Blame Mom for My Sweet Tooth๐Ÿ˜…



Back Story

I've always loved sweets since I was a kid and I may have shared before that I blame my mom for my sweet tooth, lol! I can still remember when I was in grade school and I usually had a bar of snickers or a few pieces of Caramel candies. They must have been very cheap affordable back then. And as if it was fated that my best friend's snacks were mostly snickers too and we often had them at her mother's office at the school clinic.

Mom used to say "when you are hungry just take a bite but don't eat all in one go." The very reason why I literally laughed when I saw the ads sometime ago that said, "Hungry? Grab A Snickers" because it felt like it was mom talking, lol!

Cloud 9 Overload. Yep, that's my bite๐Ÿ˜‚

At home, mom often made pancakes, topping them with slightly crushed Choc Nuts and sweet rhubarb jam as spread. Her pancakes are the sweetest and tastiest, my memory replays.

And perhaps there was too much sugar in my diet during my youth that when I was in 5th grade, my four front teeth got replaced with porcelains. Mom couldn't get mad because she was guilty too, haha!

My love for sweet treats and or delights went on and when I started working, more variety got added. I'm no fond of milk chocolates though. My preferences are mostly those that had nuts in them - i.e. Hershey's Kisses (with Almonds), Baby Ruth, fudge cakes, ice cream, Choco Crunchies among others.

The Farmboy even remembers how I used to buy packs of Snickers when we started dating. We got married and chocolates are still part of the equation. He knows it's one of my weaknesses so he'd use it to pacify me when I'm annoyed, lol!

A few years ago when we were at the other house, I used to prepare or make some sweet goodies (chocolate cookies, brownies, leche flan, graham cake, and at one time I made ice cream rolls. Kind of lost it though when we moved to our second home.

Present Time

Nowadays, there's not a single day that passes without me consuming something sweet. The husband loves having his treats too and snacks in the house can be banana cakes, Special Hopia in ube flavor or loaves with sweet spread (like the ones below).


When I'm feeling hungry and it's not yet meal time, chances are, I'd be taking a bite from a bar of Cloud 9 Overload (something I prefer because of the nuts in it and it's a lot cheaper than Snickers, lol!). I would say this is one thing I could not live without for long that's why we always make sure we have a box or two in the house.

Occasionally, when we are out, ice cream would usually be something we'd enjoy.

And lastly, if there is one healthy sweet thing that I love, it would be our own produce, the Seรฑorita bananas.



And sweet drinks?

Seldom had them but recently, due to some hyper acidity discomforts, I switched black coffee with this Swiss Miss Choco Milk which is very, very sweet.



Only time will tell if this is gonna change soon. But until then, I'm just gonna enjoy them :)

Cheers!

Haha. Yummy yummy ๐Ÿคค write up. So do you want me to blame you now for my sweet tooth? ๐Ÿ˜‚. Because you are making me feel like having all these things.

Itโ€™s good to have those chocolates and creams. I donโ€™t take them. But once I am ready for it. I go beyond the normal. I might even spend all my last penny on it that very day. So thatโ€™s why I do stop myself from taking them.

Nice read here. Hehe.

It's interesting how you take sweets. It's like you won't take them but when you do have them, you go all in๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you lots and have a wonderful day :)

Yeah. I do the same thing for cakes too. My sister makes them. I donโ€™t take then often. Just once a blue moon. But that very opportunity, she will have to hide the rest so I canโ€™t see them. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚.

And yeah. It was a nice read from you. With those mouthwatering ๐Ÿคฉ captures

Most bananas, just before they bruise, will split into thirds by pushing your finger into the end where the seed is. Toast 4 slices of bread and spread peanut butter on each slice. Split a banana and break each split into two halves. Place 3 on one piece of peanut buttered toast and three on onother and cover with the remaining peanut buttered toast slices. Cut corner to corner and enjoy. One of my favorite treats at Grandma's House.

Aah, that sounds so delicious! Thank you Michael, would be nice to try that too!

I do make banana splits once in a blue moon ๐Ÿ˜‚ and also put slices of them in breads and add either peanut butter or sweetened milk ๐Ÿ˜Š

I love ice cream, one of my favorite flavors is pistachio, but the truth is that I enjoy all flavors equally. On weekends I enjoy a new ice cream that they sell near my house, it's a chocolate flavored popsicle filled with condensed milk, cookies and strawberry, it's a delicacy!
Thank you very much for sharing, a hug!

Did you watch the series titled "Sweet tooth", it has not to do with the article but you remind me of it.

I love sweet things too but do not like consuming sugar excessively and my mom is never in support. To date, she still brings me drinks for pile just because she knows how much I love cakes, chocolate, peanut butter, snack, and others.

I haven't watched that series, George :) Sounds something interesting.

Too much of everything is bad, that is why we do need to discipline ourselves too. Your mom is so sweet๐Ÿ˜

Chocolate is a very favorite thing for a kid and in my case, I was a super addicted chocolate lover. After seeing the chocolate bite picture you shared here I am thinking to go outside and buy some chocolate. But I don't wanna go outside now because I am very tired. !PIZZA
