I must learn some self-control

[Miss Chicken]

Yesterday (Sinday) I baked my first lot of shortbread for Xmas day. By last night my son and me had eaten it all. Now I decided to leave the rest of the baking until Christmas Eve as I can't resist shortbread.

What foods do you really find it hard to resist?

EDITED TO ADD - I am especially talking about Christmas foods but not solely about them.

 

[John Clark]

Shortbread's a weakness of mine too.

Most types of chocolate too

Home baking never goes far enough.

As a rule: however much you think you want, always bake double.

Pumpkin pie is always an endangered species in my house.

 

[October Surprise]

Crisps. Especially Doritos. I've done very well at kicking that habit this year, and I refuse to give in now, dammit!

 

[MIB]

Eggnog. I can't get enough of it. God help my lactose sensitive digestive tract.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Chocolate Chip Cookies and Brownies, especially homemade. I could eat them until I explode.

 

[Gertch]

Pecan Puffs. They are so sugary and buttery good that I restrict myself to only a couple a year. But there are plenty of others in the house that will finish them off.

My wife also used these in a trial for thumbprint cookies with strawberry jam. I'm usually the baker but being under the weather she's filling in nicely. I'm just trying not to fill out.

That's why I can only buy them every once in a while. I'll eat a whole large bag or two in one sitting if i have them.

My wife makes a pumpkin bread that is awesome. Can't ever make enough of it to suit me.

Amen. Those big bags are the work of the devil.

i've never really had trouble resisting food of any kind. in fact not infrequently i'll just forget to eat.

Warm chocolate chip cookies. It's why I don't bake them irl too often.

 

[Trippy]

Oh...chocolate of any shape or size, or in anything else

Chocolate and I have had an unhealthy love affair all my life!

That's adorable.
I had a bout last week with Gingerbread Man Ice Cream Sandwiches. They are beyond awesome. Ate 3 in one night, had one for breakfast the next day, finished the box that night. Went and got more. They were out! Nothing but the stupid Snowman and Santa ones that have no gingerbread. I need my fix, dammit!

Baklava
Marshmellows
Pumpkin cookies
Blueberry muffins

Mashed Potatoes and Gravy....the real kind not that abomination in a box
Honey cured Ham....*drool*
EggNogg with brandy
Jalapeno Poppers with cream cheese filling
Green Bean casserole

Chicken Wings.

Throw in a few beers and I'll happily eat four dozen.

Chicken Wings.

Throw in a few beers and I'll happily eat four dozen.

That equals no more than a chicken breast, I'd say... and 2 cups of butter.

Pasta. Any shape or form of pasta. I started eating it to put on weight and even when I realised I had got too heavy - I couldn't stop.

This has resulted in an unhealthy addiction of three pasta related meals a day.

Though when I'm baking I can't keep a cake fo longer than 20 minutes.
