You know those cute little tiny containers of Ben & Jerry's? I got three of them at the grocery store a few days ago. I thought, this will be a great way to indulge in a little ice cream without overdoing it!
That night I ate the Chocolate Fudge Brownie one. And even after licking the inside out with my tongue, it wasn't enough. Not nearly enough. So I grabbed another (also Chocolate Fudge Brownie), and would've eaten the third if Gabi hadn't thrown a fit about how it was supposedly HERS. Whatever. I didn't really want her Strawberry ice cream after such delicious chocolate anyway.
Not being able to satisfy my chocolate craving lit a massive chocolate craving fire under my quickly enlarging pregnant butt. The next day I made super rich brownies, with dark chocolate frosting. Whoever invented brownies has done this world an incredible favor, and these brownies did not disappoint in any way.
When that was all gone, I went and got all the stuff to make Chocolate Fudge Pie. Which was amazing! Each creamy, chocolaty bite melted in my mouth and tasted like heaven.
But now I have an extra crust and I can't bear to let it go to waste, so I'm going with my gut and making a Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie tomorrow (anyone have a super great recipe?). And some Banana Bread with Ghiradelli chocolate chips because if I'm baking, I might as well make some bread, too. And I have the stuff for Chocolate Chip Cookies, the thought of which are making me salivate. So that's a definite yes on the cookies.
The lesson here? DO NOT BUY THOSE LITTLE CONTAINERS OF BEN & JERRY'S. Go for the big container and just get it over with in one go.
I've got the large container (HaagenDazs Choco-PB), and it has never done me wrong.
ReplyDeleteCan I interest you in moving to Texas??? Seriously, we would be the BESTEST pregnant buds, I'm just sure of it!!!
ReplyDeleteomg Chocolate Fudge Brownie is the best!!! YUM!!!
ReplyDeleteCheck the Pioneer Woman's site for the PB pie recipe . . . I am pretty sure she has posted one within the last couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteHard lesson to learn:-) I wish I had a great recipe for you but, I don't have that in my repertoire:-(
ReplyDeleteok first and formost, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! Second, can I vote girl now? or do I have to wait till your closer?
ReplyDeleteOkay, while B&J sounds all good...my ABSOLUTE fav is Haagen Dazs hands dosn..flavor?... you might find yourself asking?.. Dulce de Leche..it is to die for. Of course I am not crazy crazy about chocolate ice cream either...
ReplyDeleteANYWAY, i think you should send your recipe for banana bread over ASAP...I am thinking some of that would help the homesickness abate :) or at least make me feel slightly better haha! Although Sidnei made me an Abacache (avacado) e banana smoothie tonight...and it was REALLY good!!
And I've been meaning to write you back! I will! Sidnei is at school tomorrow and I FINALLY finished ironing all the clothes...except for the ones that got washed today! But it shouldnt take long and then the computer is mine all mine!! :) Posting, emailing, skyping...I'll be a happy girl...now you might be asking yourself...when is the comment EVER going to end??...
That would be now.
Oh, I forgot to mention...if you do ever have the pleasure of making it to Texas, make sure to have some BlueBell Ice Cream. I swear it blows the pants off any ice cream you've ever tasted. You will SO NOT REGRET IT!!
ReplyDeleteUm, I am sitting here with my stomach growling because of your yummy post!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion this is one of the great perks of being pregnant :)
Umm....can I just get a YUMMY??! Girl, you put my sweet tooth to shame!!! I made some cookies this morning - I used a brownie mix. Pretty tasty, and quick! :-)
ReplyDeleteI am totally coming over to your place to hang out. :) I saw those little containers the other day too, but you are right, definitely need to buy the bigger size!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have eaten like that when I was first pregnant. I was so sick for the first 5 months, I could barely keep anything down.
You go girl!!!
Chocolate rocks! The muffins at Souplantation with some swirl yogurt over them and a little chocolate and caramel syrup? Heaven.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD YOU ARE KILLING ME.
ReplyDeletePlease invite me over for these brownies and pies. It's like dessert blue balls over here.
LOL! The same could be said about the little containers of Haagen Dazs! Just buy the big containers ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're so correct. The bigger the better. Then , IF you don't eat the whole entire thing, ya feel better! lol
ReplyDeleteI just discovered those tiny containers the other day! I didn't buy one (or 2 or 5), since I was already buying a gallon for Samantha's party. However, now I know not to bother with the tiny containers and just go with the bigger ones. Oh, but to try all the different flavors! Hmmm...what to do?
