  What is your favorite "BAD" food you splurge on??
« on: March 27, 2007, 07:27:33 PM » by AllinHisTime
As I was indulging (ok, I've had 3 or 4) in triscuits with extra sharp cheddar cheese and a slice of pepperoni on it with my daughters today, I got to thinking about how unhealthy all of that is but it tasted really good!!! 

So, it got me to thinking about all of you and what is that "one or two" things are that you like to indulge in or treat yourself with every week, cuz I know I can't do it only once a month!!!  Or am I just the only one lacking self-control/discipline.  Since Jesus got a hold of me, I must admit, I have less problems with this than when I had a completely worldly mindset.

Ok....out with it (only if you want to share).....What is your favorite "no-no?"

*and no, I won't use it against you or reference this in future posts!!! This is just for fun and to help me feel more "human"  Tongue *

I don't usually splurge on triscuits...dark chocolate (atleast 65% cocao..is that how you spell it??) is what I choose to give my time to.

ONE OR TWO!?!?!?! (yeah right)

Today it was a handful of Sun Chips, the french onion flavor.  They were given to us.  I would never dare buy them...I don't think they'd make it home! 

Then, there is ALWAYS the trusty Ritz cracker - again which I rarely buy.  Roll Eyes

But, as far as sweets...I just love maple sugar candy.

To be true, I could go on and on...but I wont!  I have to at least pretend I'm good, most of the time.

We buy ice cream on a somewhat regular basis (every 2-3 weeks), but as far as splurge, every now and then I gotta have classic (hard, not soft) Chips AHoy cookies dipped in milk.  Mmmmmm....  And every now and then poptarts.  This is maybe every 4 months.  

I used to crave things much more.  And still, I will go down the cereal aisle and think oh my, to have a whole box of Cap N' Crunch with berries right now!  I think it would make me sick at this point since it has been probably 5 years since I've had them.  What is disappointing is last time I got those cookies, which was last weekend, they made me sick  Undecided Sad.  I felt bad for a long time.  Then felt better and tried again later b/c they are SOOO good.  And felt sick again.  I mean, REALLY bad.  That was disappointing.  Ok, and stupid on my part.  I seriously think my body is just not used to that junk anymore.  BUT ice cream doesn't bother me still!   Grin

Vegetable Egg Rolls w/ salt on the side, Jalapeno Poppers, Ben & Jerry's Karmel Sutra or Phish Food, Edy's Caramel Delight ice cream, chocolate covered cherries...that's all for now.   Wink

P.S. And I'm NOT pregnant (yet, anyway).   Cheesy

Since I am a diabetic all carbs are bad for me so I cant eat much of them but I  am very weak willed when it comes to fresh fruit.

Each summer I go over board on the fruit because we have lots of various fruit growing wild on our land. Also I get weak in the summer with vanilla ice cream  because the fresh picked fruit taste so delightful in it. OH mercy Im craving that fresh sweet fruit right now!

I have to say I admire and appreciate your honest responses!!!!

I'm not shocked because it seems we are all alike in these areas.....some would call it lack of self-control or negative food association....I just call the bad stuff plain ol "good" fer ya every now and then!

Ding Dongs!  They're ridiculously expensive (nearly $4 a box), so I only by them when they go on sale, which is about every 3-4 months.  Even, so I usually buy more than one box during the week in which they are on sale!

Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix--mix a packet with sour cream--it's sooo good!

Kit Kat
Sour gummies or Sour Jelly Bellies

Homemade fried potatoes

Pasta

That's all I can think of right now.  Like a pp said, it doesn't help when you're pregnant.  We have an awesome local Italian restaurant around here, with the best marinara sauce I ever tasted.  I've had their spaghetti the last two weekends in a row!

P.S.  I forgot about pickles and olives.  And hot dogs.  With pickles on them.

Haha, well I AM pregnant, and Taco bell has been my poison lately.  My nice Brother in law went there for me recently just for two tacos--the .79 ones.  I love those.  I'm making Mexican food at home a lot, but it's truly not that unhealthy the way I make it--until I cover it in cheese and sour cream!  Yum!  I also love Breyers Chocolate (natural....well, semi-natural) ice cream.  On sale it is $3 usually at best.   Can't think of too many bad things.  Taco Bell is definitely at the top of the charts lately, though.

This time of year there is no contest-----Cadbury Eggs! They are the BEST.  I shudder to tell you how much we spend on these Shocked Shocked Shocked. They only come out around Easter and my whole family loves them and we tend to go overboard(like buy a case  Grin). So my son and I have been trying to figure out how to make our own version........ I'll let you know if we try it  Wink

Oh! We do have some control; we ration them to one a day (ok, sometimes 2.....)

Most of the processed foods (trans fats too) don't taste good to me anymore, but I have to admit with my new kefir dips, I have a weakness for potato chips.

Also I bought some strawberries and angel food cake for hubby and didn't have any cream, so I got some cool whip.  I had some cool whip with chocolate pudding from the can(my fav), and it was just dreamy.... mmmmmmmm. Roll Eyes

I love anything choc with peanut butter too, but if you get the right kind, it's not bad at all.  Wink

I have a weakness for Big Macs, french fries, Dr. Pepper and a hot fudge sundae from McDonalds. I usually don't care for processed foods either, but for some reason I have never lost my taste for McDonalds!

Most of the time my "bad splurges" are things like chocolate (cheap or pricey, milk or dark, doesn't matter), homemade rich chocolate desserts and cheesecakes, ice cream,  and any side dish made with tons of sour cream or cream cheese!

I never buy this stuff but when I'm at my mom's house I chow down on potato chips and chive dip.

I also love hot dogs with the works...and Pringles...and Kraft Deluxe Macaroni and Cheese (this is my husband's idea of heaven.) We've been buying the natural hot dogs at least!

I love Twix and Kit Kat Bars...and chocolate milk...ok, I splurge on a lot of junk! But honestly my favorite thing in the world is a salad made with fresh greens and veggies, covered in feta and a homemade vinagarette.

Ok - chocolate covered iced or whipped cream (not custard) filled donuts.  But I limit myself to one about every two or three months.  Especially since I am nursing.

The easiest downfall I have is candy bars - the kinds with chocolate and nuts - and they are everywhere.  :-(  But I am getting better about saying no to myself (crucify that ol' flesh) and only have one about every two weeks or so when I am running my errands.

Mmmm, love fried plaintains...but they're not that bad! Wink I'm currently eating a donut hole b/c we have bagels and donuts every Wednesday at work. (Talk about challenging my self-control!) I love sweets so ice cream and Snickers are always tempting. Potato chips and fries in the summer with burgers...mmm...oh, and the occassional grilled hot dog... I'm making myself hungry and I just had breakfast!  Grin

MooseTracks or Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is my splurge.  Only a few times a year though when I visit my Dad's house.  They always have some, but I never buy it or I'd eat it all.  I also love ice cream from Sonic or Dairy Queen, just vanilla soft serve.  But since I've been pregnant this time, I cant eat any ice cream Sad  It makes me throw up every time. 

I also love Cookie Crisp cereal or any kind of processed cereal really.....Frosted Flakes, Lucky Charms, Boo Berries, Captain Crunch....I like them all!  I try to not buy them because I'd eat a whole box in a day or two!  I have no self control when I have access to these foods so I just stay away from them.  But with this pregnancy so far too, I cant eat cereal with milk.  Milk makes me throw up just like ice cream does.  I'll be so glad when I can eat something besides PBJ sandwiches again!

I've been in to tortilla chips with shredded sharp cheddar sprinkled (or loaded Wink ) on them.  Then you microwave it until it gets all melty and yummy........  Nothing else on them, just cheese. 

I also love cheetos and regular lay's potato chips.  I don't have those too often, though.  My usual splurge is the tortilla thing or a bowl of ice cream

Great thread.  I've lost the notion that all you guys are PERFECT healthy eaters.  Thanks for taking away some of my guilt.   Kiss

I used to have a recipe for this, but must have lost it when transferring files from my old PC to my new one.   Angry  I remember reading the recipe and thinking it was a very simple recipe.  I was going to try it for hubby.  The neat thing about it, it may contain tons of sugar, but if you make it yourself, sugar will be the only downfall.  You don't have to use the yellow food coloring or the preservatives, etc, that they put in the mix to put these on the shelves.

Anyway, these recipes are only offered free for a week from the website I got it from, but if you're really interested, you can create an account and the recipe will only cost you 79 cents.  Here's that link.

Oh yeah.  DQ Blizzards!  YUM!  During Christmas they had peppermint chocolate chip.  OH MY!!!!  Now they have peppermint oreo, which would have been better if this particular server would have done a better job mixing in the (all-natural of course) green peppermint flavoring  Roll Eyes.  It was all at the bottom.
