today…. it was monday.
blah.
we cleaned up the house all morning and caught up on some laundry.
it was needed.
then as a reward i took my kids to the pool.
and we walked in the door and over the speaker it was announced
"please clear the pool. there is lightning "
ugh.
it was just that kind of day.
and i really wanted to eat something sweet….
i REALLY wanted it.
but we have no groceries so we couldn't make any of it!
which made it even more of a monday.
nerds.
these were some of the pins that were making us drool over here today:
my kids weren't craving this… just me.
are you a sweet or salty cravings kind of person?
i am 100% sweet.
i never crave salty food.
and now… i have to go to sleep before i get out of bed and find something to eat.
do you do that too?
Sara - This post just about kills me. Reminds me that I’ve been wanting to make coffee ice cream Oreo pie. I’m dying to make that blueberry mojito. That is some outstanding food photography! I have Smitten Kitchen’s peanut butter brownies with chocolate ganache in the oven right now…
Rach - Well I won’t be starting that diet anytime soon.
Mindy - A sweet tooth definitely – and your Pinterest photos are not helping : ) I laugh at our grocery cart in slight embarassment at all the fresh veggies we put on the conveyor belt followed by a package of cookies and a couple candy bars. We are so bad…
Terrie G - Stop. it.
I just gained 5 pounds looking at the pictures!
I can go either way…
salty…chips & Salsa/dip
sweet …red vines licorice (preferable rope from the store where I grew up in Califonia…it’s all different now. 🙁 )
of course…all things Pinterest!
barbara - Sweet all the way and I could eat one of each!
Lora - Oh!My!Gosh!
York peppermint brownies!…. and everything else!
I LOVE sugar…
Tiffany - Sweets win for me. Every. Time. All of those look SO good!
happygirl - I like salty and sweet TOGETHER. And, this post gave me a toothache. Loved it.
Suzanne Gallagher - How I wish I was a nerd right now 🙂 YUMMY!
Linda - Now I’m craving those things!! I even had to go pin them! I totally have a sweet tooth too I never crave salt.
Gemma - Sweet all the way!!
stephanie - WOW. YUM.
If I am actually hungry I crave salty food–savory all the way. However, for treats and snacks it is all sweet, all the time. I never crave, say, chips. Or pretzels. Or Goldfish. But I do crave steak with grilled asparagus, or a loaded salad.
Alice H - I am both sweet and salty! Chips with salsa is one of my faves. Or a root beer float. I want both ALL the time!
Kimberlee Jost - Ultimately, salty.
Cheese, chips, crackers, pickles. Oh OLIVES.
I should have had a child named Olive.
Oh well.
Too late now.
nan - ditto! That was so bad to tease us like that. Just kidding.
Casey - We made those blueberry mojitos last week, and they were DELICIOUS! Switching out the berries for pineapple is really good too.
Kristin S - I think I just drooled on my computer.
Racheal - I crave both! Usually salty during the day and sweets at night. I think I’m going to have to make those chocolate peanut butter cup cookies now!
CathyC - Everything looks delicious! I crave both sweet & salty. Gotta have both. Now I want some ice-cream…
nora - I love both together! My favorite is M&Ms with some pretzels on the side. Pretzel M&Ms are just not as satisfying.
Robyn Farmer - Those all look yummy! This is one of our favorite summer treats.

Sabrina - I love sugar!! Sometimes I just sit on Pinterest and look at hundreds of pics of desserts just to satisfy my sweet tooth, but without the cals.
Allison - Sweets are my thing, especially chocolate. I’ve been trying to watch what I eat and breaking my chocolate addiction has been the HARDEST part of it all.
Laura - If I crave ANYTHING salty, it’s a Reese’s cup. Sugar – all the time.
jen - i used to have a bakery so yes…i crave sweet foods ALL THE TIME!!! and i make them too!
Kate S. - I dream about dessert – all day, all night!
meredith feisel - 100% Chocolate girl! Also, I just made an Oreo Ice Box Cake. The link I had was to use regular Oreos and I thought I’ll try it with mint… then I see your pin here. Lol. Its really simple. Made it for Daddy for Father’s Day.
Molly - Hey Meg, I was craving the snickerdoodle donut, but the link appears to be the icebox cake link. Can you link to the donut? I’d love all of those and the blueberry mojito sounds really good. Thanks for sharing……..
Valerie @ Chateau a la mode - I crave all foods, but mostly sweet. Pinterest has amazingly yummy looking recipes. I’m heading to my freezer right now after seeing all that yumminess. I think we have some Ben and Jerrys in there somewhere 😉
Lisa - I just crave food period. Ha! But sweets really are my addiction. 🙂 And yes sometimes I scavenge for food too. Ugh… Why is food soooo yummy!?
Kate - nerds
