nutritious junk

The other day I went to Penguins to get my weekly rations of Carb a Whey.  After getting out of my car I realized I was in the mood from some kind of carby sweet.

I love baked goods.  I’m what you’d call a baked good whore.  I’ll do anything for a cookie, cake, donuts, brownie…well maybe not anything.  I refuse to paint my body neon pink and jump into an ice-cold vat of Jell-O!  Well, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way we can talk more about my love for sweet, wheaty treats.  Cookies and brownies are pretty easy for me; I’ll eat any of them.  But cake is harder.  I’m very picky about my icing to cake ratio and I’ve never really found one that suites me.  Yes, I realize that all the foods I’ve just listed, in their natura

While in Boston I paroosed the grocery stores in the same way I would paroose a clothing store.  I didn’t actually need anything but damn if I wasn’t going to try to find something new and different, at least to me.  I came across many items that went all over the country and I could have no problem finding at home.  Then I saw the stuff of my parent’s childhood, Tastykake.  I really hope someone knows about Tastykake because it always seems to be a big thing when my family goes to Boston or Philly, which is the hometown of both of them.  Tastykake are like those Little Debbie treat

I’m a chick, and as a chick I must have chocolate.  Though I don’t really like chocolate all by its lonesome I will pretty much inhale anything that has it in its ingredients list.  Unfortunately, a lot of the time, with chocolate-laced foods comes a colossal amount of calories and fat.  Because I’m a whore for new products I was all yippy ki yay when Glennys, the makers of soy crisps, came out with brownies.  They’ve now been out for a little while and they are no longer just in specialty stores, I found mine at 7-11.  Glennys has jumped on the 100 calorie bandwagon with their 10

You scream, I scream, we all scream for…hopefully you know the end. But there’s one thing we don’t scream for, and that’s for calories. It seemed that all was lost trying to find low calorie and tasty ice cream that was a little more filling. That’s when I was introduced to Carb a Whey. Low cal soft serve in like a zillion different flavors.

Remember the days of Sesame Street and the big blue guy always chomping
away at cookies? Well, because of Americans proneness to obesity and
the hope of catching them young, Cookie Monster has changed his diet to
healthier fruit and veggies. Who am I to poopoo this newer development
of trying to instill healthier eating habits into the minds of youths?
But seriously…Cookie Monster? Leave it to Americans to try and let a
blue fur carpet with eyes and a hand up his bum show children the way
to a healthy lifestyle. If only they had looked a little further into

I realized i havent really been giving many recipes lately which is a shame because i love cooking, anyhow, be prepared for more recipe posts. heres a great one for creme brulees. If you ever wonder what else you can do with the very healthy Greek yogurt, this creme brulee is an excellent way to utilize it. Plus, you if your making this for others, they'll think your a culinary genius (because when i think of creme brulee, i think of some french chef with a blow torch).

ahh jello, that thing that looks like blubber but suprisingly is a common diet dessert. To be honest, i was never a jello fan (the gelatin, not the pudding, i am crazy about pudding!). I make my own jello at home using gelatin mix, crytal light or kool aid, and fresca, i prefer it to conventional jello. but jello recently came out with these new "fruit passions" which is basically little tubs of jello with chunks of fruit inside. Not a very original idea, i've seen this in many pot lucks, picnics, and recipie books, only not made into little individual cups, more like giant strange molds. Anyhow, i tryied the strawberries and peach cause those are my favorite fruits. Each cup has 70 calories (other flavors vary), <1g>
