Is there a food you love that you won't buy?
Someone had suggested here that I use my Panini maker to make a Nutella and strawberry sandwich on pound cake slices. This sounds like complete heaven to me. But I know that most likely I will not make this anytime soon. Why you ask? Nutella is one of those foods that is loved too much and therefore banned from entering the house. Heck it's not even safe in the grocery bag in the back seat of my car! You see, Nutella will be devoured instantly before it makes it to the cupboard by me, myself and I. My Nonna gave it to us as kids and the comfort factor, coupled with the taste factor creates the perfect storm in the snack food sea. Nonna, comfort, yum - equals me with a spoon in the closet. Anyone else have a favorite food that tests your better judgement?

Ice cream....usually just plain old vanilla, but other flavors have been known to have that effect on me. I buy it by the pint so it will get eaten before freezer burn sets in, but I needent worry about that, because it's usually gone in 2 sittings...1 sitting if I'm particulary tempted!

ThatGirl153, have you considered getting Nutella in snack packs? Better to ration the crack to a small serving at a time than to do without

Sure, at least to have in the house: large bags of potato chips, ice cream, sour cream, cake...

Creamy Jif peanut butter. Although it's not as deadly if I'm getting exercise.

NUTELLA IS MINE TOO!

Trader Joe's triple gingersnaps. I simply cannot buy them. A definite red-light food!

Haha, I saw this and immediately thought of nutella. It is the devil!

Doughnuts. I can eat a dozen, all by myself. In one day.
Nutella is tough for me as well. I've been known to put it on anything (including a spoon, or, hell - a finger will do!).

Trader Joe's Macadamia & Cashew Nut Butter. I told my huband to forbid me from buying it, and then I snuck out and got some last week anyway. Oh it is so divine.

Peanut butter, nutella, butter, margarine, doritos, any chips, chocolate, cheese, white bread, instant noodles, nibbly nuts, milo, hot chocolate, cookies, refined sugar, refined flour, cream, ice cream...
Sounds like a pretty boring household, eh? :P sighs.
On occasion, I"ll bake for someone and buy a block of butter. Mr Turkiyaki is onto the remnant butter bits like he's been starved for weeks.

Sorry about the panini recommendation, I didn't know about your Nutella problems ;)
I can't buy those little chocolate-covered donuts... you know, the little ones covered in fake chocolate that you can buy at gas stations. I devour them... they are so good.

It's always the things I wasn't allowed to have as a kid: purple grape juice (because of the stains) and Maui Sweet Onion Potato Chips. I will drink purple grape juice until I make myself sick! And potato chips... I won't stop until that purple bag is empty.

Provolone cheese and salami, which I only buy when I get company for antipasti.
Rice pudding damn those bastards at Kozy Shack.
Little Debbie oatmeal pies.

Oh yes, Kozy Shack.
They come in snack-packs now, apparently.

Crackers. I can't stop from eating a whole roll of saltines once I start. Or wheat thins by the handful. Or buttery Ritz crackers. Yeah, I no longer keep crackers (aka crunchy crack) in the house.

Nutella, White Cheddar Cheez Its, cookies, doritos cool ranch, condensed milk (it is heaven on saltines),
Also I have found myself resisting buying bananas since I love them with peanut butter. To think of it, I also have purposefully not bought peanut butter because I can go through a jar in less than a week. So those two will probably go on the list.
