Cheesecake Heaven

So I never met a piece of cheesecake that I didn’t like. 

This was an awesome display of the varieties of it at the Cheesecake Factory.

I remember my mom used to make a pretty darn great cheesecake (and a lot of other good food)!

I still can see the graham cracker crust with the sweet hot creamy cheese filling coming out of the oven. 

Unfortunately one of the conundrum of life is that all the good tasting things are so darn fattening and bad for us. 

I think though if they can make fake burgers like Beyond that taste like the real thing, then surely at some point they will figure out how to make a skinny cheesecake that tastes good. 

There are still some mysteries left in this universe for us to unravel. 😉

Rainbow Cake :)

Rainbow cake is happy. 

Price is not bad for $3.99.

Calories are horrific at 750!

What happened to the broken blue part of the cake at the bottom–maybe that’s where another 50 calories got lopped off. 

Anyway, it’s Friday and I want to wish everyone a happy Rainbow Cake weekend and a Shabbat Shalom!

Calories Extreme!

Someone mentioned that they went to the Cheesecake Factory the other day.

They said they bought a slice of cheesecake. 

I asked: “Was it the Oreo Cheesecake?”

They said, “yeah!”

But they went on, “It was too much for one person to eat.”

Uh, you think?  

Check out how many calories are in one piece of this “Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake” –>>1,630!

Yes, that’s one slice, not the whole cake!!!

And over 50% is from fat!

Take all this in context: The calories for an average female and male is just 1,900 and 2,500, respectively, if your moderately active. 

So one slice of cheesecake like this Oreo flavor is around 86% or 65% of the total recommended calorie intake for a women or man for the entire day!

What the heck do they put into this cheesecake–butter, cream cheese, sugar by the truckload!

I know it must be good, but does it also have to be this deadly! 😉

A New Type Of Chocolate Chips

Ok, dieting is hard enough with all highly processed food out there these days. 

And everything is carbs, carbs, and more carbs…it’s literally poison for the body. 

But when you go into the store and see Lays chocolate covered potato chips…this just brings you to the verge of sin. 

The top are milk chocolate covered potato chips, and the bottom ones are dark chocolate covered ones. 

Choose your poison?

This is definitely a new type of chocolate chips…Hershey’s eat you heart out. 

I told my wife pleadingly, “Can’t I just taste one?” 😉
