Dear Allrecipes,
I love you, I really do. You're user-friendly, very organized, and you have lots of pretty pictures. I've even forgiven you for that whole Orange-Sauce-Chicken-and-Fried-Rice fiasco. But why, for the love of my thighs do you insist on showcasing sweets all the time? Every single time I view your homepage, I see at least three pictures of items like chocolate eclair cake or lemon cream cheese frosting or decadent cinnamon rolls. Why, allrecipes, why?!? Don't you know me at all? Don't you know I have two bags of cookie dough, birthday cake, and cake balls in my freezer as we speak? It's like you're mocking me... taunting me... baiting me.
It's not nice. It's not nice at all.
Love,
Fatty

I do love Allrecipes, but you are so right. There is always some delicious cupcake recipe, staring at me!
Will you send some of that cookie dough, birthday cake OR cake balls my way? I'm not picky...just hungry for treats.
I guess I'm not a firm believer of allrecipes yet, but I might have to use the website a bit more often (and try to ignore the sweets??).
I can't even go there, what with a gluten problem and all. I cry at the grocery store,even.
Ahhhh the temptation!!!! As long as the stuff doesn't sneak into my cart at the store I MIGHT be able to resist...
maybe.
I was going to say that perhaps it would be better to stop visiting that website, and all others like unto it.
But then I realized that I have never once been to allrecipes, and it hasn't seemed to have helped me one bit.
Perhaps my thighs haven't gotten the memo yet.
Allrecipes sounds like a jerk.
I've tried canceling my subscription a dozen times, but they don't believe me when I say I really don't want to be inundated every week with dozens of recipes I will never cook. Maybe they're trying to tell me something...
I always go to allrecipes with good intentions (went just this morning looking for a yummy mexican stew recipe...) what do I come away with though??? Yeah - things that make me want to eat sugar sugar and more sugar.
Thank goodness I have no time to bake so the temptations usually end up with me just chewing yet another piece of gum...
and hey - I think someone's lying to me... because there's no way that with all this 5 calorie gum my butt should still look like this!
We are so much alike.
You should give in....and make it, I'll come visit and help you eat it...I can also help you make it.
Note to Self: Never under ANY circumstances subscribe to Allrecipes.
I didn't even know you COULD subscribe. I just go there when I need something specific. And chocolaty.
My stomach just growled. Thanks a lot!
