Peppermint ice cream with hot fudge sauce in winter.
A Mexican restaurant lunch with queso dip in spring/summer.
An hour nap starting with a good book on Kindle any time.

Well my fast food of choice is a McDonald's Hamburger Happy Meal. I have it a couple times a year, so it really is a special treat.
My little treat every day is one piece of chocolate and about 2 ounces of diet coke because I know the diet coke is awful for me. The only other time I have it is with the Happy Meal and I put a lot of ice in that small cup.
Quilting related things are not a special treat for me. I enjoy quilting a lot when I feel like it, but the mojo comes and goes and since I quilt for my own pleasure I roll with it.
Mr. Stitchnripper would go out to eat a lot more if I were willing, but, it becomes not special if we do it all the time. Since I got the Instant Pots it is easier, cheaper and healthier to cook at home.

Special Little Treat - the "regular" little treat is having someone else put the leftover food away after a meal and someone else sweep the kitchen floor.
I love go out for fish fries on Fridays -
Not having to cook -
Someone sent a pack of Wonder Clips to me - totally unexpected and very appreciated - I had been looking and looking at where I should buy them - and then they "magically" appeared - thank you - - -Those things sure have a strong spring in them!
I like Dairy Queen sundaes - but I think they are expensive for what one gets - I like my "own" blend of marshmallow, caramel, and hot fudge toppings on the ice cream. Haven't had one in years.

my favorite food treats are all things I make. Going to any food place for a "treat" is always a let down. Not found one that can compete with what I can whip up at home. Yesterday I made mini loaves of banana bread with pecans and chocolate chips.
Normally, a real treat for me is to give myself permission to do nothing but relax with a good book for several hours.
