I love hot molten lava cakes. The way I like them best is when there are a whole bunch of us sharing it so each of us gets maybe a few spoonfuls. YUM! A close second is light dessert souffles (but few places we can afford make those).
Clearly these two can be combined.
And grilled cheese... mmmm...
I also love salted edamame... can eat it non-stop. Not good... too much sodium and soy.
Chocolate truffles and Ben & Jerry’s are for special occasions.
Anything with caramel.
Cheeseburgers
Mexican food
Fried chicken or chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and cream gravy.
Forget the sweets, just give me a loaded baked potato.
Of course, none of the above are allowed on a very low carb diet. At least I get my beloved eggs.
I was recently in Sweden and had princess cake. So decadent! Thin cake topped with a layer of jelly, custard, giant pouf of whipped cream, more cake (?) and then rounded off with marzipan. There are so many desserts and just not enough time to exercise....
Tacos with fried shells
Fresh tortilla chips with salsa and guacamole
Baked potato with both butter and sour cream
Potato chips
Fried chicken
Really any fresh baked bread- croissants, baguette, bagels, focaccia
Sweets aren’t huge on my list but I also like a fresh donut with orange topping or cinnamon. Scones can also be dangerous for me.
My sinful chocolate these days is Theo coconut dark chocolate squares. They come in a two pack and if I have them in my pantry I’ve been known to eat two packs.
I’m mostly a carb lover. All of the above are things that I can’t have around me on a regular basis. They are also things that I’m not good at moderation with therefore I reserve them for special occasions.
