http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running <--- I think this guy knows how we feel. In short everyone wants an excuse to eat whatever they want. But read this anyway.
I LOL'd hard when I got to the "I ran 20 miles today, I can eat what I want" because I DID run 20 miles today, and I AM eating what I want.
Including a slice of Mango Cheesecake and Chocolate Boston Cream Cake. They were both tasty. The cheesecake used coconut instead of graham cracker crumbs for a crust... and I got to thinking "hey... somebody would probably love to make a cauliiflower pie crust". I also had a mocha instead of an Americano today, and I might grab some McDonalds at some point.
Gosh, I wish I could run 20 miles! Pretty impressive. I can cycle 20-30 miles, but running, most I have done is 10km. But I have COPD which makes running particularly challenging for me. That chocolate cake looks amazing. I have a big thing for chocolate cake.0 -

Holy crap! - mango cheesecake with coconut for the crust?!?!?? Add a shot of bourbon on the side and that constitutes a meal that hits all my required foodgroups!0 -

It was. The filling between layers was chocolate cream, and then the whole thing was covered in chocolate ganache. The only problem I had with it was I didn't have a nice tall glass of milk. Stupid being at work.
I got these from a "pie" shop around the corner from my house. I really love her other cheesecakes, but this one was kind of "meh"... I'm not really a fan of mangoes or coconut, especially without rum. The whole time I was eating it I was wishing it was in some type of odd vacation-only giant tacky goblet with some wedges of pineapple and a couple mini-pirate swords and cocktail umbrellas.0 -

Now you're just being a tease about all this. Something like that would only be served at the rooftop restaurant at the combination unicorn farm / papaya plantation.0 -

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 4 - a serving of Steve's Mint Cacao Chip Ice Cream, a dark chocolate covered caramel, and four french macarons
Day 5 - A serving of Talenti Coffee Chocolate Chip Gelato, a serving of Turkey Hill Lemoni Biskoti, two french macarons, and two rootbeer float marshmallows
Day 6 - a serving of Jeni's Rainbow Frozen Yogurt and a couple marshmallows in rose vanilla and passion fruit. (passion fruit is ok. i prefer the rose vanilla. it is tastier than the lavender vanilla i have, but none are as good as the root beer float)
Day 7 - three macarons for breakfast (raspberry, strawberry & plum. the other two were good, but the strawberry one was exceptional!), four homemade caramels after lunch (one lavender, one rosemary and two orange blossom-they are all FANTASTIC) and two cookies that my mom convinced me to try (one was a raspberry thumbprint and the other a chocolate orange cardamom flavor. they were both divine), and for a late night snack i had a rose vanilla marshmallow.
side-note, I had to guesstimate on the nutritional info. i have been doing that for all of the treats in this challenge so far except for the ice cream & gelato. hopefully i am not too far off the mark.0 -

Day 8: Couldn't find my blade for my blender to make a protein smoothie/shake for breakfast so I had Talenti Southern Butter Pecan instead for breakfast. OMG this flavor was heavenly. The only flavor I've tried so far from Talenti that I couldn't stand was the Lisbon Lemon. If I can find the blade I'll make the shake later.

How is Talenti's Fudge Brownie?
To me it was better than double dark chocolate but not as good as chocolate peanut butter cup.0 -
Sugary breakfast - coffee with International Delight Almond Joy flavored creamer, strawberry yogurt, and handmade chocolate hazelnut biscotti from a local Italian bakery. I wanted to get some sfogliatelle for the family, but Mother's Day wiped out the limited stock.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in this thread!

Day 1 - Nothing
Day 2 - Risen candies and starburst candies
Day 3- MORE Risend candies and starburst candies
Day 4 - Starburst candies (The last in the candy dish) plus a Risen - I couldn't resist the temptation any longer
Day 5 - One fourth of a chocolate Easter bunny (I ate his ears today) - In actuality, that should be 1/5 of a chocolate bunny (To be specific it's a Mr. Rockstar with star shaped sprinkles in it), when I was dividing up into portion sizes, I got 5 portions for the total grams it said on serving was.
Day 6 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - I have his head to enjoy today (that sounds really morbid)
Day 7 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - Today I had the rest of his ears and a bit of one foot
Day 8 - One fifth of my chocolate bunny - Today I had the rest of his feet and part of his body. I also had a Dare fruit snack. Not all the kids were in Junior church today, so I had to eat the rest on my own.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 7: MY SON MADE ME RASPBERRY BROWNIES!!!
If he really loved you, they would've been Raspberry Ketone Brownies.0 -
Day 1: 450 ml lemon sorbet, 486 kcal. Okay, won't buy again; should be more extravagant for that amount of calories.
Day 2: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew. Sugar coma approaches, think I overdid it a bit.
Day 3: Small serving of salmiak liquorice ice cream, and Daim bar.
Day 4: White-chocolate cranberry cookies, mint thingies, and a couple of white-chocolate miniature bars.
Day 5: Mint thingies, few white-chocolate miniature bars.
Day 6: Half-healthy today; oranges and bananas with whipped heavy cream, which was about to go bad.

Day 1: Brown Butter Snickerdoodles (2), Edy's slow churned vanilla with a sprinkle of cinnamon
Day 2: 3 brown butter snickerdoodles, 1 serving of Breyer's triple chocolate gelato, and one rolo
Day 3: one serving of B&J Mississippi Mud Pie and one serving of Talenti Sea Salt Caramel
Day 4: Edy's slow churned french silk.
Day 5: small DQ midnight truffle blizzard, scone from the local tea shop, B&J Milk and Cookies
Day 6: B&J Milk and Cookies and white/dark chocolate cream cheese bar
Day 7: white/dark chocolate cream cheese bar and Talenti Southern Butter Pecan gelato
Day 8: white/dark chocolate cream cheese bar, Ritter Sport milk chocolate with chocolate mousse:
and Blue Bell Salted Caramel Ice Cream:
This one is really good. I don't think it surpasses Talenti but only because of the truffles in the Talenti. It's vanilla ice cream with a salted caramel swirl. The salted caramel has the perfect amount of salt for me. This one is a repeat for sure, especially since it's only 170 calories per serving.0
