The Cheat Meal Mentality
There’s something freeing about not worrying whether something is “healthy” — and instead asking, “Does it taste amazing?” This meal isn’t just about calories; it’s about comfort, joy, and giving yourself permission to indulge once in a while.
And let’s be honest — food this good feeds the soul.
Go Ahead, Treat Yourself
So if you’ve had a long day, a tough week, or just need a little pick-me-up in the form of gooey, cheesy, flavor-packed goodness… this is your sign. Make the cheat meal. Eat it hot. Eat it happy. No regrets.
This is my go-to cheat meal — and now, hopefully, yours too.
