"Eat All The Sweets" - A 30 Day Tale of Love & Happiness
Replies

Day 18 30g Wittakers dark chocolate (72% cocoa). This was the last of the block of chocolate I was given on Mother's Day - 2.5 weeks ago. That's kind of a record for me ... and having to explain to my husband that I did enjoy the chocolate, I just didn't want to eat it all at once was an interesting task!
Did he congratulate you? If not, it's time to start a thread. :devil:
Actually, no he didn't ... but I'm not going to start a ranting thread about it! I get sick of reading those ...!
What I love about this challenge is that it's really focused me on being consistent with my calorie intake - I've had many instances of extreme calorie zig-zagging, lots of way over and way under-eating. For the past 3 weeks or so, I've been pretty constant with my intake while keeping some aside for the sweets I love, and my weight has stabilised to a lower level than it has been for a number of months. Thanks for setting this up - you've made me very happy with the results!!
So this weekend is coming up and I've got lots of baking planned ... stay tuned for details and pictures ... and Acrylics, I've got those cinnamon buns planned for Saturday morning still - my mouth is drooling for them right now!

Anyone try the Turkey Hill Sweet Potato ice cream yet?

Day 1: French toast topped with Jeni's banana + honey ice cream
Day 2: Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies ice cream, and Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in Greek yogurt.
Day 3: Chocolate peanut butter Pop Tart with Edy's Slow Churned Peanut Butter Cup ice cream, two Trader Joe's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in Greek yogurt.
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 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.
Day 8: My daughter made me pancakes for breakfast, and I poured a little Hershey's syrup on a couple. At lunch I had strawberry pretzel salad, a small piece of chocolate raspberry birthday cake, 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?

Day 21: 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate gojis, and French toast made with Martin's potato slider rolls topped with 1/2 serving of Jeni's roasted strawberries and buttermilk ice cream. (see avatar) The strawberry stood out better than the bananas + honey did. I'm going to a graduation party later, so there might be something else.
Day 22: 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, the last 4 Brookside dark chocolate gojis, a spoonful of Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl, and Nesquik chocolate powder in my protein lattes. Someone left a chocolate vanilla creme Pop Tart in the toaster, so I ate it.

Turkey Hill Box of Chocolates ice cream for dinner.
That sounds awesome. I'm kinda sad I can't get Turkey Hill here-- sounds like they have good flavors.
And sometimes life happens. :flowerforyou:0 -
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
Day 7 - Chocolove Salted Peanut in Milk Chocolate. This one was great.... nice mix of creamy, salty, and sweet (giggity). Frozen of course for extra added to texture to the peanut halves found throughout :P. Also, another Greek Yogurt Bowl for preworkout with Fage, Dark Chocolate Cheerios and All Bran.
Day 8 - Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate - Yummy combination of the dark chocolate flavor with a tartness of freeze dried raspberry pieces all throughout which provide a nice crunchy texture. Enjoyed frozen as usual
Day 9 - Breyer's Blasts! Strawberry Cheesecake w/ Lucky Charms. Hah! Nothing fancy going on here... was super lazy and kinda screwed up my macros so I needed to opt for something on the lower fat side. I remembered I still had some of the Breyer's left over from before starting the 30 day pint a day challenge. This combo was pretty good! 339g Breyer's w/ 57g Lucky Charms.
Day 10 - A whole buncha stuff. Finished off the remaining 3 TJ Blueberry Cheesecake Icecream bites. Also had 4 Cups Cappuccino Kefir topped w/ All Bran & 110g Vanilla Chex, and 3 Honey Nut Rice Cakes topped w/ Cinnamon Bun Whey spread. Lazypostworkoutprebedmeal/10
Day 11 - Lindt Dark Hazelnut. Made a quick grab for a candy bar while across the street at Walgreens. Hadn't had Lindt candy in a while do I decided to give it a whirl. Not too bad... standard Dark Chocolate taste, more on the sweet side though. Sectioned into 3 portions with a hazelnut and some sort of mousse like filling inside. Also had some Dark Chocolate Crunch Cheerios.
Day 12 - Fannie May Pixies - Made another quick stop across the street from work at Walgreens today because I'm going to be busy later. Opted for the Pixies since it's been years since I've had anything by them. Not a fan of mint meltaway's so I opted for the Pixies. Figured I couldn't go wrong with a combo of pecans, caramel, and chocolate. I was correct.
Day 13 - Chocolove Toffee & Almonds in Milk Chocolate. Pretty good, but a little too sweet for my liking... Personally, I'm a bigger fan of Dark Chocolate so the combo of toffee and milk chocolate was quite extensive. Nice crunch and salt from the almonds though. I would recommend this one if you're a fan of milk chocolate & toffee.
Day 14 - Chocolate Truffle Kefir topped with Vanilla Chex & Triple Decker Toasted Salted Almond Butter/Sea Salted Caramel Truffle Sandwich. How's that one? Ok so.... The Kefir was a let down. The flavor sounded like it would kick *kitten* in theory, but it didn't even taste like chocolate.. thankfully the Vanilla Chex was there as a savior. I need to just sticky with the fruity flavors because the vanilla, chocolates, cappuccino etc all suck! On to the sandwich... marvelous! Used three slices of Martin's Potato bread and lathered two of the slices with TJ Salted almond butter. Placed two Sea Salted Caramel Truffles and then put it on my foreman grill for about 2 mins like a panini maker. Perfecto
Day 15 - Peanut Butter Brownie - This is actual a store bought brownie from the Bakery section. They had a few different flavors to select from, Cookie n Cream, PB, 2x Chocolate, etc. So, being a PB predator I figured it would be a great buy. A+ :P..... Moist, chewy and peanut buttery. So good, especially for a store bought one.
Day 16 - Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar - Very rich Dark Chocolate flavor. Quite yummy and filling, but nothing out of the ordinary... not much else to say about this one!
Day 17 - 2 Sea Salted Caramels, w/ 120g Vanilla Chex. Nothing special today... was in a hurry last night so I planned poorly and had to scrap together dem macros.
Day 18 - Peanut Butter Brownie - Repeat here, so no pics. Have 2 of em left and need to finish them off.
Day 19 - Yasso Vanilla Bean Greek Yogurt (whole box). Posted pic of whole dinner... 6 eggs of 683g yellow potato, 4 Yasso Greek Yogurt Vanilla Bean bars, 64g salted almond butter on 2 Martin's potato rolls, and 36g Vanilla Chex (not pictured)
Day 20 - Chocolate Truffle Kefir, PB Brownie & PB Cheerios Bowl of Deliciousness.
Day 21 - Chocolove Cherries & Almond in Dark Chocolate. Good one! Not overly sweet, with a handful of different textures. crunchy almonds, chewie cherry pieces and additional crunch from frozen chocolate. Really enjoyed this one from the Chocolove line.
Day 22 - Kozyshack Cinnamon Raisin Rice Pudding w/ Cinnamon Bun Dymatize Whey. Spotted this at the grocery store so I decided to give it a whirl. Been a while since I had Rice Pudding and this one looked yummy. I had it as a post workout "meal" so I decided to throw in some extra Cinnamon Bun Whey. Great combo!
Day 23 - Blue Bunny Flan Ice Cream - Good creamy texture as usual with all Blue Bunny Ice Cream. Not that big of a fan of the flavor though... some of the caramel swirl had an icy texture too it, which was kinda weird. Not bad, but certainly not my favorite. Oh well.
Day 24 - 4 Hawaiian Bread Rolls & Fage Greek Yogurt dusted with Gingerbread Granola & Two Sea Salted Caramel Truffles. For the pre-workout :P
Day 25 - Edy's German Chocolate Cake Spectacular - Very Good! It ranks below the Talenti German Chocolate cake, but this is quite tasty especially for 150 cals per serving. Rich Chocolate base with a very creamy texture, cake pieces, coconut flakes and a caramel swirl. It's a seasonal item, so if you find it and haven't had it... give it a go!

That looks amazing! I'm allergic to strawberries so I would take the chocolate one - I have never heard of cannoli french toast where did you find that recipe? My husband doesn't like french toast so I never make it - but I order it at restaurants every chance I get. YUM!!!0 -

Oh maaaan!!! Wish I knew how to make that!
I didn't know how to make it, I just guessed. I took a couple of slices of bread (which I imagine should have been french but was actually italian) and spread a mixture of ricotta cheese (30 grams), powdered sugar (10 grams), chocolate chips (14 grams, which was too much, I'd probably do half), and 1/4 tsp vanilla in between the two pieces. Then I coated it in 50 grams of egg beat with 1 tbsp whole milk and 1/4 tsp cinnamon and fried it in 7 grams of butter. Then I topped it with 5 grams of powdered sugar.
Super easy.
So much yum!!!0 -
Anyone try the Turkey Hill Sweet Potato ice cream yet?

What I love about this challenge is that it's really focused me on being consistent with my calorie intake - I've had many instances of extreme calorie zig-zagging, lots of way over and way under-eating. For the past 3 weeks or so, I've been pretty constant with my intake while keeping some aside for the sweets I love, and my weight has stabilised to a lower level than it has been for a number of months. Thanks for setting this up - you've made me very happy with the results!!
