<p>Well, the OP actually says, “What is your favorite food that you love , even though it is not healthy?”</p>
<p>Ice cream is #1 (I can eat large quantities at a time.) Also love pizza.</p>
<p>Yes to coconut!</p>
<p>love Almond Joy bars and my mom’s Italian Cream Cake which is very rich and has coconut and pecans.</p>
<p>I thought participating in this thread would help with my food cravings. Surprise, it hasn’t!</p>
<p>Today I bought my husband a cherry pie, and I have eaten half of it!</p>
<p>Research shows the best way to prevent food cravings is to block opiate receptors in the brain.</p>
<p>Has anyone tried that?</p>
<p>Really tasty homemade macaroni and cheese, made with a sharper flavored cheese(particularly Beechers). Very nicely browned, I’ll go for almost burned, with a sprinkle of bread crumbs on it. I’m not even hungry and I’m starting to salivate.</p>
<p>And a thin crust authentic Italian pizza.</p>
<p>Or really good spaghetti bolognese.</p>
<p>All of this coconut talk has me remembering the cake my grandmother made every Sunday it was Grandpas favorite. Grandma made it w/o a recipe and never measured the ingredients, but amazingly it always tasted the same. It was a white cake (light and moist) with a pineapple filling and a buttercream coconut frosting. In the summer Grandpa would make old fashion ice cream (vanilla, chocolate or butter pecan). Wow, the memory brings tears to my eyes. how I miss them and that Sunday after supper treat.</p>
<p>I was a hero to my kids when I let them have ice cream for breakfast one morning during a particularly grim and competitive music camp. (I especially liked the dirty looks I got from some of the other parents.)</p>
<p>Jim’s Steaks…oh yeahhhhh! (#39)</p>
<p>Lately, sweets don’t do it for me like they used to. Salt, yes. And everything my doctor tells me to avoid…</p>
<p>I bought hubby a smoker for christmas. He bought pork belly from the butcher and now smokes his own bacon! I joke that it’s darn near a health food since there are no nitrates or preservatives.</p>
<p>Paula Deen has the best recipe for coconut cream pies. I’ve made it twice now and it’s just heaven.</p>
<p>Chicken wings with extra blue cheese.</p>
<p>Brie cheese warmed in the oven with the breadsticks around it and honey and almonds.</p>
<p>We are homemade cooks for the most part but I admit every once in a great while I’ve been known to eat velveeta mac and cheese with bacon.</p>
<p>Raisin and cinnamon english muffin with melted butter.</p>
<p>An Outback blooming onion. A juicy, rare steak. A chocolat hot fudge sundae. A piece of cheesecake.</p>
<p>Haven’t had any recently. A steak once in a great while. The others, it has been years.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I wish you hadn’t said that.</p>
<p>those Powdered Sugar Ball cookies that I only seem to make around Christmas…those really should be a year-round treat. Why the December limit???</p>

<p>When I was a little girl I entered a town cherry pie eating contest. I ate like 5 pieces in a half hour. The winner ate 27. Not even close. Ugggh. To this day I can’t stand eating anything with cherries in them! :D</p>
<p>When I was a HS student, I (almost) won an unoffficial ice cream bar eating contest - on a dare. I think I ate 9 1/2, my friend won by eating 10. We both had to be sent to take a hot shower and than we sat for a couple of hours under heavy blankets (it was July!)… Never again! But I still like ice cream. 
My current favorite are Magnum dark chocloate covered vanilla miniature bars. At 150 calories each, thay are not that unhealthy! ;)</p>
<p>I love carrot cake which sounds healthy but is about the most calorie dense cake around. I love it with pineapple and – of course! - coconut in the batter. Sometime I make it in muffin tins and don’t put on the cream cheese frosting and eat them for breakfast.</p>
<p>Raclette! Raclette!</p>
<p>Chicken satay–coconut/peanut sauce over grilled chicken and brown rice.</p>
<p>Thanks for the nutella link. Not a health food? Shocked, shocked.</p>
<p>Southern Fried chicken done properly,marinated in buttermilk and fried in a cast iron frying pan the right way, in lard…</p>
<p>Fried Oyster Poh boy sandwich, another classic.</p>
<p>Mom two college kids, I want some!!! I’ll pm my address, jk, no really!!!</p>
<p>Archway makes a sugar coated round nut cookie. I can only find them around here at Christmas time. I served them at an open house one year and this guy went on and on about how my cookies tasted just like his mother’s. I gave him my recipe.</p>
<p>mom2collegekids … yes, those round cookie balls! Those are amazing … lots of them. I could eat these for breakfast if no one was looking.</p>
<p>I have a few things that I love eating, but as I near the half century mark realize that my body is reminding me that sometimes I over do it:</p>
<p>1) I used to love Muir organic salsa with high quality tortilla chips with melted cheddar until I learned I have early acid reflux symptoms.</p>
<p>2) And did you know that if you eat too much Ben & Jerry’s in one sitting you could suddenly learn what lactose intolerance feels like even if you aren’t? </p>
<p>3) And my latest bad thing … chewy sweet tarts … either the little balls or the fifty-cent size pieces. (Talk about acid reflux overdose though …)</p>
<p>Fortunately I do love a delicious salad along with steamed broccoli and freshly grilled salmon with wild rice, too, so I know what tastes great and is also good for me. However, there are so many other things people listed I’m going to try. Yummy.</p>
