What is your guilty pleasure food? (A fun thing to think about to get my mind off of junk)

Trying to think of other, more positive things to keep my mind off of stuff. So... What is your guilty pleasure food??? 

Mine is Haribo Gummy Bears. OMG I could eat a 2 lb bag in one sitting. I also really really like Raw Almonds. (and most other food lol)
It'll be fun!! SHARE AWAY!!!

  • I LOVE warm, freshly baked bread and also any baked sweets, especially chocolate (brownies, cookies, cake).  Of course, the worse the carb for me, the more I love it!
  • @bethann1022 Me too!!! I could live off carbs alone! My husband bought himself homemade chocolate chip cookies last week and told me not to eat them all  :D

    I second @bethann1022.  Warm, freshly baked bread. Baguette is my favorite, I can eat that all day and would, if not for my darn pre-diabetes. I also love Asian sweet buns like pineapple buns and cream filled buns. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Not going to lie, being diagnosed as pre-diabetic made me more depressed than the infertility diagnosis. lol

  • @cashewchicken yumm all these pastries sound delicious and mouth-watering. While I'm not pre-diabetic, with PCOS, we are supposed to REALLY be cautious of carbs, which is so difficult for me.  I'm trying to get better, but even when I go grocery shopping for healthy foods, I usually end up grabbing a cookie or two (or a fresh loaf of bread haha).  
  • omg I thought I knew my favorite junk food until I was reading every one else's and they all look SO YUMMY! 
    I also love fresh bread dipped in olive oil with some tasty cheese (I wish cheese and carbs were the answer to my infertility...)

  • @cashewchicken Mmm...pineapple buns :) There is nothing quite like the smell of freshly baked bread.  The first time I went over to DH's apartment when we were dating he had bread baking in a bread machine (he likes to have it handy as a vehicle for cheese during the week), and I thought "this guy is ridiculous!"

    @nmd9168  I could also eat Haribo gummy bears for days - they have the best texture!  Almonds are healthy though :)

    So many guilty pleasure foods - I go back and forth between sweet and savory. I am not allowed to buy Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal in bulk at Costco.  I guess I like the cinnamon/sugar combo generally (churros, snickerdoodles).  For savory, I could probably eat pizza every day, and I like good skinny French fries.  Lately, I could also eat a whole bag of cheddar sun chips (which also have sugar in them).

    *Sigh* Carbs are evil/poison :( I'm lucky I generally eat better because DH cooks lunches for me to take to work, but I tend not to "count" junk food laying around the office or for which I don't pay :p

  • OMG guys, I don't even think of fresh bread as being a "guilty pleasure". My H sometimes bakes white bread and we'll have it fresh out of the oven with butter, and I've actually said to him: "this is one of life's great pleasures". Like, it makes me happy to be alive. I feel no guilt. Hahahaha. 

    Cinnamon buns on the other hand - really gooey ones with cream cheese icing - those I only eat once every 2-3 years. But when I do, I LOVE them.
