3. List 7 things you would love to eat guilt free.
Do you KNOW how I would indulge for the rest of my life if I could choose any 7 things to eat guilt free? I have had a love affair with donuts my entire life. I can remember on very special occasions my mother might bring home a baker’s dozen and it became clear that eating just one donut was not socially acceptable. I have struggled to be satisfied with just one donut for as long as I can remember. I choose my donut. I cherish my donut. And I spend the rest of my day thinking about the remaining donuts until they have all been claimed.
I once begged my Mom for the one remaining donut left in the box, but before asking her I snuck half of it first. This way if she said no, the joke was on her because I had already eaten half and if she said yes then I scored the other half of the donut. I had not anticipated a way to lose in this situation until my Mom responded by saying, “Ick, no you don’t want that. Buddy peed on it today.”
I wonder how much joy my Mom got out of watching my face drop as I slowly backed out of the kitchen and away from the remaining portion of the pee donut. I think she knew I ate half of it without permission. How does a dog manage to pee on a donut perched on a counter? It doesn’t. She lied so that she could watch me squirm because she knew I already helped myself without permission. Either that or I’m just living in denial still to this day. You would think the experience might have scarred me from donuts, but you would be wrong. It was still good.
SO, here are the 7 things I want to eat guilt free. These are all things that if I have a one…I will have them all:
1. Donuts
2. Pizza
3. Ice Cream
4. Oreos
5. Banana Bread
6. Cheeseburgers
7. Cinnamon Rolls.
That list took my less than 30 seconds to come up with. And I’ll be honest, I really hovered over that number 7 slot because what if something comes to me later that is so much more clearly my number 7? Should burritos go there instead? Or are burritos a close 8? I can’t overthink this. I definitely feel more guilty over indulging on Cinnamon Rolls than burritos.
Gosh, I don’t know why I have such a problem shedding those last 10 pounds I was complaining about last week. ;)

Donuts are my #1 on my list of things to eat, too. My answer to the “stranded on a desert island with only one food to eat?” answer is usually donuts. Or pizza. And pretty much the rest of your list. Banana bread is a good one – it doesn’t last more than a day around here. Add chocolate, ice cream, french fries, potato chips, Red Vines, and cheeseburgers, too, and you’ve got my last meal list.
I’m hungry.
Mama Kat says
Why are donuts so good!?!?! And banana bread is NOT safe in this house. I cannot and will not stay away from it. I really waffled between potato chips and burritos on #7! Red Vines are to die for…can we move to a deserted island with a lifetime supply of all these things PLEASE!?
Andrea says
I am there! You are the only other person I know who loves Red Vines, by the way. Everybody else scoffs at me. Team Twizzlers is combative and cruel.
Morgan says
Pizza! Oh, for the love of Pizza. I would eat that and Tacos. EVERY. Single. day. They are divine and each should have their own food group and be completely calorie free. Pizza is going to save the world.
Mama Kat says
They SHOULD have their own food group. And there should be a requirement for daily consumption!
Abby says
Everything on your list looks so good! The pee donut, though, not so much.
I’ve always felt that, if I’m ever on death row, for my last meal, I will ask for big thick slabs of french toast with a nice fat layer of egg coating, lovingly sprinkled with powdered sugar, and a heap of scrambled eggs on the side with about an entire pot of coffee. Not that I’ve really given it much thought…
Mama Kat says
I love how much consideration you’ve put into your last meal on death row. I’m even more curious about what might put you on death row…
John Holton says
I love all of the above and can eat them until I collapse into hypoglycemic shock.
Mama Kat says
I feel like between all of us, we could throw on hell of a potluck.

Donuts are a good one! Forgot about them. The cheeseburger is hilarious.
Jennifer Worrell says
Gotta have pizza! With a side of powdered donuts. And eclairs. So. Many. Eclairs!
