    Went to Giant today & picked up four pints of Talenti Mediterranean Mint & Sea Salt Caramel (my favorites) & two I haven't tried before which are Southern Butter Pecan & Belgian Milk Chocolate. I also picked up Two Ben & Jerry pints Phish Food (I have never tried this & with all of the glowing reviews here thought why not) & my favorite Cinnamon Buns.

    Giant has their own version of Gelato now. I was tempted to get their version of Pineapple & Passion Fruit, but decided to save it for another day.

    Day 1: Zuppa inglese
    Day 2: Apple and cinnamon home-made mini cake
    Day 3: Ciacco's gelato (custard and chocolate sorbet)

    That looks really good. Did you buy it from a store or a local Gelato place?

    Day 1: Double fudge cookie dough Blizzard inside of a chocolate-dipped waffle cone
    Day 2: 4 lemon twist Oreos and a mini Reeses peanut butter egg
    Day 3: I attempted to make Nigella Lawson's chocolate Guinness cupcakes with Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting. It didn't go so well. But I ate a lot of the good parts - the batter, the frosting, and the leftover stout. So I'm pretending I ate an actual cupcake and that they were a success (but I burned them).


    Hats off to those of you who bake... I can never get *anything* (that doesn't come in a box with directions) to turn out right.

    I'll be using this strategy for my next baking failure.

    Day 3 - Lactose free chocolate ice cream with strawberries, blueberries and raspberries mixed in. Get seriously jealous of all the variety of normal ice cream, but at least I have mix ins to add some variety!

    Do lemon oreos taste anything like lemon creme quest bars? Because I do love me some oreos, but eating a lemon quest bar was an experience I'd like to forget, lol. I've had other lemon flavored things before that tasted gross... but I don't think they could make an oreo I don't like haha

    They taste nothing like lemon quest bars, thank goodness. Worst quest bar ever.
    Wasting your calories because they don't like lemon, or because Oreos in general? Poo on them! :bigsmile: Maybe I'll get some "for the kids". We had mint Oreos in the house for a couple of weeks, and in that time I only had one. That was like a major deal for me, because I used to eat a whole row. :blushing:

    Edited for punctuation.

    Because they don't like lemon, hah! I love lemon flavored bakery type goodies. But put a slice of lemon in my water or tea and I will hurt you.

    I had some extra batter from my cupcake fail... crossed my fingers and baked it in some mini loaf pans, and it actually turned out alright! Going to have to guesstimate the calories but I don't even care!

    ETA: My mini loaves turned out. I used a local black mocha stout... Mmm.

    I ended up having pancakes again (with blueberries and sugar free syrup this time), in the addition of my kugel. Maybe I should join a 30 day pancake challenge :laugh:

    An important thing I learned in the ice cream cleanse: A serving of ice cream has less calories than a serving of syrup.

    1: Peanut Bismarck, Kroger Cherry Cordial Ice Cream
    Day 2: Three Twins Sea Salt Caramel
    Day 3: Chocolate Nutella Angel Food Cake, Talenti Sea Salt Caramel

    Had a slice of this for morning snack, and I'll have some Talenti after dinner. And hey... it's gluten-free... so it MUST be "healthy"

    I wish I could just bake for everyone. I love to bake, but tend to eat more than a serving or 5. I take them to work, but that doesn't help since I am there too. I do eat some sort of sweet everyday though....Endangered Species are my favorite candy bars. I think I will have some now. Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs

    Day 1 - A sour cream donut rolled in cinnamon sugar (still warm, they were baked off 10 mins before my shift ended so naturally i had to get one to scarf down on the way home) and two rootbeer float flavored marshmallows. Deeeeelicious!
    Day 2 - a serving of Talenti Caramel Apple Pie, a serving of Steve's Sunday Morning Ice Cream, and two vanilla lavender marshmallows
    Day 3 - a serving of Steve's Mint Cacao Chip Ice Cream, what was left of my Jeni's Banana French Toast ice cream (.85 of a serving), 2 vanilla lavender marshmallows and a rootbeer float marshmallow.

    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!
