UUUHHHH...not to be stupid, but I'm a meat and taters girl. What's a hummus?

Bamboozle

A mash of a base of chick peas (and some juice from the chick peas [garbanzo beans]), garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, some salt (I'm sure I'm forgetting somthing....maybe some paprika, cayenne pepper...).


It's really good with pita bread, carrots, on a sandwich......tasty.

I cannot stop eating Reese's peanut butter hearts.....you know, like the eggs. I'm going to get sick.

I try to eat better foods...I have a mango that's doing its best to ripen right now. I wish it would hurry up. I love mangos....of course....it's mostly sugar.

Ferrero Rocher Chocolates and my ultimate favorite:

Dan's Chocolates - Chocolate delivery, chocolate truffles, bulk chocolates, and chocolate bars

Those are to die for.

It's definitely something I am enjoying again. When I was drinking I couldn't stand anything sugary because I was already drinking so much from wine.

Congrats on your 10 days! I say for the initial period eat whatever you want and just enjoy it. Last thing you need to worry about is having too many brownies. Be good to yourself. =)

Eat em up masseyman. Who cares.As long as your not drinking.
There are alot worse things you could be doing. Eat em if you got em.
I have heard before from alot of people that they crave sugar after quitting drinking.

I am a cocaine addict. I crave pickles when I stop. Or maybe I just crave pickles all the time. But I love picjkles. Claussen pickles.
You eat your little heart out and dont let anyone tell you any different.

Me too Chiy!! Pickles and ice cream. Not pregnant by the way!!

Right after I quit it was chocolate & coffee with french vanilla cream., & ice cream. I also had to have lollipops anytime I was just sitting - oral fixation, I guess! I thought after a year I was getting over my sugar obsession, but at Christmas someone gave me a box of Barton's Peppermint Bark candy, which is both Dark and White Chocolate with little pieces of candycane crushed on top. Ooooh yeah. (Good thing it's a limited edition item....)

I like my brownies warm, in a bowl with Breyers peach ice cream on top!

I justify it as the ice cream has real fruit in it.

If my daughter hasn't made brownies (she likes to bake), then I have a bowl of Breyers heath toffee ice cream. That's my current favorite.

I don't do sweets all day, just the ice cream at night. I do power walk, and did 2 miles Sun, Mon and Tues. Hope to get a few miles in this weekend. I'm happy with my routine since I'm not tossing back alcohol all night.

A year ago, when I quit a nearly 3 month straight binge, I was drinking sodas like mad. There was even one evening where I went to three different convinience stores to buy a bunch of them* because I didn't want them to think I was weird. A trick I'd learned with liquor stores.

(*Michigan's local-made, yummy & cheap brand is impossible to find in anything but single bottles.)

After my last relapse I was going through either a pint or quart of ice cream every single night for a week or two.

Hi Isaiah, you fellow mittener, you! Are you talking about Vernors?

Someone told me tonight about something I'm gonna have to try -- vanilla ice cream covered in fruity pebbles. Hmmm....

Also, something icky - pancakes with peanut butter. YUCK!

eeerooo

I'm right there with you on the Brownies. Anything chocolate has been *very* helpful.

Bamboozle

That made me laugh, and reminds me of a useless memory I have...

...I once saw someone I used to work with buy about 30 2-liter bottles of soda at the grocery store. He was a pretty big dude.....and that's pretty much all he bought.

That's a lot of soda.

HEHE! Good thing you clarified! You know that would have been the next question!

Starbucks skinny vanilla lattes. They are made with fat free milk and sugar free syrup, so by no means do they equate the 600-1200 calories I was drinking a night, but at $4 a pop they sure aren't saving me much money!!!

As a recovering pothead, when I saw the "Brownies" title, I got a little apprehensive. Good thing they are just regular brownies.

I have noticed other things picking up as I'm sober, especially internet use, and I too have been eating alot. I have been smoking a few less cigarettes, though. I would chain smoke when under the influence.

And I absolutely love chocolate, as always.

Sara9009

LOL, because of this thread I made brownies last night. I saw them in the cupboard and was like YUM!

Isaiah

Fulldresser4, hello yourself! Heh, you're the first person who's responded correctly to the Mitten. I've had a lot of private messages from this site asking "where's the mitten?"

I was referring to Faygo. I'm a Rock n' Rye fan. Mildly uncomfortable that my favorite artificially-flavored soda is modeled after an alcoholic beverage, but eh... Vernor's is nice too.

Peanut butter on pancakes... I have to say that sounds tasty to me, but I'm obsessed with peanut butter.

ToABetterMe

HEHE & because of this thread I bought brownies today when I went to target to pick up an Rx!!!

I bet I make them before the end of the day!

Isaiah

I was starring at this post for a long time with my mouth agape.

Finally it hit,

You like pickles AND you like ice cream.

I love pickles too, but I just could not comprehend pickle ice cream, which was my first thought.
