A few of my favorite things...

I've developed a renewed taste for sweets and I thought I'd share some of my favorite indulgences...

1. Whole Foods Bakery Mini Desserts - Now these are especially delightful since they are about the size of a thumb print and don't make you feel so guilty when you eat them... even when you buy 6 to last the week and eat them all in one day! Because they are "minis" it's ok! My favs are the oatmeal cookie pie, cupcake and fruit cobbler.

2. McD's McFlurry's - Now I've always been a fan of my ice cream and I thought this was a nice treat since McD's uses nonfat yogurt and just a 'touch' of M&Ms... so why not order a medium?! I caution anyone who's pregnant to NOT look at nutritional guides and simply indulge without the guilt. Unfortunately, I looked at the nutritional guide... so now I just order the small!

3. Key Lime Pie - Oooooohhhhh how I love this dessert! Another fav from Whole Foods, because they have 1 step up from a "mini dessert" to a "personal dessert". Now the personal dessert is just large enough to keep me from ordering two, but definitely not to large to finish all in one serving!

4. Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshakes from BR - An old favorite! I love getting this one - mint chocolate chip ice cream is definitely my favorite and having it all mixed up so I can drink it through a straw while I go to the park and sit on the bench to watch all those scary skinny and way to active walkers/runners (hate it when I see a pregnant lady doing the walk to make me feel guilty... shame on them)! Again, I caution anyone who watches BR make this little jewl... I turned my head after the 4th scoop of ice cream was added to the blender.

5. Sour Patch Kids - Weird, I know! But I can go through a bag of these in one sitting (the big bag from the airport). This was my staple when I was flying every week... It's also my favorite movie snack, road trip snack, and just overall daily non-guilt sweet treat!

I love it!! I smile especially big at the mint chocolate chip ice cream because it reminds me that you are allergic to chocolate sprinkles! :)
