Man! I am craving all that is "holiday/seasonal" foods. Hot Apple Pie, Sugar Cookies, Candy Canes, Hot Cocoa.. I am really having a hard-time resisting today.

How about you all? What are you craving? What are you going to do about it?

    I am having an 'I dont want food' day, so its actually been hard to eat my cals. :grumble:

    However, what I HAVE been craving recently are homemade rolls. My aunt makes the most amazing soft dinner rolls. She made some for Thanksgiving and sent (half cooked so we could cook them the rest of the way and have them warm) them home with us. They are now mocking me from my fridge.

    I made Christmas cookies for DH yesterday but I don't have a sweet tooth really, so I am resisting. I also have chocolate mousse left over from Thanksgiving... Holy crap, I just realized I will be eating most of the Thanksgiving leftovers for Christmas if somebody doesn't start cracking! :indifferent:

    Good tip if you're craving hot cocoa - warm milk over the stove and stir in the royal chocolate slimfast mix... MMMMMMM.... I love it. :heart:

    I agree with the rolls, but what I REALLY want to make is my Million Dollar Fudge! I'm trying not to do it this year. Oh, and the pumpkin bread!!!!

    I have two cans of pumpkin in the pantry, is your recipe healthy? Does anyone have a healthy pumpkin bread recipe? I guess I could google it but I trust you all more since we're all in this mode!

    I have cravings. My fav. is homemade lefsa. I have no learned how to make it this year. I dont' know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. LOL

    I started getting sugar free hot chocolate and my DH said its better than the reg. hot choc. And you have a few extra calories to put a few mini marshmellows. :tongue:

    I don't know how many calories in slimfast but I drink hot cocoa almost every night. I went out and bought dark chocolate baking cocoa and mix that with splenda then I mix all that with light soy milk. I think all together it's 80 calories sometimes I put peanut butter in it and it tastes like a reeses cup :heart: with out all the calories. Sure does satisfy that chocolate craving.:wink:

    The baking cocoa with peanut butter and sweetener sounds fantastic....
    and I, too, love pumkin bread -- make some before Thanksgiving, and made pumpkin pie for my husband's b'day in mid of Nov since that is his favorite. I don't know how healthy my pumpkjin bread recipe is, but would be happy to share...

    I did break down today and buy some mint M and M's... now if I can just make sure to limit myself to just a few each day..... good in hot chocolate too!

    Don't hate it...unless you went over your calories by 500, you're still in a deficit.
    I had a mini chocolate chip m&m cookie today and I loved it. :bigsmile: Last night I had a white chocolate chip pumpkin cookie and that was great too. :bigsmile: What's the point in living if you hate eating cookies? :wink: :laugh: The point is just not to eat too many.

    Of course, I have that problem when my stepmom makes her german sugar cookies and almond cookies and stoelln....mmmmmm. I do love the sugar free hot cocoa, sometimes I drink it cold because I like the chunks in the milk. Is that weird?:huh:
