I'll never give up...

I've been doing a lot of research on other diets, besides my own, to see what's popular right now and what's working. Most diets come down to restrictions. No gluten, no carbs, no sugar, etc...which often end up translated as "no flavor". My life revolves around food. The last thing I want to do is tell myself that I can't have something. While this whole "diet" thing is still a work in progress, it got me thinking about what items I could never give up. Some of the items I probably should give up, but that's the luxury of living my own life and coming to terms with balance. It's not like I'm eating a jar of mayonnaise every day for lunch...

I'll never give up...

Hellman's Mayonnaise
I don't care what you say, NOTHING compares to Hellman's Mayonnaise. I do like making homemade mayonnaise, but it's a completely different taste.

Ginger Ale 

It has high fructose corn syrup and just as much sugar as any other soda but it's so damn delicious. I've known for it to cure not only stomach aches, but headaches, hangovers and a broken nail. It's my go-to beverage when I'm feeling crappy.

Ice Cream

I could go dairy-free if ice cream wasn't on that list. I'll eat ice cream in the middle of the winter. I'm dying to get an ice cream attachment for my Kitchen Aid so I can make tons of flavors for you guys, like basil ice cream, coffee ice cream, caramel ice cream, blackberry ice cream...the list goes on...

Milk Duds

No movie theater visit is complete without my box of Milk Duds.

I'm sure this list could go on and on. They aren't things I have on a daily basis, but they certainly will be sticking around for awhile.

What foods could you not bare to give up?
