I thought I was bad, but your list was really disgusting! I most often krave (why the “k” by the way?) soft pretzels from Pretzel Boys and coke (the soda). If we still had the Pretzel Boys on State St., I’d be about 10lbs heavier by now.

Oh, and wine. I crave wine. A lot. Often.

Baw haw haw!~! Emily you cracked me up! Oh man I am a hypocrite too, scolding my hubby for buying crud for the kids and then I go and eat it myself (secretly if possible!) Funny bones are rather irresistible to me…and I adore frozen pizza. I ate them as a kid and the love has never left. Krispy Kremes rock my world! And the last store in my area to carry them did the unthinkable and stopped. Crisis! Thanks for sharing your kravings and giving me a good laugh

Oreos dunked in milk…up to the first knuckle so the ENTIRE cookie gets dunked. Another one for which we admonish the little ones, even though it’s the best way!

Chocolate chips out of the bag.
Okay..anything chocolate…especially the cereals… Cocoa Crispies, Count Chocula…

Pancake batter…
Bacon at the all-you-can eat buffet…is there any other reason to get the buffet?
Filet-o-fish sandwiches and McD’s cheeseburgers…nothing fancy, but you need at least 2 of them…
Guacamole…spoon, no chips.
And perhaps my favorite…the one for which Em gawks at me every time I order it…
…Creamed Chipped Beef on a Waffle.

Think I’ll have a salad for lunch.

Now you know why I spend so much time in your pantry closet. Confession time? I love the Oreos and the Chocalate Chip cookies. Thank you for not keeping them in the cookie jar. It was hard to cover up when I would eat the last one in the jar. All I need now would be malomars. Love you and see you soon!!!

When I saw your title I was convinced you were going to write about my favorite Kraving (I love this term!) Krispy Kreme!

JUST YESTERDAY I watched my friend’s 3-year-old daughter eat a bowl of mac and cheese with hot dog pieces and I felt totally jealous. I wanted some. And I wanted it then. I settled for leftover pasta with slices of Trader Joe’s chicken sausage….and it just wasn’t the same.

One word – Chips….mainly just the boring plain ones, no flavors. I can’t be alone in the house with them. My teen daughter knows this and brings me a bag whenever she wants to ask an especially generous favor of me…it works every time.

It’s gotta be Kraft mac and cheese. Just thinking about adding a stick of Land o Lakes butter to orange powder and whole milk sends me into fits of nostalgia and delight. I sometimes fantasize about fasting for a week, sending my husband out on errands, then eating an entire box with a wooden spoon straight from the saucepan. So slurpy and orange – pure bliss!

thank you Emily for allowing me to share my secret shame.
