I often end up having dessert first for lunch...I know...not the healthiest of eating choices, but life's too precious to not indulge now and then. ;)
thankfully, I have a medium build and can burn off calories easily. Also am a vegetarian, and end up eating lots of veggies and fruits as part of daily meals..so, am not very worried about health going down the drain..:) )

JFF question, how do all you moms indulge yourselves now and then? Small things? :))

What can I do next?

Chocolate anything, but especially mint chocolate chip ice cream....I have it after the kids are in bed so I don't have to share! Nothing ruins an indulgent food moment than being surrounded by kids with their mouths open like baby birds :o) hahaha

I love sweet potatoes but I usually eat them plain. Every once in a blue moon I will eat them as a 'dessert', topped with a teeny bit of butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

I love to endulge with a glass of cheap wine in a fancy wine glass in my PJs on the couch after the girls go to bed, and watch mindless TV. Perfect escapism. :)

Make breakfast for dinner. French toast or pancakes with breakfast sausage or bacon for dinner. No fruit just an over indulgence.

My hubby loves it when I bake for him, so every once in a while I'll make him something like a pie, bars, or cookies of some kind. Then, we both indulge for a few days until it's gone. It's a good thing I don't bake all the time!!

When I was young, sometimes our family of 5 would have a "backwards dinner." After a softball game, or during the summer if we played outside all the time, my parents would buy us ice cream, or we would make milkshakes, THEN have dinner! We did it about 3 or 4 times a year. It was so much fun!

A milk chocolate Mocha from Caribou Coffee, with whipped cream! An afternoon dessert! Second choice is a Chai Tea Latte! Oh, and in the fall they have Pumpkin Lattes!

I don't drink coffee in the morning, and only occasionally in the afternoon, so that is one of my indulgences...

My kids and I always have had "Pie Breakfast" after any major holiday where we had pies, since I seldom make a pie any other time of the year. And when they were younger we had "junk night" where you could eat anythng you wanted about twice a year and we had "candy dinner" twice a year where you could eat only candy (they really never had much candy while growing up).

I rather give my son any sweet treats mid day vs right before bed! So, to me it makes sense.

I like to have half a glass of red wine (about 3 sips) and a dark choc (80%) square.
