If you like to indulge in ice cream and whip cream too, have I got a post for you!

How did you guess my weakness is Ice Cream. It actual would be last thing on earth that I would give up.

By 10:30 this morning I’d been good and made bread and been naughty and made cookies….thats the second time this week we’ve done that and this time some were actually saved for my husband to have when he got home from work.

The entire nine months I was nursing my son I couldn’t have dairy products because my having dairy would give him tummy problems. Do you know how hard it is to live right behind Braums?!!?!? And, how terribly difficult it was to pass the frozen section in the grocery store? Oh yes, and now that I can have the dairy again, hubby is on a diet. So, I am trying to be extra sensitive and not keep Ice Cream in the house. Man, it’s hard! But, if I had just a pint at a time… well, I could eat it all before he knew it was there… or, I could hide it! I bet a pint is easier to hide than a half gallon!! haha

I can eat whipped cream by itself. Love Reddi Whip!!

And yes, I promise to eat my veggies!

Darkest secret? No matter how healthy we stock the pantry and fridge, I have chocolate hidden somewhere!!

My favorite thing is to have Edy’s Espresso Chip ice cream late at night. Of course, it’s not good for you or your waistline but it’s so good!

I love ice cream and Ben and Jerry’s with Redi Whip well, that is just about the best. I have 5 children all under the age of 9 and when bedtime rolls around I need a treat. Wouldn’t it be great if I could have a pint of ice cream. I think it revitalize me to get back on the mom wagon the next morning. I guess I could share a little bit with my husband, too.
Darkest secret is that I sometimes have ice cream for breakfast. Did I just say that? It’s out now, oh, well. Ice-cream here I come.

My favorite thing is french fries dipped in sour cream or a mixture of mustard and mayo. Either grosses my family out but the mustard mayo does it more than the sour cream. heehee.

being a Mom of 7, I need all the ice cream I can get to appease the crowd! Hey, it’s the truth.

I could eat a whole tray of lemon bars on my own! But I do usually manage to restrain myself…

Not much of a secret from anyone who knows me, but brownies are not! safe around me. I’ll sneak as many as I can get away with.

Don’t even mention ice cream in the same room!

Okay, here’s why I would like to win a year’s worth of Ben and Jerry’s.

Maybe, if I had 2 coupons a month to use for ice cream, then I’d limit my indulgences to only twice a month.

ya think?

I hope so, anyway.

I love ice cream. I love Redi Whip. Put them together and I’m a happy girl.

Some of my other favorites are sweet tea. I drink it daily. I am cranky if I don’t. I also have a deep passion for McDonald’s french fries. It’s humiliating that I will knock down children for fries. I’m currently seeking counseling.

Gasp!
Did you say ICE CREAM and whip cream? I would SOOO love to win this.

hmmm….here’s a little “Food” secret for ya. I hide certain snacks from the kids and eat them when they go to bed. OR SOMETIMES you can catch me in the pantry stuffing my mouth before they walk in. I KNOW….Terrible huh?

:Hanging head in shame:
LOL

I just found your blog recently - I love it!

I am a recent Ben and Jerry’s convert. I must confess that during the last sale I bought 8 (yes, EIGHT) pints!!! I have a problem. Ironically I had to get reddi whip also so we could make sundaes for dessert.

Thanks!

I DO eat veggies and whole grain bread, I do! But I also buy Hershey bars a six pack at a time to dole out square by square throughout the day…

And I keep Ben and Jerry’s Cheesecake Brownie behind the snap peas in the freezer to eat late at night while reading blogs. Right now I’m out- help!

OMG! I want some already- chunky monkey or peach cobbler- oh boy! It’s on! But, really I had one of these deepest darkest moments last night!!! I picked up easy cheese out of the can and a box of chicken and a biskit’s. To top it off I ate it with the Oatmeal and Cranberry cookies.I honestly don’t know what I was thinking- having a childhood moment, I guess. My friends and I used to eat that stuff like it was goin’ out of style…she always had it at home and my mom would never buy anything like that (easy cheese). Oh! and I’m a fan of pickles and peanut butter…but they have to be the pickle chips with smooth PB!

I am an ice cream eater like the rest of you.I can not seem to get enough I even have my kids hooked. My favorite is Bryers no sugar added chocolate. Reddi whip has the BEST chocolate whipped topping ever. I will not tell a lie I do not eat my veggies like I should but I promise to get better and eat at least one veggie serving a day from now on.

My darkest food secret hmmmmm well I don’t tell my husbad when I use ground turkey in his pasta sauce. He thinks he is getting red meat but he isn’t. Please don’t tell him, hey I know if I win the B&J’s I will let him have it to make up for all the deceit.

When I was pregnant with boy #3, it was a very hot August and the only thing that went down well was icecream. Since then whipped cream added to icecream has become my favorite thing…and to think that boy was born 26 years ago!!!
Eat healthy??….ya, but Ben and Jerry’s IS healthy

I absolutely LOVE ice cream. Ben & Jerry’s specifically. I would love to win this! Heck I deserve this because I’m a Mom. And being a Mom is tough work! So yeah I deserve ice cream and whipped cream! And yes, yes, I PROMISE to eat my veggies too….

One of my deepest, darkest food secrets is…..sometimes I’ll buy pre-made cookie dough from the grocery store with the intention of making the cookies, but instead I eat the dough raw. And I don’t share either.

Boo. I know, I’m bad.

Ice cream is like heaven in a bowl, or cone, or cup, however you like it. B & J’s even has lowfat choices (did I just say that?). My dessert secret? I love to sneak nestle chocolate chips and eat a bunch right out of the bag. Now give me some ice cream! : )

Ice cream is one of my absolute favorite indulgences, however I usually don’t stretch the budget to include it - it is a rare treat. But when I have it, I will go to the freezer many times during the day for a couple of spoonfuls - to spread out the ice cream joy! And when I do splurge and buy it, I will sometimes hide it behind something so no one else knows it’s there. I know - such a bad mom!
To be able to buy two pints a month would be an absolute dream - and my kids would get to enjoy it more too!!

Count me in for this one!! I have two cannisters of Reddi Whip in my fridge now. I have to make sure I don’t ever run out.

I deserve it because I have three sons, who as you know will eat you out of house and home - ESPECIALLY ice cream! It’s my baby’s favorite “qweet” (treat)! He comes by it honestly though - his Mommy never met an ice cream she didn’t like!! (A tub of Cherry Garcia or anything with raspberrry or caramel is doomed - I may not even share!)

i am addicted to this whip cream-i have 2 in my house right now. we always have it with strawberries!

Okay, this is so embarassing, but for the sake of a year’s worth of ice cream and whipped cream, here I go!

Right now, I have hidden away a large bag of real (not baked!) extra cheesey Cheetos. Not generic. The real deal. Hidden away from my two “HOOVERS” who eat every snack food that is not nailed down. Hidden from The Boss (my hub) who gets the munchies every. single. night. at 9:20 p.m. Hidden from my two little ones’ radar that prompts endless repetitions of “Can I have some Mommy?” over. and over. and over. and over.

There. I said it. Embarassing enough for ya? And oddly enough, this might also be an excellent explanation for exactly WHY I deserve a year’s supply of Chunky Monkey and Chubby Hubby.

I canNOT believe I just told you ALL this. I’m going to bury my face in a bowl of hot buttered popcorn. Can’t break out the Cheetos, everyone is still awake and in the living room.

OHHHHH BOY!
Ben And Jerry’s is my absolute favorite Ice cream. I got hooked in college and then I got married. It rarely goes on sale so there is no justification for full price purchase and our budget is too tight to not buy it on Sale so I Would LOVE!!! to win this!

I grew up not caring one way or another about Ice cream until I met Ben and jerry’s. I have really enjoyed they flavors that have a core of fudge or caramel! I have also been to the Ben and Jerry’s factory in Vermont! It’s a fun place to visit!

I love licorice…I sometimes buy a box of Good and Plentys and eat them all myself, in one sitting, with out any kids getting any!
I love whipped cream. When I did the Atkins diet, whipped cream was allowed, because it is very low in carbs, so that was my dessert!
Thanks for the giveaway…I promise to share!

I confess, when my hubby and I pull out the ice cream (frequently) after the kids are in bed, we don’t bother with the bowls. Just a couple of spoons and a tub of delectable ice cream, sometimes with toppings right inside the container. The kids never have to know…

I love ice cream so much I blog as Ice Cream Mama!

Let’s see food secrets…I ALWAYS have chocolate hidden somewhere, if my husband were to eat my Ben & Jerry’s Vermonty Python I may have to seriously injure him and well, I don’t have many food secrets! I love food and most people know it!

Why do I deserve the Ben & Jerry’s and Redi-Whip? I’m not sure I deserve it more than anyone else but I sure could use it! I have a 17yr old, a 5yr old and a 3 month old. While I was on maternity leave I got laid off from my job. Now B & J is just not in my budget. If you pick me, you just might be saving me from a nervous breakdown !

I promise to keep eating my veggies and eating healthy but ice cream and whipped topping is my favorite indulgence. I have lost over 80 lbs since starting my new healthy lifestyle and I still have my favorite dessert while watching my portion size of course so I think I deserve to win this. I don’t have any deep dark food secrets unless you count that I used to drink more than 5+ cans of soda a day AND I was addicted to Oreos but since 2005 I have not touch either.

I would love me some B & J’s Jamaican Me Crazy sorbet and some light Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, with Reddi-wip on top of course LOL

I look forward to MY TIME each night after the kids and hubby go to bed. I make a humongous mug of hot cocoa, get out the Reddi Wip and indulge. Sometimes, I throw in a little ice cream, too. It maintains my sanity and keeps me fueled for the next day. It really makes me a better mom. I hope I win. Thank you!

secret food thing: i eat bananas with peanut butter, choco chips, and marshmallows for breakfast.

Most of my life I have avoided veggies, but just this year I’ve learned that you can cook veggies and they are suddenly yummier. Why did it take me so long to find other ways of eating veggies? I have no idea. >_> Anyway my deep dark food secret is that I love cheetohs. I can’t resist them at all if they are in my house. Every time I’m in the kitchen or even walk past the kitchen I have to stop and eat a few. I might even go and eat some right now. I have no control when it comes to their finger staining goodness.

*sigh*

Been known to hide cookie dough in the freezer so I can come down in the middle of the night and eat it.

I totally eat my veggies. (And ice cream too

My deepest, darkest secret? The deepest, darkest chocolate available. My husband brings home a bar of very dark chocolate to me weekly, surprising me with different brands and add-ins.

I also love my late-night ramekin full of ice cream or frozen yogurt, too.

If I won, it’d be heaven.

Oohhhh….I love cookies and brownies. We had brownies for dessert last week and my 9 year old moaned, “I don’t want to go to school tomorrow…because I know the rest of the brownies will be gone by the time we get home!!”

What a yummy and amazing giveaway

Deep dark secret. . . . My birthday cake one year was a tub of chocolate chip cookie dough. To make it look pretty my husband bought a can of whip cream. The following year we did Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream with a small cake. Can you tell there is a cookie dough theme here?

I
Can
Enjoy

Creamy
Reddi-Wip
Every &

Month!

Food Secret? I use the fact that I’m pregnant AND still nursing to justify eating almost anything I want! That includes the veggies, whole grains, dairy, etc…but plenty of the indulgent stuff, too!

Food

Deserve it? Nah, but I surely would like to win it!

Well yes, reddi wip and ice cream are two foods I definitely love! I’ve eaten half a pound cake with ice cream - although at least I was pregnant when I did this! I hope I win!

If it weren’t for ice cream and chocolate chip cookies, I would be a much skinnier girl. They are my only two weaknesses. I don’t drink soda or coffee — just water. It’s my ice cream justification. Why drink calories when you could save them up for ice cream? Yummy! (Ben & Jerry’s is my favorite too!)

I once ate a 1 lb bag of m&m’s in almost one sitting. Which is why I don’t normally buy ice cream even though I love it. If I win then it would save me a lot of time and money from walking to Dairy Queen all summer. (How is buying ice cream from DQ somehow better than keeping ice cream in my freezer?)

I have three children ages 4, 3, and 7months and one on the way. I, like you, eat healthy but hey a mom has to indulge every once in awhile….and Ben and Jerry’s with Redi Whip sounds like a wonderful way to do that!

I promise to eat my veggies!!! One thing I can never give up is my icecream, it’s all about moderation!

laura_licious101(at)hotmail(dot)com

My absolute favorite dessert ever is chocolate ice cream with Reese’s pieces. Oh my, it’s heaven! When I was pregnant with my son I craved it non-stop.

oh my, oh my, oh my. even though 2 a month is not really even close to a years supply in this household, it would be a fanTAStic win…count me in!

I absolutely love ice cream, and pretty much any other dessert, but right now, I’m nursing a son with severe food allergies. He couldn’t have formula, even if I wanted him too, so I am stuck on a corn free (no corn syrup, corn starch, fructose, etc), egg free diet. I’m wasting away right now on my all natural, homemade, healthy for both of us diet. Once he’s weaned in a few months, I’ll definitely need that free ice cream and reddi-wip to get back to a normal weight and treat myself a little. Oh, and have a I mentioned I have two other kids to chase around too while I’m busy doing all that cooking…?

Great blog. I love it!

I have always had an ice cream addiction and I ate a bowl a night while I was pregnant with my first two girls! Now, I am pregnant with my third and to my horror, I had an aversion to ice cream for the first three months!! I couldn’t stand the stuff!! I was in shock really. Well, thankfully, my hormones have calmed down and my love for ice cream has returned! So if I won I could make it up to the ice cream and try to earn it’s forgiveness for forsaking it for 3 months. After I eat my veggies of course!! Besides ice cream, my deep dark food secret is 3 musketeers. Especially the mini’s! I am ashamed to admit how many of those I’ve eaten at one time!

Yummy, yummy, yummy! I would would love to win…in fact I think my husband would love it just as much as i would!

My kids go through ice cream sandwiches like they’re going out of style. They would love to win ice cream and Reddi-wip for a year. Then their hands and mouths wouldn’t have the black residue from the ice cream sandwiches.

OK, here’s a deep, dark food secret from this week: Late Wednesday afternoon I picked up a large tub of Bluebell’s ‘Tin Roof’ icecream while out grocery shopping. Tin Roof happens to be my - and my hubby’s most fave flavor. I had a little bowl while preparing dinner (just a taste!) Then, after dinner hubby and I each had a big, healthy bowl of said ice cream for dessert. Mmmm, that left us full and happy, right?

I wish it were so. Several hours later and the sweet tooth was back. Long story short, that big tub of Tin Roof didn’t make it to the end of Wednesday.

And I wonder why I can’t shed those last 25 pounds of pregnancy weight . . .

I absolutely positively love ice cream and cool whip is another thing that drives me wild! One of my favorite ice cream flavors is Sticky Toffee Pudding from hagen daz. It has chunks of brown sugar cake with swirls of carmel and is to die for. I would love to win and endulge myself with a little Reddi Whip.

Since my days of playing high school basketball when I ate a milkshake ever single night before bed in an attempt to “fatten myself up”, I have had a real obsession with icecream (milkshakes in particular). After having four children I am working my weight in the other direction, so I don’t indulge nearly as frequently, but the desire is still there!! Oh, and all of my girls are ice cream lovers too.

[...] Year of Reddi-Wip and Ben Jerry’s Ice Cream By Contests4Moms | May 22, 2008 Where: 5 Minutes for Mom [...]

oh dear. here i go. When I had my first child, I began to appreciate the end of the day, last thing I could drag myself to do which was bathtime. I have always loved bubblebaths and insisted on a nightly ritual. I like the “idea” of champagne and bon-bons in a bubblebath but I am much too practical for that. Besides, I would pass out.
So began my “time for mom” routine. After a hard days work, after doting and nurturing everyone around me all day, bubblebaths were MY TIME. Bubblebaths and cupcakes, milk and girly magazines. Yes, that is my secret. I eat cupcakes ( or a cookie) in the bathtub. Well, it’s not ~really~ so different than bon bons, is it?

Deepest darkest food secret?
Friends and family think I must be so much healthier since I haven’t eaten chocolate in 3 years (it started giving me migraines). But I make up for it.
Oh peanut butter! Oh caramel! The new loves of my life! And sometimes, when I’m on an emotional eating spree, I head to the local ice cream shop for a cake batter malt. Heaven!

I often buy kids snacks “for the kids” and then end up eating most of them myself. My husband is equally guilty.

I also have been know to buy mommy snacks and deceive my children about their whereabouts.

Ben and Jerry’s phish food is my weakness. I could eat a whole carton of it…of course those cartons are small but WAY more then 1 serving unless you are a giant!

I hope you’re able to find the Reddi-Wip. You’re in for a real treat! I hereby promise to eat my veggies, and I’ll love every bit of them while I dream of Ben & Jerry’s. I’m also a big dessert freak. The first thing I do when we go out to dinner is look at the dessert menu so I can plan the rest of my meal accordingly.

My weakness is definitely sweets, to be specific: Ice Cream! I would also have to say another problem is too much pop!

Yummy!

What a fantastic giveaway! My food secret is that occasionally I’ll have sweets for breakfast - leftover cake, or even a small bowl of ice cream! Doesn’t exactly start the day on the right foot, but it sure is yummy.

My deepest darkest secret… I like dark chocolate! And mint… which means I really like York Peppermint Patties! And today I managed not to buy some at the store when they were buy 3 get 3 free (what kind of a deal is that anyway?)

My biggest indulgences are ice cream and fresh whole wheat bread with butter (not together obviously, lol). Ice cream is my biggest temptation. I recently tried Ben & Jerry’s Cake Batter ice cream and it’s my new all time favorite, if you haven’t tried it you really should. It tastes like yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting…heavenly I tell you! Yum!!!!! Now I really want some…*drool*

I would love this one! I, of course, would be kind and let my dear sweet hubby choose a flavor…mmm..once or twice!

oh my love for late night Ice Cream. This would be awesome. MMMMMM I can already taste it.

Um… ice cream pretty much IS my deep dark food secret! So if by some miracle this is open to Canadians than I deserve to win because I am just finishing my third bout of post partum depression, I haven’t slept through the night in 6 years, my 18 month old daughter appears to want to nurse until she is 7 or 8 years old and my breasts are not appreciating her zeal, and to top it all off I live in northeast Saskatchewan and we have no real flowers growing outside yet. But we do have mosquitoes.

Anyone with kids deserves free ice cream for a year. I have two and love the natural ingredients in Ben and Jerry’s! Hope it’s me who wins.

Don’t tell my kids or husband…but I spray Reddi Wip in my mouth when no one is around :O) learned that trick from my Mom!!!! please count me in for this one…thanks!!!

The first time I bought Redi Whip for the boys they said, “what’s it good on, mama?” I said, ” A spoon!”

My biggest addiction is ice cream and my deepest, darkest food secret is sometimes I buy ice cream and hide in our deep freeze so my husband will not find it. I then wait for him and my baby to go to sleep before bring out my secret stash. I deserve to win to help support my secret Mom’s only ice cream stash!! HeeHee!

i buy chocolate kisses when it is on sale–or not. just pure chocolate kisses. if see’s candies was closer, i’d buy the chocolate balls every two days and eat it.

i have secret places where i keep them so that they are easily accessible for me to secretly indulge.

BUT i DO eat my veggies as an example for the kiddos.

wow - reddi-whip and b&j’s!!! How awesome is that!! I’d love to win this!! My darkest secret? I truly do ADORE brussel sprouts! I could eat them all the time, of course they need to have some butter on them, but still…they are veggies. Thanks for offering this!

we love icecream in our house and I am about to attempt making and ice cream cake. I have the ice cream layer in the freezer. I will be making the cake tomorrow and later putting it all together. I would love to make a great ice cream cake with different flavors every month, plus my girls need to gain weght and ice cream is such a fun way to do it and the Rediwhip rocks, it is really good sprayed right on your tongue.

yummy! lol

I would love to have this but in all honesty I would give it to my sister. She has had one heck of a rough year and is a ben and Jerry’s freak! A few months ago my sister almost died in the tornados that swept through tennessee. She’s a student at Union University and the building collapsed on her. Anyway, she’s suffered all kinds of Post traumatic Stress syndrome, and other problems from coming so close to death that I think a year’s worth of her favorite icecream would be a nice little pick me up! Please pick me for my sister

ICE CREAM…..MUST HAVE ICE CREAM….
okay, so now you know dark secret….Ice cream!

When I lived in London, I loved passing the Ben and Jerry’s ads in the Tube. It made me feel “at home” since I come from NH and trips to the B&J factory in Vermont are an oft requested occurence when we have guests. So although I try not to eat B&J too often (or alone!) it brings back good memories and also bad - a few times, the Tube was closed down by bomb scares and I had to walk through the dark tunnels looking for the light…and the B&J ads!

This sounds do good. I have been trying to avoid all “sweets” in hopes to prevent gestational diabetes with my 2nd pregnancy. I have 4 months left to go and we will find out soon if my attempts have worked. This would be a great “prize” for my hard work. My hubby would enjoy it too!

i deserve this because i haven’t done anything for myself in a long time. i do head towards ice cream alot, because i’m depressed a lot, but due to money issues. i have to pull back. this would be great to win.

I have to admit that I indulge in (low fat) ice cream fairly regularly…I just usually don’t allow myself to indulge in Ben and Jerry’s though…it’s usually a little too rich for my blood!

But winning B and J’s would remind me of my college years in Providence because I would hike up to the top of College Hill with friends to go to the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream shop! Yum!

I could die right now! I LOVE Ben & Jerry’s, I love whip cream! I would love to win! Here’s my secret for you…I eat chocolate three times a day (after every meal) I don’t consider a meal complete unless I’ve eaten something sweet!

my kids would flip if I won this~ they LOVE ice cream!! dark secret: if I buy chocolate for myself, I hide it so my kids won’t know I have it so I can eat it when I want

Every once in a while I buy one of those giant cookies at the bakery and hide it in my desk and munch on it for a week. I don’t share it with anyone.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream at 3am! shhhh, don’t tell anyone!

Oh man!! What a prize! I TRY to eat healthy but I can’t always. I tell my husband, when he gives me a hard time, that I need sweets to cope! Having 2 boys (ages 1 and 3) can wear a mom out! I just tell him he’s lucky I’m addicted to sweets and NOT alcohol!

Yummy! Ice Cream and whipped cream are fantastic.
I buy can for my husband’s lunch and sneak a few when he isn’t looking.

That should be candy instead of can.

Ice cream
Ice cream
We all Scream for
Ice cream at our house

Especially Ben and Jerrys
Dark Chocolate Brownie! We were saving it for when we found out we were expecting number 2! It didn’t last that long. We would love to win more!

[...] 5 minutes for mom- a year supply of reddiwhip and ben and jerrys [...]

Considering I eat some ice cream almost every single day, this is the contest for me. And I live far far away from a Ben and Jerry’s (we can only get it at the grocery store) so I would love to win!

Reddi Whip is a constant in our house…. I actually think my fridge would loose the will to keep running if I didn’t have a can of Reddi Whip in it.
I love it on my homemade iced coffee and even straight out of the can. My kids LOVE Reddi Whip, it seems like they continualy bring it to me begging for ‘just a little bit more mom’, and I almost always indulge them, because life is to short not to.

I had some cravings during pregnancy. Most were fairly normal but there was the one day that I could not stop dipping lime tortilla chips in Nutella . . . that’s right, lime tortilla chips in a chocolate hazelnut spread. At the time, it tasted delicious!

All of this could have been avoided if I had a can of Reddi Whip in the fridge. Even as an adult, I can’t resist the childish behavior of filling my mouth with Reddi Whip directly from the can. I know, I’m ridiculous and a little embarrassed to share this secret.

Deepest, darkest food secret? When dieting I have sometimes skipped a meal just so I could have chocolate instead.

Maybe it is me - but I don’t want a year’s worth of either product. I had a blast 2 summers ago visiting the Ben and Jerry’s factory in Vermont - yet the thought of consuming these products so regularly has me a bit nauseas.

I’d far prefer a contest that would supply me with a year’s supply of fruits and vegetables. Seriously, produce is expensive and our family goes through a ton of it — and we don’t have a garden to grow our own here in Brooklyn.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I think most of the weight I gained was from all of the Ben & Jerry’s I ate during that summer. I still get a craving for it, so I usually end up heading to the store immediately grabbing a pint of brownie batter or the half baked. I just can’t help myself!

I have 2 major cravings — chocolate and ice cream. Put them together and my oh my, mi familia better not dare touch my ice cream sandwiches. Two chocolate chip cookies with rich vanilla ice cream and dipped in chocolate and chocolate chips. Add a side of chocolate chip cookie dough and heaven! Sounds a lot like chocolate chip cookie dough Ben and Jerry’s, huh? Now I can only imagine what adding a heap of reddi whip to my addiction would taste like. I may never leave the kitchen!

mmm.. deep dark..watching soaps and dipping hershey bar into jif peanut butter..hope to win..I can taste chunkey monkey with whipped cream!
3beez at bellsouth dot net

I think my sister-in-law, Crystal of Life At The Circus, is MORE than deserving of such a fantastic prize! Ice cream, especially cookie dough, is her FAVORITE treat! And trust me, this woman needs a treat!

She’s a true super mom. You can check her blog out for more details, but she takes excellent physical and spiritual care of her kids, husband, and the family dog. She serves in her church and even mentors young girls!

I don’t know what her dark food secret is, but I imagine it has something to do with the fact that she eats ice cream but loses her baby weight so fast!

I often eat peanut butter and chocolate chips as a snack. With a spoon. It’s yummy.

And I keep a chocolate stash, but I have to keep moving it because Hubby keeps finding it.

Wow! That would be awesome!!

Picture a very petite woman at the grocery store looking at the B&J ice cream section frantically looking for a particular flavor. Behold, she sees one carton, but it is on the second shelf all the way in the back covered in frost. She reaches for the carton…but she can’t reach it. She looks for someone tall enough to help her in the aisle. No one seemed tall enough. She catches a glimpse of a handy cone dispenser next to the freezer section. She goes over to get one…it’s empty. Looks inside the dispenser…none left. Not defeated, she looks in her grocery cart and finds a tall chili sauce bottle. She grabs it, opens the freezer door and reaches. She pushes it back more! She stands on her very tippy toes and swats at it. The carton falls on it’s sides and rolls more to the back of the shelf. She then gathers up all her momentum for the ultimate stretch…she lunges and swats at the carton. After several swats, she catches the lip of the carton and then moves it slowly away from the back. She keeps gently moving the carton until its closer to her. Alas, she quickly lets go of the sauce bottle and snatches the carton in her reach. All this for a carton of…Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey. She could have rewarded her efforts with a can of Reddi Wip to go with her Chunky Monkey.

You sound exactly like me…I eat the good stuff so I can be naughty! Funny, I just made a post about chocolate and my sins on my blog yesterday. I am often accused (and caught) hiding cookies and chocolate in our house. My husband scolds me for holding out on him, but also complains about wanting to loose weight. So, I tell myself I’m doing him a favor, wink. Ice cream is the greatest food ever invented, since you can mix in candy, cookie dough, brownies, anything sinful and delightful. It’s grand. And whipped topping???? Who needs a spoon? Just squirt it directly on the tongue…Redi Whip is genius! Yum!

I am an ice cream-a -holic. We ALWAYS have ice cream in our freezer. I have it every night. We have had a lot of family medical situations in the last couple of years that have persuaded us to try to go as all natural and organic as possible. We even buy raw cream from the dairy when we pick up our milk so that we can make butter and real whip cream because my hubby loves whip cream but didn’t want to eat the junk any more. If we could get good Redi-Whip and Ben and Jerry’s (which is natural and my favorite brand) It would make our year. And save my pocket book thousands!

What a better way to end a busy day with three children then with a bowl of ice cream after they have gone to bed? I remember being pregnant with my daughter and ice cream was the thing I craved the most and since I was under 110 pounds I could back then… my own bucket in the freezer… anytime I wanted. Oh how i miss the days of indulging whenever I wanted and not seeing the sizes creep up. Ohhhhhh to be young again….

You are a woman after my own heart! Ice cream and whipped cream are the best indulgences ever!

I do have to tell you, that I am terrible about eating veggies at home though. When we go out to a restaurant I will make sure I eat my veggies. We even try to choose spots that are healthier and I eat salads. But at home, I try to avoid making vegetables. I either put it off until the end of fixing dinner and then make an excuse about the rest of dinner being cold by the time they are ready, or I just try to avoid having veggies in the house. I totally need to work on actually eating my veggies all the time, not just when we’re out.

Hmmm, my food secret? I would never let my kids do it, but if I made a batch of cookies or brownies the night before, Ill often have some of them for breakfast. Nothing like sugar and fat with a big cup of caffeine for breakfast!

Ice cream is one of my most favorite desserts. I could eat it every single day/night if it was good for me. But it’s not and I want my boys to develop good eating habits. So how to bring the balance. My husband suggested we have sundaes on Sundays. It has worked out great! The boys aren’t looking for dessert every night of the week. Instead we have fruits for “dessert” during the week and then we can enjoy our ice cream on Sunday! So that’s our life now. My secret? When I was younger and we visited family in Vermont (about once a year) we would go to a B&J’s seconds store and buy a pint for each of us. I ate it in one sitting. Stinky thing is I don’t have that metabolism now.

I LOVE Ben & Jerry’s! When I was pregnant with my third child, I ate it almost every night, straight out of the pint carton. There was a specialty flavor called The Gobfather and I couldn’t get enough of it! Now I get the Half-Baked flavor.

Deepest darkest food secret? Okay…deep breath…we have a chain of convenience store/bakeries here in my hometown, and when I run up there after dinner to get more milk or something, I buy myself a big glazed donut and eat it in the car on the way home. I don’t buy one for anyone else but ME!

Happy Friday! One of my friends eats a bowl of ice cream every night before she goes to bed. I thought, I am going to try that! Lo and behold, I gained the pounds rather quickly. She never did. Now, I exercise and eat pretty healthy! So, I think my family and I can use these treats for a year. It would be like having an old-fashioned ice cream social. Please enter me in your scrumptious drawing. I appreciate all of your generosity! Enjoy the holiday weekend!
Thanks,Cindi

I’ve not had B&J ice cream before. Please enter me… I already eat my veggies; I’m just waiting on the coupons to eat my B&J ice cream and RW too!

Hmm, food secret…I NEED to down a whole bag of popcorn with cheddar cheese seasoning on a nearly nightly basis.

OMG! I would run down the street naked for this! Okay, not really, but you know what I mean. LOL. Let’s see my food secret is probably the same as yours. I spend a lot of time counting calories, eating low fat and reduced fat and my treat is 100 calorie pack snacks so I think I’ve been really good. I’m doing better at eating my veggies, I eat a lot of fruits and whole grains so I deserve this! I can’t believe it has so little calories and it’s real cream - now that I have got to have!

One food secret that I use often is that I put a little squeeze of Reddi-Whip in my coffee, especially on the weekends. It makes regular coffee taste like a fancy latte and with only 15 calories….is a nice treat!

I secretly sneak off in the middle of the night for two spoonfuls of dark chocolate ice cream drizzled with raspberry syrup … yum!

I’ve never had B& J either, but do love Reddi Whip. I like to squirt it right into my mouth! YUMMY! Real creamy goodness!!

I always eat my veggies. I even eat tomatoes which has taken me years and years to even let one touch my tongue and then a few more years to let another one touch my tongue and yet some more to actually chew and swallow one.

I think some ice cream would help speed up the process of letting more tomatoes come in contact with my mouth by knowing that I get a treat when dinner is finished.

We eat healthy meals in our family. But after the kids are in bed, dessert comes out for my hubby and I (we’re old enough to make our own fat choices, but the kids aren’t…). We LOVE ice cream with whipped cream on top. But my deepest darkest food secret? If I buy Oreos, I can’t stop myself. The worst day was when I was about eight months pregnant with Cheeks. I bought some of those neon orange Halloween Oreos and plunked down on the couch with a glass of milk. Three days after I purchased them I realized that I had eaten every one of them. Not my cookie-loving hubby. Big ol’ me. I felt horrible, because there is nothing at all redeeming about feeding my unborn child completely fake, neon orange food. But it was soooooo good. Excuse me, I think I need to go grab some ice cream and cookies (I lost all of the baby weight, so it’s okay, right?).

One of my all time favorite at home date with my hubby is to get a little carton of Ben and Jerry’s, grab two spoons and sit on the couch and split it. Imagine 2 dates a month with my hubby for a whole year!! With three kids 4 and under, this would be a dream come true!!

As for deep dark dessert secrets… I have many…. when I bake chocolate chip cookies, I always end up eating HALF of the cookie dough before making the cookies!! And… When I was pregnant with my son my friend gave me carton of Oreo’s which I ate all but 4. How do I know this? I begrudged my husband for eating those 4… embarrassing I know.

The other day my Mother-in-Law made my two year old a PB&J sandwich on white bread, and Sofi spit it out and said “YUCK!” She had never had white bread before and thought it was disgusting. LOL! So yes, we eat our veggies and whole grains.

Deep dark secret: Chocolate croissant bread pudding. Oh, my mouth water just thinking about it. Also, “Chunky Monkey” from Ben and Jerry’s!

Thanks for the contest.

Yay! I often give my son a squirt of Reddi-Whip as his dessert. He learned a while ago that it comes out of the can really fast, made a funny sound, and left a funny shape on his plate. Now if he even so much as sees a can, he starts laughing.

Food secret? I once ate half a box of Thin Mints.

I’m laughing because my empty ice cream dish is sitting beside me on the computer desk! Ice cream really is the perfect blogging companion!<
