Are there some foods you just can't give up? Mine is cheese and coffee. I know coffee isn't bad for you, but I put flavored creamer in it. With both these "guilty pleasures"....I just can't give them up, but I do limit myself. I get the sugar free creamer which has 15 calories per tbsp, and I use 2 tbsp per cup. I limit myself to 2 cups of coffee per day. As for cheese, I love love love cheese, any kind. I always hear people say that when you make a salad you should have no cheese, no croutons, and dressing on the side. Sometimes this is ok, but more times than not, I still add cheese. I just make sure I portion it so it is only one serving (because I could go waaaay overboard with it haha).

Anyone else have any guilty pleasure foods? Or healthier versions of these foods you have found? I know that I LOVE laughing cow cheese wedges and this helps me be a bit more healthy with my cheese addiction :-)

    Pizza...Hands down! PIZZA! Ugh! I hate that I love it so much and I can't even get sick of it cause there are so many different options to buy around here, so it never gets old. lol

    This is my perfect night: A bottle of Framboise Lambic (a carbonated ale that tastes like raspberry champagne--yum!), a wedge of triple cream brie, and a baguette. Add a favorite movie, and I have my own date night.

    Alas, but no more! I think about all that and cringe inwardly now. Well, except about the lambic. I could so go for some of that. ;}

    While I don't feel guilty about consuming food or alcohol, alcohol is what I usually splurge on.

    Peanut butter, definitely. I'm happy to just sit and eat it with a spoon right from the jar with a glass of milk!

    Low moisture mozzarella is definitely a good option if you find yourself craving cheese! (In moderation, of course)

    Mac and cheese or wine and cheese/crackers. I can down an entire bottle of wine all on my own with some good goat cheese and crackers.

    And any kind of mac and cheese : powdered cheese, liquid cheese in a pouch, homemade with crumbly topping..... OMG YUMMMMMMM!!!!

    Jalapeno poppers. I just love them, I could eat about twenty in one sitting. I've only had them once in the past year though. Sigh. I miss them.

    Also, BEER. For obvious, delicious reasons.

    I don't feel guilty about it, but my first two cups of coffee every morning have sugar and flavored creamer in them. It's my daily splurge and makes me happy to get out of bed!

    Braum's chocolate toffee ice cream - thank goodness I moved from Oklahoma to New York 10 years ago, no Braums here! Blue Bell ice cream too - another one I thankfully can't get here.
