I only disclose half the boxes of Girl Scout cookies I buy to my boyfriend. He doesn’t need to know about the rest!

It's a pint of ice cream, whatever flavor I have decided to try. I always promise to share with the kids, and somehow, magically, I never do.

There’s a local market that makes Biscoff banana pudding. I bought a container with every intention of sharing with my family…but I finished it entirely by myself and have no intention of telling them it exists.

Thankfully my husband doesn't eat sweets and my kid is too young, so I don't have to share yet. But when I had roommates, I'd often hide that 8x8 of brownies in my room. Brownies are precious things, and if I dreamed about coming home and eating a brownie it better still be there!

My dentist is inconveniently located, but it’s my a great bakery. My treat after the appointment is a slice of chocolate cake. I earned that slice, I never share it!

MY love for Banana Pudding makes me a greedy selfish person. So I hid my pudding in one of the

meat compartment !!

My ice cream- because ice cream is life, I buy “decoy” ice cream for my kids and husband- you know, a good ol’ gallon of Dryers or Breyers . I put it visibly in our freezer and then when I’m flying solo I make runs to my favorite local fancy pants ice cream shop to buy a pint of my own- sometimes inspired by Nacho grandma’s banana pudding or something with lavender or olive oil…. The good stuff. And I take it home and hide it in the garage freezer reserved for what my kids call the “yucky stuff”. Always best to put my ice cream behind a decoy like a bag of frozen soup stock veggies or leftover frozen gumbo from the holidays. May they never discover my secret!

Every now and then I get a hankering for a slice of cake, but not just any cake. It has to be one of these two classics:

- Caramel Cake (yellow cake w/ caramel frosting)

or

- Yellow cake with chocolate frosting

They often come frozen in our grocery delivery so I sit them on the kitchen counter where of course my husband sees them.

He always asks me to save him a few bites but as I get to just the last few bites it doesn’t seem worth it to leave just a “few bites” behind.

German Chocolate Cake is my obsession and if Baskin-Robbins has it as one of their seasonal flavors then I'm all over it & not planning to share. I'm willing to share a German Chocolate cake with my husband cause it's his favorite too and I can't hide it 😀

I would share almost any dessert, but only if someone was present. Eating all by myself is how I get away with not sharing the chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, anything with chocolate and peanut butter, anything with cookie butter. It's also why I exercise by myself.
