Re: Junk Food Thread

  • Oh man, I am going to have to stay away from this thread!  :D I've only known I'm pregnant for a week and I'm already taking too many liberties with my normally quite healthy nutrition... Well except for my never ending sweet tooth.  Sparkling lemonade sounds delicious @Sporty1216.  I bought some of the Target brand of sparkling juice and water today- a generic Izze- mango peach yum! 
  • Oh and over the weekend I discovered Edible Arrangements has smoothies! I got strawberry pineapple kale- it was so good I went back the next day to get another.  And come on, anything with kale in it can't be too unhealthy, right?!  ;)

  • I just had a bag of mini kit kats and I regret nothing! Ask in an hour after heartburn has set in or in a week when i get weighed in.....ugh.  
  • Those look amazing @lillebowski23 ! I want to come to your family functions!
  • @Sporty1216 read my mind. When I saw that picture, I thought "omg, those look amazing." I love challah, but I've never had it fresh from the oven. I want it!!!

  • Omg can someone help me put down the pizza :# I need someone to come to my house and confiscate all of my frozen pizza. Arrrrgggghhhhh.  I've had pizza like 3x this week. Make it stop!
  • Finally caved and had that Italian sub. I regret nothing.
  • Man, I just scrolled up and looked at your challah bread again, @lillebowski23. They sell it at my grocery store, but it doesn't look as good as yours. I need to find a bakery that sells it.

  • I love Swedish Fish @Sporty1216!!  I don't know why I keep reading this thread when I can't eat most of the yummy things everyone talks about, but I still do.  :)

  • I try to avoid this thread! Swedish fish and ALL things gummy are my crack! In college we lived near wegmans (which they've since expanded in the northeast), the store is open 24/7 and has a bulk candy section, lethal. Swedish fish by the pounds! And I so innocently thought at my young age that because there was no fat, I could eat them by the lb!

  • I also love gummy fruity candy. Swedish fish are amazing!
  • My gummy fruity "candy" these days are gummy prenatal vitamins. I think if I didn't have such delicious vitamins I'd forget to take them. Speaking of... I forgot them this morning. Something to look forward to when I get home :)

  • True confession: I ate a bag of gummy bears the next day! ;) I knew you all were my people! 

    Also, gummy prenatals really do help curb the craving. But add in grading and stress and I gotta have the real deal! Haha. 
  • I take fiber gummies that taste amazing. My husband is a gummy fanatic. If he knew how good they were, he'd eat the whole bottle. I shudder to think what that would do to a person!

  • I have a bunch of child assessments to write up tonight. @sporty1216 I'm all set! 
  • Soooo jealous @bernierae!! My starburst jelly beans have been staring at me for 2 weeks, I'm splurging this weekend!!
    Lilypie Pregnancy tickers
  • @BernieRae !!!!! Now I want jelly beans again! (Good luck with the write ups)!
  • My LO pulled a packet of those out of the pantry today (they've been in there since DH and I got married over 3 years ago, but are probably just a "fresh" as they were on the day they were purchased). I told him he'd learn all about those soon enough. ;) They are so yummy in such a terrible way. Hope you enjoyed!
  • @redheadbride15 those were a first trimester staple for me.

  • So speaking of gummies, a FB friend posted a recipe for gummy strawberry slices which I am trying out today on a SURPRISE DAY OFF (my only 2 Thursday clients cancelled)! The recipe says to bake the strawberries sliced in 1/3s or 1/4s at 210 degrees for 3 hours. So far I have 1.75 hours left and I will let you all know how they turn out. 

    In the meantime, I found this recipe: https://undressedskeleton.tumblr.com/post/54098060490 which is slightly different. I will try this one next.

    Regardless, this sounds fairly simple and is hopefully delicious.
  • Ooh. Your timer must be about to go off soon! Can't wait to hear the report! I've been eating my kid's fruit snacks. Better than more bags of gummy bears, but not as good as if I was eating straight up strawberries....
  • Hmmm... so they were alright. Most of them were soft, but not chewy. The others were a little chewy but more crunchy. I am not sure if this is due to the pieces being different sizes or the fact that I used parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Or maybe it was the time and temperature. At any rate, I will try the other recipe soon and see what happens. Oh yeah, and they tasted really good, I just wished the texture was better.
  • I kind of want to wander through the grocery store tasting things right now...

  • That sounds like an awesome idea, @CarrieandRoy ! There should totally be tasting grocery stores. I would pay a cover charge. 
  • They should keep one open container of everything so people can sample. Like perfume testers.  :)

  • Yeah, yeah! That would be so awesome. It would totally change my perspective on grocery shopping. Right now, I hate it. But that could make me love it.
  • Also, Brown Sugar Pop Tarts. They're what's for lunch. ;)
