There are times in my life where I need to pull out a big 'ole honkin calorie, fat ridden recipe.
This was one of those moments and I'm not apologizing for it, damn it!
Guess what else? I used canned biscuits, biatch!
Yeah, you read that right. Canned biscuits! What are you going to do about it? A whole lotta nothin is what you're going to do because it's gone!
Natalie had a friend over for a sleepover and we had it for breakfast.
When her friends parents came over to pick her up I gave the other half to them. GASP!
I didn't even bother to tell them how bad it was for them.
In fact, I had my hubby hand it to them and I hid in the bedroom. Therefore, it can not be considered my fault when they gain the 5 pounds they will gain from consuming just a little nub of this stuff.
This naughty little dish should really be illegal.
I wonder what it would taste like fried?

I suggest you go for a run on the treadmill now. Who knows how much you have just gained from reading this post and looking at the pictures.
I'm silently weeping for my ass and thighs.
I'll be stronger next time, I swear!
My waistline just expanded. And I thank you for that.
