chocolate, let me tell ya!

    Day 1: sour cherry clafoutis
    Day 2: red wine ice cream

    It's so good, it's blowing my mind. I'll post a nicer picture later if I remember to take one when I serve it.

    Very intrigued in red wine ice cream as it combines two of my favorite things! Recipe?

    Haven't been posting... back in Italy after a work trip to Germany and Switzerland... continuing with daily gelato and about every other day pastries in the morning but haven't had anything new/exciting to talk about lately. Only here for one more week then back to reality in the US!

    So I went into the market next to my physical therapy clinic and the gelato selection is out of this world. The girl even offered to pack it in ice for me because I live so far away (45 minutes). I got some of the Talenti toasted almond (which I haven't found around here) and some Gelato Fiasco S'mores.

    Ooooh! Did they have the straciatella peanut butter??? MrM27 said that one was really good, and it's on my list of things to get at Balducci's. I'll be waiting for your review on this.

    Oh my word. So this one is not a typical s'mores flavor, in that the base is graham cracker flavored. I love that, because I feel like most s'mores flavored things completely neglect the graham cracker part (Ben & Jerry's, I'm looking at you). Then it has big chunks of marshmallow and flecks of chocolate. I would have liked a tiny bit more chocolate but this one is damn near perfect. 10/10 will buy and eat again.

    Wait a minute, what??? Gelato Fiasco Smores? Really??? I don't have that by me. Oh man that looks amazing.

    Did you buy the PB?

    Sorry I haven't been posting my stuff. I have been eating some stuff daily but I'm also winding it down a bit because I'm toward the very very last 4 or 5 lbs for the beach and the "Super vanity" look I'm going for. Trust me have had some awesome stuff i will share later.

    I didn't get the peanut butter one but I will grab one before I'm done with physical therapy. Also they had Graeter's dark chocolate truffle that I want to try.

    YUM!!! Recipe? lol. I don't know how you all manage to have such a tiny piece :laugh:

    I'm tired of ice cream, making some raspberry cheesecake tonight (must be sugar free though sadly). I'll try and post pics...
