Before I offend anybody with my opinions about not harming these deliciously unhealthy foods with something healthy, just know that I would love to hear if you have tried something successful (or unsuccessful) with any of these dishes. You can certainly make your own decisions about what to eat : )
Now to the food!
- Chocolate Chip Cookies
- As I say in my little bio "...nothing is better than a warm, homemade chocolate chip cookie". I would consider it nearly a crime to use whole wheat flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, or flax seed "eggs" in a chocolate chip cookie. Make them right or don't make them.
- Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
- I don't think I have ever seen a "healthified" version of biscuits and gravy. Probably because it would be impossible to make it any good. Give me that delicious ole' pile of carbs and fat and I'm happy!
- THIS Strawberry Jam
- I have never considered jam to be anything but sugar anyway. Yes, there is fruit, but it's drowning in sugar. I don't mind. How much jam do you really put on a piece of toast anyway? Won't be finding any sugar-free or chia seed jam in my fridge. Plus, Marshall really likes this jam!
- Cheesy Sausage Dip
- This dip is made of Velveeta, salsa, and sausage. I don't need to explain why this isn't healthy. However, making this dip is not a common occurrence. So when I do make it, I eat it and I enjoy it. No questions asked, no guilt.
- Cheesecake
- No reduced sugar, low-fat cheesecake for me! I would much prefer to eat it rarely and eat it right.
Any favorites you would never dare change?
Ha! Great post. Totally on board with #1 and #3. I've never had #4, but it seems like there would be a way to make it with healthy ingredients (if you believe fat is healthy).
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a believer in dietary fat : ) It took me a while to come to that conclusion though.
DeleteI am definitely with you on the chocolate chip cookies and the cheesecake! I probably have too many others I would also add. =) ...just sayin'
ReplyDeleteMarshall and I started today with a cookie and thought of you ; )
