I like to eat well. I make good food choices – lots of veggies, whole grains, low-fat protein, etc. If you looked in my fridge, I think you would be pretty impressed.
And I do it all so that I can indulge on a somewhat regular basis – I want my cake and I definitely want to eat it too! (And I do, let me tell you – to say I have a sweet tooth is to ignore the rest of my body that also screams for dessert.)
Two of the most dangerous and delicious treats I allow myself for good behavior are ice cream and whip cream. Again, when choosing how I am going to indulge, I most often reach for light versions of the good stuff. I figure if I indulge wisely, then I can do it more often. (Do you see a theme in the way I work?)
So when Reddi-wip® wrote to me about their product and how it is made with real cream NOT hydrogenated oils like the other whipped topping I had been using and has only 15 calories per serving, I was very intrigued. In Canada, I hadn’t seen Reddi-wip® in my grocery store, so I had never tried it. But they tell me that it is available here, so I am going to hunt me down some that stuff. It sounds like it was created by angels!
While some whipped toppings are made with hydrogenated oils, Reddi-wip® has always been made with real dairy cream. With Reddi-wip®, you know you’re getting the high-quality ingredients and real cream taste that you and your family deserve. Nothing’s more real than Reddi-wip®
And when Reddi-wip® wanted to treat one of you to a year of free Reddi-Wip and Ben Jerry’s ice cream, how could I say no?
How could I keep that from you?
I imagine I am not the only one who likes to sweeten a late night blogging session with a bowl of ice cream smothered in whipped topping?
So what else could I do but say yes? You deserve it, right?
You eat your veggies. You pick up the whole grain bread and leave that fluffy white stuff for someone else who isn’t trying to earn her way to a creamy, melt in your mouth, reason to live, bowl of ice cream smothered in real cream. Right?
I thought so.
So here is what I can do for you.
You promise to eat your veggies AND you leave a comment here telling me some of your deepest, darkest food secrets or why you deserve a year of free Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and Reddi-wip®, and I will choose one of you to win:
A year’s worth of Reddi-wip® and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream!!!
- 2 coupons per month for a free can of Reddi-wip® (whichever variety you like!)
- 2 coupons per month for a free pint of Ben & Jerry’s (redeemable anywhere B&J is sold, for any flavor!)
We will announce the winner June 12th, 2008. This giveaway is open to both US and Canadian shipping addresses.
Then, I will go out to the store and pick up myself some Ben and Jerry’s and Reddi-wip®, cause really – I deserve some too.
My deepest darkest food secret? Oh, there are so so many, but with regard to ice cream (which is the topic, right?), it would have to be either Edy’s Espresso Chip ice cream or Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. I love frozen chocolate. I’m not a major chocolate bar fan, but I do so enjoy chocolate when it’s frozen. Those huge chunks of dark chocolate (which I would never eat if not in Cherry Garcia) along with that rich vanilla and those wonderful cherries, all that crunch and flavor and blended texture! It can’t be beat! The Espresso Chip ice cream as well – outstanding creaminess and the marvelous crunch of those wonderfully flavored chips! If I were able to add Reddi Whip to that, I’d be in heaven!! Nothing could beat that combination to cool off a hot summer day!!
Mmm .. that sounds so yummy … well, I always have chocolate of some kind in the house. And ice cream & milkshakes … delicious!
I hide food from my fiance. He doesn’t go grocery shopping so if I get something sweet I hide it in the back of the freezer or in the cabinet with the pans where I know he’ll never look. Heaven forbid he finds my stash because he does look where the pots go so he can cook something for once- then he deserves the treats he finds!
When we do have something he knows about like ice cream, if I overindulge and he says I ate it all, I tell him it was our 2 year old while he was at work. If I had a year supply of ice cream, I wouldn’t have to hide it from df anymore… we could share. Although I know he’d eat the whole pint in 5 minutes!
My husband doesn’t like ice cream (shocker) and I have an addiction to the stuff. But since I’m the only one who eats it – it’s one of the first things to go in my budget! I could really use the free coupons to feed my addiction.
When it is a bad day I have Ben&Jerry’s for dinner. Not for one pint but two. Of course the kids have a healthy meal with veggies.
Ice cream is truly a staple at our house, especially ben & jerry’s, but I love Reddi Whip since its so low in calories there is just no guilt! Love it!
I absolutely love ice cream, especially Ben&Jerry’s. Eating it is like heaven on earth and I would love to win some. It would be a dream come true. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.
I only have 2 kids, but they’re both HIGH MAINTENANCE. Even when I try to escape with one of those rare Calgon baths, they climb up to get the key and unlock the bathroom door and complain to me or ask where their stuff is. And since my daughter’s now PMSing also, the two of us try to hide the ice cream from the other! Wow, was happy and surprised about the calories with Reddi-Whip! All along I’ve rationalized with a diet-Cola on the side!!!
count me in please :)i always buy B & J and hide it in the back of my freezer so the hub and kids sont see it ;0
I eat veggies every single day, so that promise is fulfilled. 🙂
Deepest, darkest food secret? Most people don’t know I love prunes, plain broccoli and mashed cauliflower…but not all together. I think I deserve it because my willpower has improved these past few months when I’ve been surrounded by all kinds of stuff, yet I’ve lost 20 pounds! Yea!!!
I love ice cream, but so expensive now, the only way I can afford it, is to win it!
OH! What a wonderful prize. I love ice cream all year round.
Please enter me! I love nothing better than a bowl of ice cream and a good book!
Once in awhile lately, I have had to buy a SNickers from the candy machine in the Teachers’ Lounge before lunch just to make it through the last few weeks of school!
one of my deepest darkest food secrets is that i really love to mix all my food together into one mixture, no matter what it is, i have to mix it up, it’s all going to wind up like that anyways, why not quicken the process
You will usually find me at my computer with a glass of diet coke and CANDY!
I promise that my 4 children and I will eat healthy and eat our vegetables. I also promise that we would have NO problem eating Ben and Jerry’s topped with Reddi-wip!!!!! (after our vegetables for a treat)!! My favorite ice cream of all time is Ben and Jerry’s chocolate brownie…………I can eat the whole thing by myself!! The kids on the other hand could eat a whole can of Redd-wip 🙂
Thank you and the sponsors for a wonderful prize!!
i am going to be in for a long hot exhausting summer and this will really be a great pick me up for me. thanks for the chance!
everyone knows that i love ice cream. i live on the stuff. i do try to add a little vegetables in my diet but they just don’t taste as good topped with reddi-wip as ice cream does. i really want some ben&jerrys with reddi-wip. PLEASE!
I admit it……I have been one of those people who have taken the Reddi Wip can, held it upside down and squited it in to my mouth!!!! So add the ice cream for a year, oh boy that is dangerous.
I have toured the Ben and Jerry factory in VT many times. Ice cream is one of my major food groups. I eat it every day. Add a little whipped topping and I have gone to heaven.
I would love this!
My deepest, darkest food secret: I hide chocolate so that my husband and children will not eat it. Sometimes I NEED my chocolate and I want to make sure that I always have some around (which is often)!
what fun…. let me win
When I was little I loved applesauce mixed in with my spaghetti & marinara. My parents were so grossed out!
I need the ice cream to dull the pain of that memory.
enter me please
Hello, ICE CREAM for a year? I’m so there! 🙂
Yummy!
I love chocolate. I will tell everyone I am very good at watching what I eat, but after everyone has gone to bed, I will get out that ice cream (don’t forget the double chocolate sundae syrup and the whipped cream). I also like to melt peanut butter and put it in the bottom of the bowl before I put my ice cream in. Makes for a surprising treat. Mmmmmm…Mmmmm good!
My food secret is everyday, when the kids are napping a secretly eat chocolate or some other goodie.
They’re closing the Cold Stone Creamerys in this town left and right. They’re dropping like flies. I need Ben & Jerry’s to see me through!
Love Ben and Jerry’s.
Ben & Jerry’s would make a great diet!!!
Every Sunday we have waffles and love Redi-whip and fruit on top of them! Yumm.
Yummy prize!
I’m pretty open about all my food indulgences. The only one that I’ve managed to keep secret is that I always keep a box or two of Junior Mints in the freezer. Man, those things are good when they’re frozen. I’ll bet they’d be even better in a Reddi-wip and Ben & Jerry’s sundae!
So why do I deserve the year’s supply of ice cream? Well…because I am due with baby #5 in August and am so busy that I never get to stop and indulge myself! I have homeschooled for 5 years now and rarely get a break for something I enjoy. And I really enjoy ice cream! I also generally eat healthy and this would be an extra special treat at the end of a long day.
I do have a food secret, too. I haven’t done it recently, but I would make up cookie dough or some crispy topping (think apple crisp), just to eat it, not to bake!
Deepest, darkest food secrets? Hmmm…I LOVE shortbread and dark chocolate…especially shortbread – and I would eat way too much of it if it was in my house!
I also am a big fan of Cherry Garcia ice cream too!
Deep dark Ben & Jerry’s secret – a pint of Chocolate Fudge Brownie was often my dinner in college!
My food secret is I have chocolate all over the house. I also have a snack bag in my bedroom for those midnight munchies while watching a good movie. Icecream and Reddi-wip is gonna be hard to hide tho!
OHHHHH….Im Excited!!! My weakness is chocolate. I love any and everything chocolate.
Thanks for another great giveaway!
My food weakness is an ice cream cone. There is nothing better in the summertime.
Sometimes, my dinner is a snickers and a pear (or banana, or apple… and the fruit is only a ‘maybe’, depending on whether I have any in the house. The snickers is a definite). Hey, when you are alone for dinner, you gotta do, what you gotta do.
Just this morning I ate my cereal and then I went to the fridge to get a yogurt and thought, what the heck, ice cream it is! I just can’t pass it up. There is no diet in the world that I haven’t managed to sneak ce cream into. 🙂
My secret – I workout like an animal so I can eat ice cream! Not to be healthy, but so I can justify the calories!!!
Yum! Icecream
I deserve this cause I will totally savor every bite…and share some with my husband and kids (if I have to–hehe). And we love eating Reddi-wip straight from the can…it’s quite entertaining and delicious.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
My family would love this prize.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. (Especially Cherry Garcia)
I really deserve a year’s worth because I am pregnant with baby #5, and calcium is good for me! lol! I will use it in moderation though. Thanks!
I eat chocolate for breakfast!!
YEEESSSS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been known to eat Ice cream for breakfast!
I try to find ways to distract my children in other rooms so that I don’t have to share my snacks with them! If I win this, I probably won’t mind sharing quite so much. 🙂
I really didn’t know that Reddi-Whip was made with real cream! (Now I’ll be buying it all the time) It’s going to be my new food secret – with Ben & Jerry’s!
I promise to eat my veggies!! Then dessert! I don’t think I have ever had ben and Jerry’s. Cost is a bit higher! However I can’t stay out of the ready whip!! not just for desserts…hot choc, doffee, on a spoon. My food secret; I sneak good stuff into cookies, mashed potatoes. They are healthier than normal. Then I snitch chocolate!!
Hmmm, my deepest darkest food secret, huh? I guess that might be that I have been known to open a jar of alfredo pasta sauce and eat it with a spoon. Yup, straight out of the jar.
I’d rather be eating some Ben & Jerry’s. 😉
Love Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream, enter me please!
my turn
All I can say is seeing this contest while Pregnant…….OHHHH! I’ve always had a sweet tooth but atleast I can say I’m getting “some” calcium eating ice cream 😛
I would LOVE to win this!
And I think I deserve it because I have never, ever, in my entire life, had Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. I’m serious!
Please! Please!Please!Please!Please!Please!Please!
Pick me!
Please count us in.
I always get into trouble when making chocolate chip cookies. I cannot resist the dough. There’s nothing better than warm straight from the oven home made chocolate chip cookies! I have even made several “adjustments” to my recipe to perfect them!
This could be even better in Ben & Jerry’s choc chip cookie dough ice cream!!!!
ben and jerrys is my favorite ice cream of all!!!
i go there at least once a week and trust me it gets expensive especially since i am a college kid. but i cant help myself. and i love the creaminess of reddiwip, i dont think i could go without having it in my fridge for more than 3 days!
I love ice cream! ooh, how I love ice cream!! Ben & Jerrys has the best ice cream – their flavors are to die for! Reddi-whip is great! If you don’t use it then you are really missing out! I hope I win !!
I love this, thought I’d share …
The Quick Change Baby Crib
What is better than the two of these together?! Maybe a few extra toppings? I say NUTS!! I love nuts with ice cream and whipped topping.
Would love to be entered.
I LOVE ice cream and have to restrain myself from eating it daily. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I made milkshakes often. I had to cut back when my husband & I both started putting on the pounds. I guess it’s no wonder that my daughter, now 2 1/2, can polish off half of a Chick-Fil-A milkshake in no time.
My favorite guilty snack is Snyder’s pretzel knobs dipped in garlic ranch dressing. Ice cream is a close second though. Oh, and I live in Phoenix, and it is HOT here! Ice cream hits the spot!
Oh, I would SO love to win this!
My deep, dark food secret…I didn’t want my daughter to eat all that candy from Easter all at once so I hid it and only gave her a piece here and there for dessert…and ate a good portion of it myself after she went to bed each night :)!
I need this. Really. I’m one of those few and far between who can eat anything and still lose weight. Probably has something to do with the fact that I’ve been either pregnant or nursing for the last 7 years.
I have given up smoking, given up meat, given up white flour, given up anything fried and now excercise religiously. This would be such a wonderful way to bring color back into my pretty blah dietary life. The one thing I refuse to give up is some Ben and Jerry (Chunky Monkey, or Oatmeal Cookie). Its like Nirvana in my mouth…so ..please….please…please..pick me….
B & J’s Ice Cream is one of the best on the planet. The whip cream reminds me of …. never mind. Delicious combo.
I keep a secret stash of sweets in a drawer in my room so nobody else will eat them.
OMG This is for me. What better than ice cream smoothered in whip creme… YUM Thanks
I work VERY odd hours, I’m a chauffeur. I admit that my hubby forces the “real” food on me, hubby knows that I would only eat ice cream if I had the option. There are mornings that we cross paths, he with his first morning coffee and I with my spoon in the ice cream carton!
This would be a wonderful gift, I’d share the different flavors with our granddaughter. We’d just work our way each month through the flavors, with reddi whip on top!
I love chunky monkey and chocales reddi whip
My deepest secret is that I will purposely buy a flavor of ice cream that I love and my boyfriend hates!More for me!!Hehehe!
I like ice cream so much I’m probably going to name my first child chocolate fudge brownie. Joking by the way 🙂 but I do love ice cream.
Cookies are my major weakness. I can’t help it – I love them!
I think I deserve this prize not just because I’m an ice cream fiend but because the diet I’ve been on prohibits ice cream and I think it would be a good cheat meal for my sanity.
Please enter me in this contest. I LOVE ice cream!
Okay, I admit it….. I love a shot of Reddi-Whip straight from the can. I know…. I know…..
I love ice cream so much that when there is a sale I’ll fill the freezer! Don’t need anything else in there.
My dark food secret is that I often hide the yummiest foods from my kids so that hubby and I can enjoy them after the kids go to bed 🙂
I would love to win this…I could then try every single flavor of B&J! And summer is coming, I can think of a thousand uses for the Reddi Whip.
now that my sons have discovered the joys of ice cream, this prize would be sooo useful
I cant’ imagine a better prize. Oh how yummy!!
This is just dangerous…but wonderful since I already buy Ben & Jerry’s for the house.
Mmmm – Ice Cream. My vice! yes – I am a food network junkie – and love to bake – here’s a secret: Add vanilla to boxed cake, and voila! It tastes home made!! 😉
I love ice cream, and this would be great.
yummy, ice cream.
ahhh i would love love love to win this! yummmy!
Food secret: I love blueberry sour cream donuts with peanut butter frosting!
When I was a little girl, I remember my mom winning a year’s worth of ice cream from Kroger. I remember it because it was so cool. It was cool to tell my friends. It was even cooler picking out any flavor I wanted each week when we went shopping. It is the only think I can remember my mom winning, and I remember thinking it was the neatest. I know my son would think it equally cool if we won the Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream and redi-whip. That would make for a great memory, too.
I’d love to win because I don’t think I have ever tried Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. I need an excuse!Besides, whip cream is one of my staple foods :).
Dark secret: direct from the Reddi-Wip can to open mouth. Ice Cream optional.
I love Ben & Jerry’s ice cream! We have a store nearby. And Redi-whip is always good. Please enter me!
oh wow! Who wouldn’t love this!?
Well, I don’t have many secrets when it comes to food. But I do love to make oatmeal and whole wheat pancakes, put chocolate chips on them when they’re still hot off the griddle, add some strawberries or bananas, and the crowning glory is the beautiful swirl of Reddi-Whip (chocolate, if we have it!!). I’m not kidding… I had it for breakfast this morning!
I was just thinking about having some ice cream.
I cheat making smoothies…they’re great made with ice cream!
I scream for ice cream!
soooo count me in pleeeese!!!!!
Oh, gosh! I just got back upstairs after sneaking an extra scoop of my grandson’s birthday ice cream. I’ll be eating my spinach, for sure!
YUM!
Ice cream Yipee The world is a happier place because of ice cream
just what i need to help me on my diet
My food secret is that I absolutely MUST have something sweet after every meal. Even if it is just one spoonful of ice cream or a little piece of chocolate, a meal just isn’t complete without a little dessert!
I am a Ben & Jerry’s addict. My ultimate comfort food is a pint of Ben & Jerry’s (any flavor) with Redd-Whip and a medium bag of M&Ms (peanut preferably). I try to hide the Ben & Jerry’s from the rest of my family (and I don’t even feel guilty about it).
Ben and Jerry’s is like a slice of heaven. Seriously! Or is it evil? Either way it is delicious.
My food secrets? I hide some of the chocolate from my husband, so I will always have some handy (he tends to eat it quickly if I put it all in the candy dish at once.) I have been miserable with my allergies this Spring, so I think I deserve thie treat to make me feel better! Thanks.
I deserve this because I am Ben and Jerry’s biggest fan, I even wrote on essay on them in my business ethics class. I vow to eat my veggies.
I love chocolate, but that’s normal :). My dark passion is dill pickels, lots and lots. Now I just need the ice cream to go with them…yummy.
What a fantastic taste treat!!!!!!!!!!
I’m wheat-intoerant, so while the rest of them gorge on cakes, pies and cookies,I can still have my ice cream. (Ben and Jerry’s is the best.)
Yes, ice cream is my favorite food. ^-^
People tell me that they love ice cream on pie. I say “Why ruin perfectly good ice cream by putting it on pie!?”
I am a snack-a-holic and it doesn’t really matter if it’s sweet or salty – I love it all! I have stashes of snacks (okay, mostly sweets) in the house, and usually start my day eating junk food before healthy food. That’s why I should win. I enjoy my current system. I would love adding icecream and whipped cream to the mix too.
Okay! I enter contests thinking about grandkids, kids, and hubby. but this one…is all for me!!!!
Oh just stop it…..so much whipped cream and ice cream…..all year…so nice.
Because I stay on my diet almost every day!
no real food secrets here, i just eat everything in sight! this would make a nice gift or a prize to share with my co-workers, they’d love it!!!
I use eat ice cream instead of fruit for dessert. Now that’s dedication.
Ummm, did someone say ice cream? Yes please!
Smoothies are my favorite indulgence, because they contain just enough fruit that I can say they’re healthy!
I love my veggies, but I love ice cream more and especially ben & jerrys! When I would go to the grocery store by myself, I would always get a snickers bar and not let anyone else know about it. Then eat it before I went home.
I’m not a mom. But, my wife is. And, we both love ICE CREAM. So, please! please! please! please! pick me, just this once!………….or twice.
Ben and Jerry’s! My favorite!! Plus the Ready Whip’s pretty nice too!
Did someone say Ben & Jerry’s???? YUM…..This is my favorite ice cream…..and Reddi Whip, how can you resist….What a fantastic giveaway…..
Everyone soothes the blues differently. Ben & Jerry’s is my favorite remedy. Add a little Reddi-Whip and I am quite mellow again.
I love Ben & Jerry’s!! but….my deep secret is I still like to squirt the reddi whip right out of the can into my mouth like I did as a kid!
Ben & Jerry’s is on my weekly shopping list!
I love Ben and Jerry’s!!!! Been eating it since I was in my 20’s and it is my all time favorite! Pair it up with Reddi whip, yummy!!!! Course I will have to hide it from the kids lol!
I really need to win this because I really really really need some comfort food.
I just love ice cream and real cream whip. I get up in the middle of the night go out to the garage where the big freezer is and get the ice cream, frozen fruit and with whip cream on it and dive in. This occurs in the dead of winter in below zero weather. A definite comfort food for me.
my deepest, darkest food secret is that i love pickles, i can eat them by the jar….
and i deserve a year of free Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and Reddi-wip because this would just make me the best spouse in the world! also, i have been very good this year and deserve a treat! thanks for the contest
This is the best sweep ever, LOVE my icecream!
I don’t know what I was thinking, but about an hour or two before my last Dr app while pregnant with my son (now 7 months), I ate 2 sleeves of Oreo cookies and 3 tall glasses of orange Koolaid. When I went to my app. my Dr. was horrified by the level of sugar in my urine and admitted me into the hospital for observation and testing. They thought I had Gestational Diabetes. I had to tell her what I ate…then I heard her tell the nurses. I was so embarrased. Worst of all I had to tell my husband that I was in the hospital for eating Oreos and drinking Koolaid. My levels returned to normal after 3 hours and they sent me home on the condition that I eat no more Oreos!
Love Ben and Jerry’s ice cream!
I love, love, love Coffee Heath Bar Crunch Ice Cream.. My secret is I wait till everyone is asleep and then fix myself a bowl.
I love Ben & Jerry’s ice cream especially with whipped cream!
Bring on the ice cream…anything with cookies or cookie dough.
Ben and Jerry’s help me make it through college! I love to more coffee over ice cream and then top it with Reddi-wip.
ICE CREAM,ICE CREAM WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM. ALL MY KIDS AND GRAND KIDS AND I OF COURSE WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS PRIZE. WE GET TOGETHER EVERY SAT AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL AND EAT ICE CREAM
My deepest darkest secret is fathers day is coming and my husband never buys himself anything and I know he loves ice cream, he could eat a half gallon at one time if we could afford it so if I won this he could eat ice cream and not feel quilty that he was spending the money on him….
Thank you for the chance to win…
Well with 4 kids the oldest being 6 it is a crazy life which would be at lot better with some cold and creamy sweetness. Yummy I am drooling just thinking about it.
I want to treat my friends to tastey treats at our Friday girls’ night get togethers. We give each other manicures and facials, play fun games and let our hair down. A tastey treat of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and Reddi-wip would be the cherry on the sundae, so to speak
: D
I would love to win this prize.
Wow!! Two of my favorites year round foods!
When the tough get’s going, we eat ice ceam, sundaes for everyone with lot’s of whip cream.
I love b&j’s! sometimes I stand by the freezer and just sneak a spoonful. Thanks for having a contest.
I myself like soy ice cream, but my daughter and partner would love a little indulgence of this sort.
I love Ben and Jerry’s! It’s the one thing I have to hide from my roommate because she likes it too and we can each devour those tiny pints during a single movie night. And Reddi-wip is also a favorite that I should indulge in more often is sounds like. This prize would definitely make life so much sweeter!
i love cream!
yum
I’m addicted to peanut butter cookies. I seriously can eat 10-15 all at once. These aren’t the small sized ones either. Large, chunky, peanuty and mmmmmmmm yummy!!! Love my peanut butter ice cream too!
great prize for the grandkids!!
my food secret is that nachos is tasty
My inner child would really love this
Can’t you just imagine a country made up of ice cream?
** chocolate mountains topped by whipped cream snow **
** rivers of melted ice cream **
** whipped cream clouds **
** pistachio ice cream greass **
im addicted to icecream
WHAT A GREAT SUMMER GIFT
ice cream & whip cream oh the possibilities
Sounds great!!!!!!!!
Yes, I’m the one who stood in line for 1 & a half hours for a free ice cream cone. Wip, well I consider it one of the main food groups, can’t live without it. Thank you for the opportunity to even dream of free (Ben & Jerry’s)ice cream & Redi Wip, shame on all of us.
what a yummy contest!
ice cream and whippig cream…perfect!
This is such a naughty contest but I love it! I’m glad Ben & Jerry’s only comes in small containers or it would REALLY be dangerous. Reddi Whip on top just makes it even more decadent. Yummy!
HI
OH YEA!!!!!!!!
Oh my gosh, have I died & gone to heaven? Yum!
I love ice cream so I try to get out my smallest bowl so I won’t scoop in too much at one time. I love it though especially any caramel-like flavor. Ice cream and whipped cream for a year-heaven.
fabulous!
I deserve ice cream and reddi whip because I am a depressed pregnant woman and my 2-year-old is having surgery on Wednesday.
my kids and my husband are ben and jerry fans
I do eat food thats good for you. Yes I do too! But, I am also a chocoholic. They need to start a new 12 step program CEA (Chocolate Eaters Anonymous). As far as ice cream is concerned Ben & Jerry’s is definetely the best! I can’t even tell you my favorite flavour because I have to many. Oh, interesting fact my pharmacist told me, did you know you can have this type of whipped cream on the Atkins diet? Thanks for the giveaway!
My deep dark secret is: eating bacon and eggs for dinner.No one knows this!…Funny,every time I buy ice cream, I say to myself I’ll go on a diet the next day!
Rheddi whip on hot brownies.
oh…and I have the no-bake cookie recipe divided down to a recipe that makes just a few.
Reddi Whip on fresh strawberry shortcake.
But, you have quessed my favorite storebought indulgence…Ben & Jerry’s with Reddi Whip! oh, yum…thanks for offering the chance!
I would love to have this for a year!
I love adding Redi Whip to my ice cream.
Love these
I have 5 grown chldren an just adopted a 16 yr girl so that makes 6! So yeah I could use some ice cream right now,an put nuts in the bottom an dig my way thru to it!wow,boy do I need that right now,an I have 3 grandchildren an 2 more on the way,so Ben an Jerrys,take me away!
I love Ben & Jerry’s! Back in my younger days I would eat an entire pint in a sitting, now I can’t get away with that, but I still love all their flavors!
I could sure go a year’s supply of Reddi-wip and Ben & Jerry’s because I love ice cream and so does my family. And a year’s supply would be great for the entire family.
If I won a year’s supply of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream MAYBE I would finally get to eat some. My husband has the annoying habit of eating up all the ice cream in the house. When I go to get a bowl, it’s already gone. With a year’s supply I could hide my cartons and let him go nuts with his inferior brand of ice cream. I would be ever so grateful! As far as Reddi Whip goes, my sister is still talking about the time I gave her 2 month old daughter some Reddi Whip. Her daughter is now 29! My four grandsons and I love to put Reddi Whip on all sorts of flavors of ice cream. Our favorite thing to do, though, and we have to not let the parents know, is to just open mouth and insert nozzle. I will buy a can or two just to squirt that way. It’s one of those childhood memories I know they will keep for a long time. I hope they will make it a tradition in their own families in years to come. Reddi Whip is the best! We could sure use a year’s supply!
Yum!
My husband knoes when its been a stressful day at work without having to ask, there is a carton of phish food in the freezer(or the empty carton in the trash)
I am a huge Ben and Jerrys fan and this prize would be heavenly for me.
ice cream is my weakness and reddi-wip is the ultimate topping; great in the summer, going thru hard times and just for everyday fun!
I have to say but Ice Cream is my deep dark secret. Ok, not so secret…
Back when I was pregnant, I had to have ice Cream EVERY SINGLE DAY! And, if I didn’t have any, I would call my friends and beg them to drop me off some. Most of the time it was B&J’s Mint Chocolate Cookie, vanilla caramel fudge, or whatever was at the store! And if my friends wouldn’t bring it to me, I would get ticked, throw on my jacket and I’d walk my prenant self to the store to get some!
Even now I will buy myself some ice cream, not tell my daughter, and after she goes to bed I will eat it all! Maybe if I’d win this, I’ll share with her too.
My family would love the ice cream and whipped cream.
I am a high school teacher, and it is one of the most challenging and stressful jobs a person could have. Some days I come home and just pass out on the couch, and some days I head straight for the gym to try and relieve the tension. My favorite way to destress, however, is by eating ice cream, and Ben and Jerry’s is my favorite!!! I would really appreciate winning the Ben and Jerry’s and Reddi-Whip contenst, and I know it would help me to relax and unwind after all of my hard days teaching school.
Ben & Jerry’s has always been a favorite because I love ice cream with lots of “stuff”…I still remember that New York Fudge Chunk was the first one I tried, and through the years my favorite has changed. When I was pregnant, I would send my husband to the 7-Eleven and he would read not only the flavors…but also every ingredient until I found exactly what I was craving. For months, he told people that he now knew why cell phones were really invented. 😀 One of my secrets? Whenever we have Redi-Whip in the house, I sneak to the fridge and squirt it straight into my mouth. My dog loves it too and comes running whenever he hears the “swoosh”! Hee hee!
I am usually a good girl, because I’m trying to lose the baby weight, but wow, when I discovered how good chocolate chip cookies are with whipped cream, watch out! I usually sneak them when my hubby thinks I’m having a healthy bowl of cereal for a nightly snack! Uh-oh! I guess this would make my diet harder!
I deserve this treat because I won’t even keep it selfishly to myself despite my love for ice-cream. I will actually offer it to a dear person.
I deserve to win a year of ice cream and reddi wip because by the time I find time to eat a little ice cream everyone else in my house has eaten it all, leaving me with either two spoonfuls or none.
I love ice cream and I promise to eat my veggies
My secret is that if it were possible to survive by only eating ice cream I would do it. But since you made me promise I will eat my veggies as well… is it okay to cover them in whip cream?
I promise to eat my veggies. I promise to share. I promise to find all kinds of things that whipped topping and ice cream would be great on.
I’m pregnant?! What better reason can there be to get a years worth of ice cream! 🙂
Usually I’m pretty good about eating something from every food group, but on occasion I’ve eaten brownies for dinner. Yes, the whole pan. And nothing else (but I bet they’d have been good with whipped cream and ice cream).
I’ve been craving icecream this whole preggo, apparently our baby girl likes icecream too! I’d have many uses for the reddi whip, strawberries are in season and they are yummy with reddi whip!
I would not share these with the kids or hubby… well, maybe a little bit of Reddi Whip on occasion. But it would be my secret mommy stash!
ok we all like Whip cream in our house and my 2.5 yr old caught me squirting it right out of the can into my mouth and now he likes to do the same. But gosh it is soooooooooo good just by it self!
Oh, I love Ben & Jerry’s — even their book!
Count me in, I love sweets!
My favorite flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is Cherry Garcia. I could eat that every day and never get sick of it. My deep, dark secret, which really isn’t a secret because my husband knows, is that if we have anything like cake or ice cream in the house I have to eat it. If I’ve already eaten my share, he had better hurry and eat his share because I can’t control myself and if he doesn’t eat his then I’ll eat it, too.
I like doritos with ranch dressing
We had to stop ordering girl scout cookies as they dont last past 24 hours here
My deepest darkest food secret probably is Ben & Jerrys Karma Sutra & Chubby Hubby icecream. Love it.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am an ice cream fanatic!! And BEN & JERRY’S???! My absolute favorite ice cream (EVER) is B&J’s “Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz Buzz!” You can’t find it in stores anymore, only at B&J’s shops! Once, at a lock-in at Six Flags w/ a group of high school students that I minister to, we were on our way to a roller coaster and there it was . . a Ben and Jerry’s . . . I immediately made an exec. decision to stop for a sweet treat! 🙂 I needed me some Coffee, Coffee, Buzz, Buzz, Buzz!! And the kids STILL (4 yrs later) won’t let me forget about it. I don’t understand? What’s wrong w/ ice cream at 2 am?? 😉 And for ONE YEAR?? HECK YEAH!
We try to eat well, but hectic schedules make it a challenge. Especially with a picky toddler, and a hubby who puts in 10-12 hour days, often 6 days a week and we all eat different stuff at different times. No matter how healthy we try to be, I ALWAYS have a chocolate stash in the house.
One of my deepest, darkest food secrets…hmmmmm. Well, there was the time when I was pregnant with my daughter and had difficulty eating anything for practically my whole pregnancy. When I went to the doctor for a check up, she said, “You have to eat something…even ice cream, to get some calories and calcium.” After hearing that, my husband regularly picked me up a cup of Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia after work to get me through the tough spots. No wonder my daughter loves ice cream so much now.
When no one is home, I eat Doritos with staek sauce on them. lol.
When I was a kid, my brother and I would wait for my Mother to leave to run some errands and would secretly bake a pan of brownies, and hide them in our closet. Naughty!
My FAV ice cream is B&J’s! I eat the chocolate brownie, and my son eats the cherry garcia. We live very close to s Safeway that sells very small containers of B&J’s, just big enough for a 4-year old. So very often we walk to the store and get a small (only $1) of ice cream. We have fun and talk and sing on the way there and back.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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?).
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.
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 secretly sneak off in the middle of the night for two spoonfuls of dark chocolate ice cream drizzled with raspberry syrup … yum!
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!
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!
Hmm, food secret…I NEED to down a whole bag of popcorn with cheddar cheese seasoning on a nearly nightly basis.
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!
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 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!
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.
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!
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.
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….
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!
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!
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.
Wow! That would be awesome!!
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.
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!
mmm.. deep dark..watching soaps and dipping hershey bar into jif peanut butter..hope to win..I can taste chunkey monkey with whipped cream!

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!
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!
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.
Deepest, darkest food secret? When dieting I have sometimes skipped a meal just so I could have chocolate instead.
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.
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.
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!
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!
That should be candy instead of can.
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.
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! 🙂
Mint chocolate chip ice cream at 3am! shhhh, don’t tell anyone!
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.
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 🙂
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!
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 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.
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!
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!
ICE CREAM…..MUST HAVE ICE CREAM….
okay, so now you know dark secret….Ice cream!
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 😀
yummy! lol
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.
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!

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.
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!
The first time I bought Redi Whip for the boys they said, “what’s it good on, mama?” I said, ” A spoon!”
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!!!
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.
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.
oh my love for late night Ice Cream. This would be awesome. MMMMMM I can already taste it.
I would love this one! I, of course, would be kind and let my dear sweet hubby choose a flavor…mmm..once or twice!
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*
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?)
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.
Yummy!
My weakness is definitely sweets, to be specific: Ice Cream! I would also have to say another problem is too much pop!
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.
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 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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
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 . . .
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. 🙂
Yummy, yummy, yummy! I would would love to win…in fact I think my husband would love it just as much as i would!
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!
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!
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!
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.
I promise to eat my veggies!!! 🙂 One thing I can never give up is my icecream, it’s all about moderation!

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

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!

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? 😉
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!!”
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.
I totally eat my veggies. (And ice cream too 🙂
*sigh*
Been known to hide cookie dough in the freezer so I can come down in the middle of the night and eat it.
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.
secret food thing: i eat bananas with peanut butter, choco chips, and marshmallows for breakfast.
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! 🙂
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 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 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 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!
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!
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. 🙂
i am addicted to this whip cream-i have 2 in my house right now. we always have it with strawberries!
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!)
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.
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!!
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! : )
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.
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 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.
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 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! 🙂
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
I could eat a whole tray of lemon bars on my own! 🙂 But I do usually manage to restrain myself…
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 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 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!
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!!
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.
How did you guess my weakness is Ice Cream. It actual would be last thing on earth that I would give up.
