tequila and orange juice

Donuts and sugar cookies. I have to say, I haven't indulged in them for a very long time. Yea me.

Baklava, tomato soup with a grilled cheeze sammich. Who started this thread anyway? Thanks for the insulin spike.

Cashews and macadamias-I can't stop eating them, esp the macadamias-they are just so buttery good! This summer I ate 8 bags in about 8 weeks! Glad I don't have any right now.

Gah, other people's cryptonite is my cryptonite too, apparently, since reading this thread got me drooling!

Salty chips and Coke Classic!!

Now? (ya know this changes with seasons!)

Those damn Christmas Tree's from Little Debbie, Reeses peanut butter trees, Peppermint mocha fraps from starbucks, do I really need to go on? What about those dadgum cranberry bliss bars from starbucks too?!

Little Debbie is an evil witch!

The potato chips is definitely an issue. Had a REALLY weak day yesterday and ate a half bag of the Lay's Kettle Cooked Original potato chips last night.

Hoo boy---
cookies/ bakery cake with thick icing/ milk chocolate/ coffee (which I can't have because it aggravates other health issues)/ and deep-dish pizza.

Sweet/ doughy/ or adrenal rush!

Don't we all know how that goes.... as I was saying in another thread, while I used to be a real bread addict before -although I fell face first in any of the mentioned carbs in this thread in my days!- my kryptonites over the past year are SF stuffs and supposingly LC treats. They are now out altogether, right_now is right! SF gum throws me over the edge and I'll have hundreds if they're available, LC bread I wasn't binging on (at 2.7 carbs a slice it's not fitting to do so!) but it would instantly make me ravenous for other things, Diet Coke which I don't even like in non LC circumstances was tipping me over the edge and yes, I am an Equal/Splenda freebasing addict.

I think along with the "absolute abstinence" decision, what helped is that I had an "A-HA" moment a couple of weeks ago when I was complaining how I can't stop while shoving two more SF gum pieces in my mouth my mister said "But you can, you could right now, you could decide to limit the day's damage and not throw those two back" and I did and thought "That's right, I can!" and found it really efficient, cathartic and empowering stupid as it sounds .

<Sigh> So many things for me. I can relate to the macadamias as I can't even buy a jar without eating them all at one sitting. But it's mostly sweet things that tempt me, anything chocolate, Ben and Jerry's ice cream, homemade Toll House cookies warm from the oven with plenty of walnuts and melty chocolate chips, my homemade Awesome Coconut Cake which is indeed totally awesome and to swoon for. Thank God for bacon. It's about the only thing that satisfies me when I get cravings for bad stuff like those above.

this guy at work is talking about making mac n cheese with a roux. i love making this, almost more than i like eating it! sigh sigh sigh. cooking with a roux is like heaven. never again.

I made a roux using a bit of coconut flour and it turned out quite well. Expert Food's notStarch product works pretty well too and is virtually zero carb.

Wow, thank you so much! For some reason I was under the impression that rouxes worked because of gluten, but i guess this doesn't make any sense because you're binding the flour with an oil and then forcing it into an emulsion w/water. Coconut flour, brilliant.
