    I just made this. It was worth every calorie (all 600 of them o.O)

    I adapted it from this one:

    http://lecremedelacrumb.com/2014/01/smores-lava-cakes.html

    I adjusted it though-- theirs was going to come out to 800ish calories so I made mine 3/4 the size. I also used margarine for the graham cracker crust-- butter for the inside.

    Haha! I know! I'm always looking at chocolate flavors and kind of gloss over the rest. There was a pint of Talenti chocolate chip that had tons more chips in it than the others, and I almost got that, too. Am I the only one here with a Safeway? I got their Salted Caramel Chocolate Cookie ice cream, too, and had a taste. It tastes like Oreos, not even the imitation ones. Sooooo good!

    You need to experiment outside of chocolate :)

    Sometimes when your sweet tooth cries out, you have to make with whatever you can find around the house. After a solid workout I felt an uncommon craving for sweets this afternoon -- rifling through the freezer and some seldom used drawers, I managed to coble together this rather sad but ultimately satisfying recovery snack:

    ScroungedSweets_zps31b780f7.jpg

    Unfortunately that is Trader Joe's *Light* Vanilla Ice Cream ( :ohwell: ). I snazzed it up with some Hot Tamales Fierce Cinnamon candy that appears to have been left over from Christmas -- that stuff does not go bad! However, the Hot Tamales do freeze into little rocks very quickly after being smushed into ice cream. Not my dream dessert, but all in all OK for totally MacGyvering it spur of the moment.

    Stopped at the best cupcake shop in our area, they were on cupcake wars, they always have some unique flavors. We picked up 6 cupcakes. Picture was taken after I ate one of the chicken n waffle cupcakes. But there's still one in there. There's also Chocolate Bacon cupcakes, Peach cobbler, and a Funnel cake cupcake. They are soooo good :)

    Mmmm cupcakes.

    I made a couple of kinds of cupcakes yesterday. They're not exceptionally pretty so I didn't take any pics, but they were espresso dark chocolate and hummingbird cake, both with white chocolate butter cream frosting.

    And now I have two tubs of butter cream in my fridge. That'll end well, I'm sure. :indifferent:

    I keep trying not to bake, because I planned to cut a little while Mr. Acrylics is deployed in hopes of bulking over the holidays. But people keep asking me to make things and then not eating all the things they asked for, so I keep having tons of leftovers. :grumble:

    Couple of recent pics:

    Greek Yogurt Blueberry Funfetti Pancakes that the kids and I made for husband's birthday. They were really yummy.

    Ooo that pie looks good. I've been meaning to try a berry crostata. I've got the recipe I just keep having to bake other things.

    All your pictures are making me hungry. Even the frozen Hot Tamales! Oh, I finally bought Speculoos cookie butter ice cream at Trader Joe's. Definitely worth buying! The cashier said it was the best ice cream they carry, in his opinion.

    I bought a baklava sampler because I've never had it before. I considered making some, but the problem with making things you've never tried is you never know if it turned out right. :laugh:

    Allowed myself cake and ice cream......and a truffle.....and a LARGE chai creme frappucinio....and a caramel apple. All for my birthday.

    I'd post pix, but I am not familiar with doing that here. It's not copy and paste (like elsewhere).

    You have to upload the photos to a hosting site like photobucket or imgur. Make sure the file name doesn't have any spaces (don't put it in a folder called Mobile Uploads). Then put the code in like this:

    [ img ] www.pic.jpg [ / img ]

    Except no spaces.

    We had book club last night, we had read an awesome book called Defending Jacob about a teenager on trial for murder (if anyone is interested in book recommendations). Anyway, the hostess had a themed dinner, which was hilarious because I felt like it could have been the subject of many, many MFP threads about Clean Eating vs "Junk" food. Her theme was "Guilty or Innocent" .

    Appetizers - cheese board, salami, crackers and hummus with veggies
    Dinner - Beer can chicken, cheesy potatoes, kale and quinoa salad
    Dessert - Devils food cake with caramel gelato and homemade hot fudge sauce or angel food cake with berries and cool whip.
    Lots and lots of wine.

    The picture doesn't really do the dessert justice - it was great. I had all of it - guilty AND innocent!
