Kelly Renee Gissendaner’s final meal will consist of two cheeseburgers, two large orders of french fries, lemonade, cherry vanilla ice cream, popcorn, cornbread and a salad made of boiled eggs, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, carrots, cheese and buttermilk dressing, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections.

In the past, authorities have been angered when inmates requested a large last meal and didn’t eat it.

In 2011, Texas stopped the last-meal tradition after Lawrence Russell Brewer asked for a large final meal including two chicken-fried steaks, triple bacon cheeseburger and meat-lover’s pizza, and refused to eat it.

Gissendaner was sentenced to death in 1998 for the murder of her husband. She is scheduled to be put to death by lethal injection on Feb. 25.
