Guilty Pleasures — on the Road


Cinn-A-stack Pancakes

Traveling & road trips are fun.  They’re the perfect excuse to indulge in the worst sorts of guilty pleasures with only minimal guilt.  Why?  You’re in some state of fatigue.  Always.  You’re hungry.  Usually.  And, most importantly, you’re in a city full of strangers.  There’s no one there (that you know) to witness your descent into decadence and debauchery.

Under normal circumstances, we’d avoid the Ihop as if it were diseased.  But, if we’re on the road?  The gloves are off.  Good judgement is thrown out the window.  Pancakes doused in two types of sugar-rich sauces sound perfect.  Sign us up.  Cinnastack pancakes… We are there.  First, the pancakes are schmeared with a layer cinnamon icing.  Then, for good measure, they’re drizzled with a buttery sugar glaze.  The lily is gilded with a huge dollop of whipped cream.  Who needs maple syrup?  This is a sugar rush without a drop of syrup needed.

Then, a bowl of fruit is used to confuse the body.  It neutralizes the guilt and washes away all of the empty calories.  Did we really eat that?  No one will ever know.
