How To Lose A Scale In Ten Weighs: Sinful Snow Food

Hello citizens of the Internet! If you're like me, then you are currently snowed in due to the impending doom of the East coast's most recent snow storm. Snow days are a great way to rest up, recharge your motivation fuel, and catch up on work that may be overwhelming you. Most importantly, however, snow days are the perfect day to, as they say on Parks and Rec, "Treat yo self!"

In my larger days, I definitely discovered my fair share of delectable food creations...most of which are PERFECT for snow days. Even though I am certainly more responsible about my health/exercise plans now, than in the past, I know that it is OKAY to take a day off every now and again!

Here are a few of my personal creations for you to try/enjoy:

Nutella, or Die:

Scoop out the center of a carton of vanilla ice cream ~ Scoop in a generous amount of Nutella ~ Place the top layer of ice cream back on and refreeze ~ et Voila! Nutella ice cream!

No-Fire S'mores:

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil ~ cover foil with graham crackers ~ cover graham crackers with mini- milk chocolate bars ~ place a layer of mini marshmallows on top of the chocolate ~ spread a layer of nutella on the top layer of graham crackers before placing them on marshmallows. Leave in 175 degree oven for thirty minutes.

C-Squared Cookies & Cream Milkshake:

cover six individual oreos in chocolate chip cookie dough ~ bake in oven until thoroughly cooked (usually for 15 min. in a 350 degree oven) ~ scoop two generous amounts of vanilla ice cream into a blender~ add choco-chip oreos~ add desired amount of milk ~ go to town with the blender!! (served best with whipped cream, drizzled with melted milk chocolate or melted nutella)

Nutella Cookie Sandwiches:

This one's simple ~ make chocolate chip cookies ~ spread nutella in between two ~ either eat while warm, or freeze to make a wonderful spin on an ice cream sandwich.
