Fast Food Confessions

A few days ago, Seth came over, as per usual, but this time he had a particularly sheepish look on his face.

“I have a confession.”

“OK.”

[My mind wandered toward the worst—what is it? Lies? Infidelity?]

“Last night…after I left…I went to Wendy’s.”

[Insert sigh of relief here].

Seth is not alone in his “weakness” for fast food—I’m pretty sure everyone, no matter how health-oriented they may be, has a hankering for a certain fast food item at least occasionally. I, for example, get cravings for Wendy’s Frosties and Chick-fil-A’s waffle fries (even better together!).

Which fast food items are your favorites? How often do you indulge in it?

I didn’t stop by the drive-thru today…but I had some pretty satisfying eats, nonetheless.

A waffle-wich was on the menu for breakfast.

Lunch consisted of a much beloved combination: sweet potato with cottage cheese, dried fruit, & nuts.

Tonight’s dinner featured an Ellie recipe, Snow Pea, Scallion, and Radish Salad.

Apparently, I’ve been missing out on the wonders of radishes—they’re tasty, cheap, and colorful. This salad combination was sweet and refreshing—a winner in my book!

With that, I bid you good night!

   I actually don’t get cravings for fast food. Since I know whats in it, it kind of makes me cringe.

   My fast food craving is usually Taco Bell! I know it’s not real Mexican food and I know it’s not great for me and I usually regret it later… but I love it! (Oh, and I hear ya on the fries and frosty at the same time!)

   Congrats on Margot!!!

   I crave fast food all the time. I have a love for things salty and greasy! I really like a fast food place in Nebraska called Runza. They have the best fries!

   Ahh. The frosty. There really is quite nothing like it, right? What the heck is their special ingredient?

   I don’t get cravings for fast food now, either…I get cravings for things like Terra Chips and other healthy “treats”

   I recently posted some radisishes on my blog and was amazed how I received comments stating that they had “forgotten” them….Oh, man. I eat them everyday.
   Perfect hummus accomplice.

   I’m convinced Pea D would rather tell me he was having an affair than tell me he went through a drive-thru.

   My cravings are usually for sweet treats! Chocolate fudge, ice cream, cake (I know you like the icing only), macaroons…

   That waffle looks yummy. Now, I want one

   Honestly I don’t ever get cravings for fast- food– coincidentally it makes me more nauseous then hungry to think about hehe.

   I love radishes! I always forget about them though. Hmm, fast food per se I don’t eat often but I do eat a lot of junk like cookies and chocolate….boo. If I did get fast food out, though, it would definitely be french fries. I haven’t in so long and I think I’m overdue!

    Bahahah Seth! I don’t think I’ve said this yet but I love your header and new tagline!

    That waffle ‘which looks so delicious! I am on a total pb and banana thing right now…I must have that!

    HAAAAA! he should meet my husband who will PROUDLY bring home the empty wrappers. i actually don’t get true fast food cravings, but the pizza + burritos that will entice me are really not much better

    The only fast food type food I ever crave is french fries and there are better places to get them than a drive-thru, thankfully. But my husband goes through that every once in a while.

    hahah- I love that he told you he had a confession- hilarious! I don’t really crave fast food…its just never done it for me. I guess the only item I could say was every once in a while I’d love a GOOD fountain diet coke. That waffle-wich sounds ridiculous awesome

    Haha that is too funny! I have to say that sometimes the occasional Wendy’s frosty and fries break into my routine. NOT very often…I think it has been a year since I had Wendy’s…I love to dip the fries in the frosty…haha ::blushes::

    Sonic and Five Guys are definitely my weaknesses. Luckily I am too busy to ever stop at one haha ;- )

    I love your waffle and banana…yummy!

    my boyfriend does that to me, too….
    him: “please don’t be mad at me…”
    me: “what? huh? why would i be mad at you? what did you do?!”
    him: “i was bad…i went to taco bell last night.”
    me: “haha, i guess i can forgive you”

    my fast food weaknesses are chick-fil-a (chargrilled sandwiches and waffle fries) and chocolate dipped cones from dairy queen

    I’m prone to getting a chicken sandwich every once and a while from the drive thru. So bad for me! BTW, wafflewich is a brilliant name and idea!
