Ok, for those of you who aren't familiar with the story, we have a "cinnamon roll monster" that likes to hit our house in the middle of the night. She's been knows to down 4 cinnamon rolls in one night, leaving only 1/2 of one per child come morning. Needless to say, when the kids woke up they
'd quite often. Well I felt her prowling around once more this evening!!! Those cinnamon rolls just kept calling her name. "weaverdelooh, weaverdelooh..." Oh they looked soooo good!!! Thinking one wouldn't hurt very much I decided to take a peak at the back of the package. That's when I realized there were 246 calories PER cinnamon roll!!!!! Ahhhkkk!!!! That cinnamon roll monster was downing 1000 calories in one sitting before!!!! (plus a glass of 100% whole milk) Well, not wanting to be
or
with myself in the morning I decided to chase the cinnamon roll monster away!
Instead, I recalled having "cinnamon roll" instant oatmeal available and decided to take a peak at the back of that package. Sure enough 160 calories per serving, and I KNOW it was SOOOO much healthier than the real thing. I don't know that my taste buds enjoyed it quite as much, but I've eaten one serving and I'm content enough to stop. However, I tend to think had that cinnamon roll monster gotten loose there would have been no stopping until after 1000 calories were already downed! So I say yeah for me!!!!! 160 calories v. 1000 +?
Now, let's hope that the cinnamon roll monster decides to be nice and share with the kiddos in the a.m.. Hopefully she'll even share the two extra so as not to leave any behind tempting me!!!!
giggles, laughs, having fun with this one!
