Confessions of a Spoon Licker!

I don't meant to, I have no intention of putting that spoon in my mouth until I realize I have it in there. Doesn't matter if its yogurt or chocolate pudding it's in my mouth.

See I know I don't mean to do until  it has happened because I have grossed myself out by putting the cat food spoon in there. (ooooooooh so gross ~ shutters at the memory). Fortunately I don't have a cat any more but I have a 3 1/2 yr old which is worse! ((sadly my  sister saw me put the spoon there and I am still teased until this day))

I have to open things for her my sweet 3 1/2 yr old, but that means more licking of stuff, whip cream, chocalte pudding, cookie dough, ice cream...

Are you a spoon licker too?  and What gets you every time?

Whenever I serve people ice cream, I also have to take a hgue spoonful for myself. Terrible habit, really.

Stands up, Solemily staes-former spoon licker, bowl licker and mixer licker here.

I grew up with a grandmother who would let us lick the utwensil clean as a treat.

What cured me?  Working in a restruant where food safety is number one.  It weas a hard habit to break, but at work it is highly frowned upon.

I'm not yet in recovery, I suffer daily with this...but in all truth...(oh no she's actually going to say it....)IT'S THE BEST PART OF COOKING!!!

Spoiled_candy is right, if I worked in the food industry, it's a habit I would have to curb. But life is just too short not to be licking the frosting, cookie dough, OMG sweetened condensed milk anyone????

(picchi leaving stage left mumbling about making cake for someone, somewhere, for no reason, other than using lots of spoons...)

Okay I have to admit and only because it is 4:40 am that I let my grandboogers lick the spoons and bowls and beaters.
What good is being a grandmother if you can't pass on some bad habits?

lol I was thinking earlier today how to count the calories from spoon licking. I also have a 3 1/2 yr old and a 2 1/2 yr old. They love PB and jelly sandwiches..I always catch myself licking the PB and jelly off the spoon  before I wash it. But thats me.. I love PB, but my thighs dont! lol

I have worked in the food industry too... but there's tons of spoons to toss into the sink and keep going.

whip cream is my ultimate weakness. I also do alot of baking, muffins and cookies. Cookie batter is well Good, its so good they even make ice cream in cookie dough flavor.

Recently I made home made jam... you can imagine the licking that went on!

If you like muffins try the "6 week bran muffin" recipe at allrecipes.com only 106 cals and if you use whole wheat flour... compared to my favorite donut Canadian franchise muffin of 350 calories. I grate carrots and toss pineapple peices into it. It's spoon licking too!

I cannot help licking the spoon when I am baking.  I try really hard not to, but I just can't help it.  I used to take tastes pretty liberally, but nowadays I restrict it to one small lick after all the mixing is done, just to make sure the flavor is right.  I think it's my right as the cook to taste a little bit. 

Does scraping out the pot of Kraft dinner after you've served your kids count as "spoon licking"???

I would imagine it does, to a much larger degree (unfortunately)  I have also learned that eating it fast helps ease the conscience too
