Today, in USA is Eat what you want day. This day was created by Thomas and Ruth Roy from wellcat.com to help people frustrated by diets. Most nutritionist agree that a break now and then can be good for the people dieting.
To celebrate this day don’t start eating all the junk food in the world, especially if you are on a diet. It will be difficult the next day. Pick 5 things you really love and have them during the day alongside with your normal meals. Here is my list of guilty pleasures all sugary:
- Chocolate Pavlova – Chocolate is always my number one choice.
- Cake with pears – Find some juice pears and have a great cake for a day.
- Papanasi – Our Romanian dumplings with cheese and jam are a must.
- Pears baked in pastry – You can use also apples. It is a celebration on a plate.
- Oven baked French toast – You can end the day with this dessert.
As you can see, all I will eat this day would be desserts. What is your list? What are your guilty pleasures?

Good old fashioned English Trifle!
I wonder if the USA could also have a No Food Day, to honour all those homeless folk or refugees who don’t have enough to eat?? In fact, the whole Western world should do it really… just a thought
Great article
Thank you
Just came back from a guilty pleasure trip to Belgarde, eating lots of meat and sausages 🙂
Nice!
Amazing desserts, my happy pixel! Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
You are welcome
😉
There is an Eat what you want day?! Why I love the sound of that. I would tuck into all of your gorgeous list and more 🙂
Today you can
🙂
As well, all delicious!
Thank you
Wow, those all look delicious. I don’t think I could top those selections!
Thank you
Amazing list. I’d like to eat profiteroles!
Yummy!
It all looks delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you
I did not know this day existed but it sounds very exciting! Also the pears baked in pastry look delicious!
Thank you
What a wonderful post….keep it up…..do take a look at my blog as well
Thank you. I will.
I never understood the sense of this kind of programmed days: this “eat what you want day” is my day 365 days in a year 😀
And I also believe that only a small percentage of all the people on diets have really problems with some food and really need to follow those diets. The remaining percentage I believe is just fashion and marketing/media power, or simply boredom.
Of course it’s just a personal opinion.
Ohhh this all look so good. I’ve been naughty today but whatever hahah check out my blog too 🙂 festivedaria.com
I know your blog
Every day is “eat what I want” day, but with portion control because I want to maximize my health: I know if I eat 5 pieces of baklava, I won’t have room for a salad. The salad will make me stronger. Meh- so will baklava, but you get my gist. I crave and eat it all, but carefully: hot pickled peppers, chocolate, cheese, nuts, balsamic covered salads, Wendy’s baconator fries.
I guess I could eat some straight up candy and Doritos today, both things I mostly keep away from but do like. 🙂
Yes, that’s the point.
If a person eats everyday normally, with a good balance, with a varied diet, with no excess, that person will enjoy every day and will never feel the need to eat 5 desserts in a day.
Nice!
I’m with you, everything I’d eat would be sugary! The chocolate pavlova looks like the perfect cheat day food ❤
Thank you
I would love to taste the 2,3 and 4 right now! They look so yummy 🙂
Thank you
Those pears in pastry – like honeybee hives! Must learn to make those (you need at least one signature dessert).
But for today, potato chips with dip!
Perhaps you’ll give us a monthly “Eating Without Limits” post? 🙂 (Weekly would be too hazardous.)
I will think about it. It is a good idea. Thank you
My problem would be, if I made each of those for eat what you want day today, that means tomorrow and the next few days would also become eat what you want days as I finish up the leftovers!
Pizza is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine… Although with so many fresh spring salads lately, there’s no need for guilt I guess!
I love pizza.
All of these are on my list now! Those pears baked in pastry are so beautiful!
Thank you
Great list of treats. I’ve not seen papanasi made like that before. Cream puffs, crepes and flan or panna cotta are on my list.
Nice!
Yum! And those pear desserts… baked in a cake and then baked in pastry?! Do you have those recipes posted somewhere? And what about that French toast? Oh my!
Right this minute I’m eating pecan pie! But if I’d known this earlier I would have planned and had some kettle cooked potato chips… salty crunch is my weakness… Oh, wait. I had potato chips earlier today. Guess I celebrated after all!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Click on the name of the recipe and you will find the recipes. Enjoy!
This is awesome! I’m more of a savory eater….something cheesy and filling like loaded cheese fries and then filet minion anyone?
Nice!
Mmm! All the goodies with pear! The papanasi sounds amazing, too!
Thank you
I had no idea there was a real “eat what you want day”! My guilty pleasure…a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge topping topped with whip cream….. mmmm!
Yummy!

I’m with you, I would indulge in anything chocolate. Chocolate is my happy place 😉 -Kat
Nice!
Chocolate fudge cake! I rarely eat cake anymore, but still enjoy a slice occasionally 🙂
Yummy!
Oh my gosh. I LOVE pears. I must try this.
Enjoy!
That cake with pears looks divine :). I also never knew this was a day perhaps cause I partake in it everyday 🙂

Sweets are always on the top of my list!
Nice article, and a good place to find healthy recipes! I’ll check back! Thanks for the like on Till Beef Do Us Part, too. I am new to blogging, so the like is appreciated! –Elissa
You are welcome
I have no guilt eating my favorites. Remorse maybe . . . But rarely ☺️
The pavlova would have to be my personal favourite. Great article!
Thank you
What a great day to celebrate! That Papanasi looks like it can be so delicious.
Thank you
Eat what you want day? Why don’t we have this here?? Love the idea.
Desserts really are the best thing in life 😁
Too bad I skipped this post on the same very day when it was published, I’ve would have eaten all! These desserts look absolutely gorgeous, yumm 🙂
Thank you
I’ll put it on my calendar–this has the potential to be the very best holiday of all! 🙂
I’m with you on choosing desserts! I’d choose cheesecake with strawberries, peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake, Oreo cheesecake – I guess I’d just need to spend this day at the Cheesecake Factory. I had no idea this day existed- can’t wait til it rolls around next year!!
All of your images look so great! My mouth is watering!
Thank you
Eat what you want day would gladly be my everyday.
