So I have thins thing called a "sweet tooth". And for those of you who are fellow "sweeters" (as opposed to "salters") you can sympathize with me. Well, maybe.
Seriously, I have to only smell cake to begin the drool process. And The Food Network does not help me in this process when they do a program on delicious treats that includes an overview of the (new to me) lovely and (I was soon to find out) completely delicious Mrs. Prindable's Handmade Confections. Via the tantalizing show "The Top 5 Sugary Seductions", I discovered the wonder of the caramel apple. For that is Mrs. Prindables specialty.
Little did I know that the purchase I made late last year (while on maternity leave) would haunt me (no Halloween pun intended) for the foreseeable future...
The first bite into that triple-chocolate covered caramel apple was all she wrote for me. As I buy the majority of my wares on line (aside from going to the grocery store) I get tons of coupons and advertisements for things. And Mrs. Prindables is no exception. You name the Holiday and they have the properly decorated caramel apple for your gift-giving (and consuming) needs. And I'll admit that I probably buy 2-3 a year. I mean they are really that good.
So, when I see (clickable just for you) the ad below, I am very sorely tempted to make yet another purchase.
However, my brain gets the best of my stomach and I know that my resilience just HAS TO win this battle. Because there is some sugary-sweet candy corn and the ever popular matching pumpkins waiting for me at home and this time of year does enough of a number on my waistline.
I wouldn't call what I am doing right now a "diet", but I am trying to stay on the road of maintenance and doing a pretty good job so far. The "diet" can begin anew when January rolls around and then only if I feel like it as apparently my husband likes my "squishy bits" and I can't complain too much about how I look when he says things like that.
But, if those treats look as appetizing to you as they do to me, please check them out! You can thank me later (or curse me as appropriate) for your new found addiction.
I keep meaning to "unsubscribe" from their e-mail list but I just can't bring myself to do it just yet...
