Since I decided not to go back to Dr. Pepper (I quit when I was pregnant) I have tried other drinks...my favorites are A&W rootbeer, Sunkist and Martineli's Sparkling Cider. I have come to realize that it is ALL in the carbonation. (As you'll notice with the above picture....A&W, Sunkist, it is in the same "family" as Dr. Pepper...maybe there is some evil addictive plot...)
I know how bad it is for your bones, etc., but man, that first gulp, as it burns going down your throat...Mmmmmmmm...yummy! If my hubby, Jason, and I are sharing a drink, he usually lets me take the first gulp. Now isn't that true love!!
Then there is this really good chocolate chip bundt cake. I made it a few days ago--let me tell you--I could eat it all by myself. Makes me sound like I have a sad, sad, life. Really I don't...I just have addictions. Admit it--you have an addiction of some sort too. :) Here is the recipe:
1 chocolate cake mix
1 6oz pkg. of chocolate instant pudding
4 eggs
1/2 c. veg. oil
1 c. water
Mix all of the above together and add chocolate chips.
Put in a greased and floured bundt cake pan and bake on 350 for 50-60 mins. Mmmmm, Mmmmm good.
Not a picture of the bundt cake, but it gives you the idea.
All of the above is SOOOO great for your waist line! ;)

Yumba! I am not a big carbonation fan, but I do like A&W root beer on occasion. Now, the bundt cake, THAT I could eat more than just "on occasion." That is the only cake Malia likes, but my recipe is a little different. I am just glad that you have found something to fill your Dr. Pepper void. There is nothing like putting just the right thing in your tummy to make you feel all better...
A&W root beer...oh my gosh, that is pretty much the best drink ever! I love it! (that and rasberry lemonade...mmmm:)) i will have to try the bundt cake! sounds delish! AML
I have said it once...i'll say it again...it's a good thing we aren't drinkers!!! Being addicted to carbination and chocolate are enough!!
Now, don't tell me you are even the slightest bit concerned about your waistline! I almost never drink soda, but when I do I admit that I enjoy it! mmmmm I am a cream soda person myself though.
YOu are my hero. I have a new recipe to try tonight - yay!
MMMMMM. That cake looks yummy. I'll have to try it when I feel a bit better. My mouth is watering for a Ppppppepsi!
Addictions...they are an interesting issue. I, too, have a soda pop addiction. But, strange and this may sound, I think I am addicted to going to the gas station to buy the sutff.
When I pop open a bottle of Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi while at home, it does not fulfill me to the same degree. Go figure. My sisters' Slugger and Karma have the same issue. What is up with that?
The cake sounds delicious! I'll have to try it once I get my own kitchen. :) As for carbonation, I love Creme Soda too.
