CHEAT MEALS THAT ARE

"This is real, artisanal ice cream
from Sweet Jesus, located at 416
Bloor St. W, Toronto. My fave
is Krusty The Cone, vanilla soft
serve, cotton candy, cotton can-
dy sauce and rainbow sprinkles.
Why settle for a healthy imitation
of ice cream. If I'm going to have
ice cream, I want the real deal
with all the trimmings. I don't
have a specific timeline for when
I have it — I may have it once a
week or every other month."

IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE
HEALTH AND FITNESS INDUS-
TRY TO STICK TO A FAIRLY
CONSISTENT DIET — one that's
aimed at workout performance
and recovery or maintaining a
certain body composition, etc.
— and then every so often, take a
break from their food routine to
have a meal that, if they had it all
the time, wouldn't help them meet
their goals. We asked some of our
readers to share some of their sin-
ful indulgences.
SLICE OF HEAVEN
BREAK-FEST FOR LOVE
"Every Sunday my girlfriend
and I do a carb reload. Our most
recent favorite has been the
pizza at Terroni, located at 720
Queen St W, Toronto . We get a
bottle of wine and an embarrass-
ing amount of thin-crust pizza.
If we’re still feeling hungry we’ll
walk down to Luscious Desserts
and get some birthday cake balls
and cookies. It’s not pretty."

"Pancakes are my absolute
favorite go-to 'cheat meal.' There
is truly something whimsical and
nostalgic about sleeping in on a
Sunday and making pancakes. I
use to save them for special oc-
casions or holidays until I discov-
ered Old School, located at 800
Dundas Street West Toronto. This
diner on Dundas West offers an
all-day menu featuring buttermilk
flapjacks paired with candied ba-
con, as well as stacks of flapjacks
paired with cinnamon crunch
bananas, peanut butter sauce and
whipped vanilla cream.

FANCY PASTA DISHES
This delicious pasta joint excels in
the form of Spicy Italian Sausage
Penne and Classic Spaghetti and
Meatballs. Daddyo's, located at
673 Spadina Ave, Toronto, is a
worthy candidate for any carb-
lover's cheat meal. The Spa-
ghetti Vongole is composed of
spaghetti with clams, black garlic
and ground Controne pepper and
ripe cherry plum toma-
toes. It's the kind of food
that makes you really
gain a new appreciation
for your pasta days.

SOUTHERN COMFORT
BBQ FARE
BBQ food is all about sauces
and meats, making it a popu-
lar choice for cheat meals. The
Pulled Pork and Mac 'N' Cheese
at Smoque N' Bones, located
at 869 Queen St W, Toronto, is
truly something else: a cheesy
bed of mac'n'cheese topped with
layers of juicy pulled pork. Such
naughty deliciousness!
