### 🍟 **Garlic-Parmesan Fries**
No cheat meal is complete without a side, and I’m all about **crispy fries tossed in garlic butter and parmesan**. You can go frozen or fresh-cut—just make sure to:
* Toss hot fries in melted butter, minced garlic, grated parmesan, and a sprinkle of parsley.
* Serve with ranch or chipotle mayo for dipping.

### 🥤 **Finish It Off: The Shake**
Thick, creamy, ice-cold vanilla shake. That’s the finishing move. Blend together:
* 2 scoops vanilla ice cream
* 1/2 cup whole milk
* A splash of vanilla extract
* Top with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or even crushed cookies if you’re going full cheat-mode.

### 💬 **Why I Love This Meal**
It’s not about being “bad” or “breaking the rules.” Cheat meals like this are about joy. They’re about treating yourself to something nostalgic, over-the-top, and made with love.
Plus, it reminds me that balance isn’t just about kale smoothies and protein bowls—it’s also about burgers that drip down your hands and fries you can’t stop eating.
