Perhaps my body is deficient in those vital nutrients of sugar, milk, and more sugar and so it’s craving the things it needs and that’s why I’m thinking ice cream. Hey, it’s almost believable.

When I set a goal of eating healthy during the week I find I hit the good stuff pretty hard on the weekends–and for me, weekends start Friday night. One of my favorite dessert spots is Cold Stone Creamery. For those of you without a Cold Stone, let me fill you in. Cold Stone makes their own (decadent) ice cream daily. But that’s not the best part; customers get to design their own ice cream creation by choosing from a variety of mix-ins. The ice cream and mix-ins are then hand blended on a frozen granite stone.

On one particular visit, instead of ordering my “usual” (mint ice cream with brownies or Oreos), I decided to exit my comfort zone and try the Cold Stone creation known as Germanchocolatekake. It consists of chocolate ice cream with coconut, pecans, brownie, and caramel. It was so good it even rivaled Maggie Moo’s Better Batter Cake Carnival (even though Better Batter Cake Carnival uses a non-chocolate ice cream).

If you have a Cold Stone nearby and haven’t yet stopped in, I suggest you don’t. It can easily become a serious addiction. I’m already trying to figure out when I can get my next fix. –Emily
