Someone Left A Recipe On My Desk

Meh. I don't get the point of baking the cookies into the brownie as well as coconut and then having more cookie, caramel sauce and ice cream with it. Too busy for me. Leave out the cookies and you have all the flavors represented. Just chop up the cookies and add them to the ice cream and skip the time consuming brownie step. Just eat the cookies and skip the time consuming parfait.
Was this left on your desk by a girl scout parent desperate to move some cookies?0 -

If you find out who it is leave them this recipe:
Bruléed French Toast at The Cheesecake Factory's
The French toast contains 2,780 calories, 2,230 milligrams of sodium, 24 teaspoons of sugar and 93 grams of saturated fat -- the recommended amount of saturated fat for a full work week. And, it's not the 200-calorie side of bacon or ham that's boosting the meal into high-calorie heaven. It's the butter-infused syrup and the custard-like filling in the bread.

Yummy?
Wow. You know the amusing thing is that when I got the final number for the recipe I posted, I thought seriously to myself that I could get a really good slice of cheesecake from CF for less calories than that and CF is a gut bomb pretty much across the board! 2780 calories. That's nearly 28 miles of running. I could probably run 28 miles in a day, but maybe not after eating that thing!
The brownies, eh well, it is is a 9x9 pan, not particularly big. But point taken. I do have some pretty big white wine glasses at home though! Hehe...0 -

I would recommend it to bulkers, but it only has 11g of protein for all of those calories!
If you need to desperately gain weight, here is the recipe:

Did you subtract out the brownies the author says will be left over? No way can you fit an entire pan of brownies in 4 stemless wine glasses. Not unless they are smooshed in there solidly - and then where would the whipped cream and salted caramel sauce go?
I'm thinking the actual cost per serving like in the photo is closer to 1000 cals. Still very high, but a lot less. And I bet a pretty satisfying rendition could be done around 500 cals if you adjust whipped cream, brownie and sauce ratios.
Challenge accepted.
But the challenge is to fit in the brownies without making a solid mass AND to fit in the layers of whipped cream (the sauce is too easy)

You've clearly never seen my wine glasses

Wait, so because someone left this recipe on your desk it means they're trying to sabotage your diet?
Now perhaps if they made the recipe, gave you one and sat there and made sure you ate it -- or better yet force fed it to you -- I could see how it could be sabotage but leaving a recipe? Not getting it.0 -

She didn't say it was sabotage; merely that someone left it on her desk.0 -

A very solid compromise when you decide to limit yourself to one drink a day!

The OP didn't but someone else said:I really think some office people like to sabotage others.
(Sorry, I should have quoted the person who said it).

I actually don't think they make that one anymore. I had the one they still make though (the regular one) and it was only 1400 calories. I actually stayed under my calories that day because I had the ham with it, had a big workout, and had maybe 200 calories of something for dinner...
Isn't French toast always custard-like anyway? Or I must have done it the wrong way all this time LOL.
Those parfaits look delicious too though.0 -
Yep, I'd definitely give myself the 'beetus with this one.0
