I Heart Oreos



I'm definitely picky about my treats. I really don't like candy. I don't like milk chocolate (except in rare cases like peanut M&Ms), and ice cream just doesn't thrill me. I like my sugar in the form of baked goods--cookies, pies, tortes, cakes, etc. And I like them homemade, preferably warm, right out of the oven. So it surprises me that I seriously love Oreos. Because I usually won't waste my time or calories eating any other store bought cookies. Yet, I never get tired of Oreos. I can (and usually do) eat about 8-10 in a sitting. (You don't even want to know how many Weight Watchers points that is. These babies are NOT low fat). I like them dipped in milk, never dry. And now I like them even better because they come in a package with a resealable flap. Have you seen this? It has revolutionized my Oreo experience. I used to have to try to cram the Oreo bag into a big ziplock bag (it barely fit) because once you opened a bag of Oreos, they would quickly lose their crunch. But now, with the new bag, you can pull out a couple (Ok, twelve) and reseal it for next time. Man, Oreos, I heart you more than ever.

Oh man, I wish I didn't like ice cream. It is my dieting nemesis! Have you tried the Cookies & Cream milkshakes at Chick-Fil-A? Holy deliciousness.

No, I haven't. Yum. But I have tried the ones at Carls Jr. and they are seriously TO DIE FOR.

I'm not a big ice cream fan either, but pair it with Oreos and I can't refuse. My fav are the Oreo and caramel shakes at Arctic Circle. They're the best. I also love pie - I've never met a pie that I didn't like - and pie must be served with ice cream.

Oreos and milk are my favorite dessert. Ya- Don't buy the large box at costco when your 9 months pregnant and your husband is out of town..LOL
( no wonder my baby was almost 10 lbs!)

Yes, Oreos and milk were meant for each other. Preferably frozen.
