My Guilty Pleasure
A guilty pleasure is defined as “something one enjoys despite feeling guilt for it.”
I consider myself a pretty disciplined person but I will admit my guilty pleasure is pizza. If you follow me on twitter you know my wonderful wife is out of town for a few days on a much deserved girls trip.
What does this mean for me and the boys? It means pizza. Lots of frozen pizza. If I decide to get adventurous we might try peanut butter and jelly and maybe, just maybe, we may try mac and cheese.
Tuesday night in my attempt to cook the perfect frozen pizza, I made a huge mistake. It was the worst frozen pizza disaster I’ve ever witnessed in my life. Here the proof.
How is it even possible to screw up a frozen pizza that bad? But never fear. We somehow found a way to make this pizza work and we didn’t go to bed hungry. Turns out pizza does not have to be flat or round to taste good.
So let’s level the playing filed. What’s your guilty pleasure?
I can’t say I’d consider pizza a guilty pleasure for anyone (it contains all of the basic food groups!), but that picture is GREAT!
A true guilty pleasure is liking Miley Cyrus, or better yet, having attended a concert by her father.

Ice Cream – hands down!
@Deb, that’s Brandi’s guilty pleasure as well. She wants it after every meal!
milk duds…and yes I may have had a handful at 10:30 am today. Maybe more than a handful.
.-= joyce´s last blog ..Cheaper by the Dozen =-.
Crunch’s Eskimo bars. It’s made me fall into gluttoney!
.-= diane´s last blog ..Labor Day Weekend =-.
Nacho chips…..I like ‘em just with salsa and sour cream….loaded with meat, cheese, lettuce, beans, the works…..and every way in between.

How did you screw up that pizza? I’ve never seen anything like it!
I hope Brandi doesn’t see this photo while she’s away- and hoping you cleaned the oven for her-like a good disciplined should.
My guilty pleasure? GODIVA chocolate.

Pete…I wrote a post about you today on my blog. So anybody that wants to show some love to Pete today…come on over.. http://blakeunfettered.wordpress.com
Now…about the pizza…how could you be that big of a moron! Who messes up a frozen pizza that bad? It looks like you threw it from across the room. I think this was on purpose! You were jacking this up so you wouldn’t have to ever cook! Brandi, am I right?
I’m playing with you. I am also enjoying the same guilty pleasures while my wife is away…along with frozen egg rolls…its really a great combination!!

My guilty pleasure would have to be chick rock like paramore. It’s so not “manly” but dude, it is fun!
@harold, I love me some peanut m&m’s!
Starbucks french press with Sidamo coffee and oatmeal raisin cookies when it’s cold and raining outside – wow, how’s that for specific?
.-= amycolon´s last blog ..My Home School Top 10 =-.
Cookies, cakes and pies oh my!
.-= Robin´s last blog ..Lady and George =-.
that is disgusting. i hope you clean that mess before your wife returns from her “much deserved” trip.
I have a couple…
One, Mexican Food…LOVE it!
) It is even a bigger guilty pleasure when it comes from Nordstrom E-bar or from Utopia Coffee..yummmeee
Two, A Grande Iced Mocha- no Whip (at least I cut off the whip cream

That is just typical, isn’t it? The wife goes away on a girl’s retreat, probably for the first time in ages, and the boys turn the place upside down. She will not be happy about you showing the interior of that oven on the net. That I can guarantee. On the other hand, Brandi comes across as a true Saint so she will probably won’t even notice.
The only time I ever went on a girls church retreat, I came back to a house which looked and smelled like it had been hit by a bulldozer. My husband invited all his mates and my lovely pot plants were destroyed, serviettes burnt and there were many sore heads for days to come.
My advice to Brandi: if you want a real retreat, send the hubby away and invite the girls in. At least that way you will know that when the fun is over, your house and sanity will remain intact.
My guilty pleasure: a decent cup of freshly ground coffee with a piece of chocolate cake. Yummy!
.-= ransom33´s last blog ..Ungrateful hearts will never know what “Abundant” life really is =-.
Defintely ice cream!
Anything chocolate and I mean anything…
About your pizza. You are in a dilemma now! If you clean it up, Brandi will think you don’t need her. If you don’t clean it up, she will be mad and made more work for her. Your goose is cooked no matter what! Here’s a possible compromise for you. Clean up most of it. Leave just a bit behind. That way she will roll her eyes and think, “idiot” but will still feel needed. How’s that for compromise?
By the way, you are supposed to watch the pizza and pop the air bubbles. Not to mention put it on a cookie sheet or something…
Kels
Ice cream without a doubt. Makes no matter when it is…morning, noon or night. Winter or summer. I will take it any day over cake, cookies, chips, popcorn and a thousand other things (especially now that I am having to wear braces). Bring me ice cream…win my heart. Second place: pizza.

Peanut Butter cookies! I don’t even like to share them with anyone! So, I very rarely make them.
.-= Pokinatcha´s last blog ..21st Anniversary! =-.
Mine isn’t food related. My guilty pleasure? Burt’s Bees Hand Sanitizer Spray. Yup, I spend $4.99 for a small bottle of spray hand sanitizer. Love me some Burt’s Bees!
.-= Abby´s last blog ..Stop Human Trafficking Month: September =-.
Tell me you cleaned the oven!!!! There is nothing worse than pizza burnt to the bottom of the oven!!!!
Oh and mine is peanut m&m’s!
@Makila, Ok, I”m going to be honest here. I have not actually cleaned the oven yet. However, I cooked another pizza last night and even though it’s dirty it works totally fine.
laughing at you would be one of them.
Vampire novels, celebrity gossip, and CW television shows would be a few others. Actually I think I have too many guilty pleasures!
Chinese Food.
P.S. Sam’s (Their Brand) has the best pizza.

what in the world did you do? hah! that’s hilarious.
String cheese. Yumm.
Oh how that oven must have smoked last night! I sure hope it has a self-cleaning feature, or you may be toast.
.-= Candy´s last blog ..Where Were You 9/11/01? =-.
Oh pizza for sure. In fact, pizza is my homeboy and has taught our family many a cross-cultural lesson on acceptance and loving one another despite our weird taste in toppings! http://thegypsymama.com/2009/08/03/pizza-is-my-homeboy/
An old fashioned cherry soda with 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream!
Oh my goodness, Pete. Lucky Brandi isn’t there to see the mess. I am leaving tomorrow for a 3-day Women’s Retreat, and feeling a bit nervous leaving Hubby in charge. Now, after seeing your pizza, I think I am scared to see what I come home to on Sunday.
Guilty Pleasure: Anything chocolate!
Have a Super Fun Weekend with the Boys!

That pizza looks awesome….still not sure how you managed that, but I think it would be good to focus on how to prevent this from happening again.
I love pizza, I like to make it from scratch, so I can’t consider that my guilty pleasure. I would have to go with a big box of mozzarella sticks. Cook em up in the deep fryer for delicious fried goodness.
.-= ChrisW (Churchpunk)´s last blog ..Sabbath =-.
Okay, how in the world did you cook in that oven again without starting a fire?
My guilty pleasure is an iced sugar cookie from the deli. Or a box of iced sugar cookies from the deli. Let me just say that sharing is a challenge. Godiva is good, too, @Sherri.
.-= Anita´s last blog ..Are You Expecting the Unexpected? =-.
I’m still trying to figure out how such a mess was made!!
@blakebergstrom is my guilty pleasure. Oh..and peanut butter milkshakes with chocolate and banana mixed in.
.-= Trevor DeVage´s last blog ..PERMISSION TO SPEAK FREELY =-.
I have a few guilty pleasures: starbucks caramel frappucino, which I get when going alone to the store late at night; sweet leaf tea; just about anything that I bake (banana bread, especially). Those are the top three, I could probably go on and on.
.-= Rachel´s last blog ..surgery update =-.
Seriously, it looks like a 5 yo tried to make pizza. I didn’t know it was possible to mess it up that bad!! Hilarious!
I hope you cleaned the oven for your poor wife.
Foodwise… Chinese food or various sweets depending on my mood (or hormones).
Everything else…
<__>
The Hills, ANTM & occasionally Gossip Girls
.-= V. Higgins´s last blog ..Learning to Trust in the ‘Drops’ =-.
Reading too many blogs in one sitting.
Caramel creamer with a little coffee in it. Also, Sonic vanilla diet coke.

You just HAD to have thawed that first, right? I can’t imagine how else that would happen…
Mine? Pizza for sure…but also an Indian buffet…guilty because of the gluttony that ensues there…waaay too much naan goes on my plate!
HAHAHAHAHA
Laughter – the best medicine!
Ah. That was good for the soul, Pete.
We are having frozen pizza tonight for dinner. Do you need me to create a “How To” video for you?
Seriously THIS was TOO funny. THIS beats Brewer on the urinal….

Oh and … my guilty pleasure…. M&M’s with Popcorn. YUM!
.-= Sarah Walston´s last blog ..A little of this, a little of that… =-.
Bratwurst! Cooked in a foil covered pan on the grill with sauerkraut, brown sugar and beer. Put it on a nice roll with some brown mustard and top it with the kraut!
Mmmmmm, I think I know what I’m making for dinner tonight!
Pete,
That picture made my day (and I love pizza rolls)

I LOVE pizza. Hubby and I went out for pizza on our first date, had our wedding rehearsal dinner at the same joint, and stopped there first thing after we left the hospital with TJ.
Now, my guilty pleasures:
Worry, pastries, and chocolate mint chip ice cream. Aaaahhhh… serenity now…

CHOCOLATE….CHOCOLATE….CHOCOLATE…
It’s even better if it’s CHOCOLATE Ice Cream…

@B_rewster, Oh that’s another one for me!
I am likewise hopeless when my wife is out of town. Holly and the girls spent a month back in Wisconsin this last summer and there were (ashamed) SEVERAL nights of pop tarts, frozen pizza or cheerios for dinner…
.-= Nate VZ´s last blog ..Let’s go #9!!!! =-.
Pete! That is pretty good! I don’t even have a clue how someone could do that! Are you telling the truth or did Brewer make the pizza and you don’t want others to know you put your baby in charge of dinner? My other question is did you clean it up?

Coffee and books. I confess, I have traveled with my coffee pot before. And books are a near addiction for me.

Two words for your continued marital bliss:
Shop
Vac
Use it quickly, and then use the self-clean feature before using it again.
I just don’t even understand how *that* happens. I shall share this picture with my hubby so that in the future if he complains about frozen pizza for dinner I will remind him it could be worse.
I have many guilty pleasures. But ice cream, peanut m&m’s and reese’s peanut butter cups…especially the egg, pumpkin and tree variety…top the list.

Funny blog post! It’s happened to me before too, so don’t feel bad. Pretty funny sight though.
To Rachel-Thanks for sharing your love for Sweet Leaf Tea on Pete’s blog! We’re happy to be your guilty pleasure, though w/pure organic cane sugar, along with water and tea, I’m not sure how guilty one must feel.
Feel free (any of your readers)and send me an email to: Consumers@sweetleaftea.com for some free bottle coupons!!
Thanks,

So Pastor Pete, ever heard of a pizza pan?
And please tell me you have cleaned this up by now?
My guilty pleasure is Key Lime Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory.

Superb read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing just a little research on that. And he really purchased me lunch simply because I found it for him smile So allow me rephrase that: Many thanks for lunch!
