I bought the little mini angle food cakes at Costco today. We also bought some fresh blackberries and raspberries. Put the cake in a bowl and filled it with berries and a little skim milk. Sprinkled about a teaspoon of Splenda on top. Delish, filling, and under 200 calories.

Sounds great, except for when you ruined it with Splenda.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Yum. Angel food cake is a nice little way to cheat the system because it has almost zero fat, low carbs, and relatively few calories for a dessert.Originally posted by CJF View Post
Splenda leaves a weird aftertaste for me. I don't like it. Did you have to learn to enjoy the taste?
My wife went to costco yesterday and bought a box of Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches. I had one last night. Those things are pretty dang good, I was impressed. 140 calories and a few grams of fat never tasted so good.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I haven't fallen in love with Splenda. I'm no Nikuman, but I've lost over 20 pounds since April 1st. A lot of that has to do with just completely cutting out most things with sugar. I just started adding some desserts back this week. So a teaspoon or so on some berries doesn't taste bad at all. This morning we made almond butter pancakes. They were awesome. We made syrup that was 1 pint of fresh strawberries, about 1/3 cup of Splenda, and 1/2 cup of water. The almond pancakes and that syrup was very good, but that much Splenda has that funky aftertaste. It is not bad, but you can taste it. Still, it was a good breakfast.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View Post
For lunch today we had chicken lime tequila sausages. 100 calories per sausage. Whole wheat bun. My wife and I each had one and a half. With the bun and toppings, under 300 calories and filling. Tastes like I'm cheating the diet but not.
I looked at the Skinny Cow bars yesterday. I'm not a big fan of ice cream sandwiches unless they have Toll House cookies as the bread. I was going to ask people on here if they had tried them and if so if they were good. I'll pick some up my next time there.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad AliComment

I would go to the grocery store and just buy a small pack of Skinny Cows first, to make sure you dig them. No need buying a 72-hour kit worth of ice cream sandwiches if you don't like them after one bite. The one downer about buying them at costco is that you only can get vanilla or chocolate. At the store, you can get mint, peanut butter, vanilla, chocolate, cookie and cream and strawberry. They come in a pack of 5 or 6 for a few bucks.Originally posted by CJF View PostFitter. Happier.

The greatest dessert ever is tiramisù.

Angel food cake is a waste of dessert. It tastes like a sugar-coated dish sponge.
Il Pad has the right idea. My two favorite desserts are tiramisu and creme brulee.What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

Rum is actually optional for tiramisù. It's added frequently, but not required.Originally posted by nikuman View Post"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

My favorite dessert is a slice of hot blackberry pie or cobbler topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
A close second (maybe a tie) would be a hot chocolate souffle. I am especially partial to the one they serve at Roy's.
