As with the others, I imagine these are highly personalized lists. What are yours?
Rice crispy treats (esp if they’re warm) – definitely. Doritos & french onion dip. Guacamole.
Thanks for making me hungry!
Worth it: whipped cream, french fries, queso dip, butter and cheese, all sorts
Not worth it: cake, hummous, pizza, pop
i’m afraid i have to move both baileys and mochas up to the “worth it” list. OOH, IN FACT! perhaps baileys IN a mocha! man, now i want that.
Worth it:
-Butter
-Popcorn
-Snicker bars
-Any type of cheese
Bot worth it
-Potato chips
I think Italian beefs are worth it, but only if you get them from Portillos. Otherwise you’ll be disappointed and it will NOT be worth it!
I rarely drink Bailey’s, but had some in my coffee on Sunday before the Bears game and YUM!
OK, I don’t have a whole list but I will say for the most part, drinks aren’t worth the calories to me. I’d as soon drink Crystal Light or water.
Oh yes, I have MANY of these. Like, a doughnut is worth it; a muffin from the doughnut shop is not. The alcohol is worth it; the stuff mixed with it is not. Peanut M&Ms are worth it; potato chips are only worth it if I stop after A Serving, otherwise not worth it. Fast food is often worth it to me, but only if it’s RIGHT: fries have to be perfect, etc.
Totally with you on the cheesecake, white sauces of pasta, sweet and sour chicken, and the muffins at the coffeeshop. Doughnuts usually aren’t worth it for me, nor are a good number of chocolate bars.
Worth it for me:
date squares and really good vanilla ice cream.
homemade pizza
Coffee ice cream.
