Pumpkin muffins!

I've been craving some baked goods for awhile now... especially since I saw the lady who works at the Mexican bakery at the gym tonight lol... I googled for any WW muffin recipes and found this one for pumpkin muffins. Only 3 PPts each!

1 Box Spice Cake Mix
1 15oz Can Pumpkin
1 cup of water

Mix, Bake for 20-25 mins at 350 degrees. Makes 24 muffins.


So cheap and easy!

(note, this is not "my" recipe. found several versions online)
These muffins may be dangerous since I wanted to eat half of them! But I plan on having one or two (or 15) for breakfast with some fruit tomorrow.  Think these muffins will be an easy solution for breakfast on busy/lazy mornings.

A patient also told me about something called 123 cake today. She said you get a box of angel food cake and a box of any other cake flavor you like and mix them together and store them.  When you're in the mood for cake you take 3 Tbsp of mix, 2 Tbsp of water and mix in a cup and microwave for 1 min and viola! Cake! Reminds me of those Mini Delight cakes.  Think I may try this once I figure the points out on it, although I can't see the points being very high. 

Also hit the gym tonight and took a class called Body Design which mixes cardio with some weights. My thighs always feel the burn for a few DAYS after this class but it felt good!

Happy Thursday! <3

Hey how many WW points for that arm?!

450 degree oven
Lightly toast right arm
Serve immediately with a side of #@*%$!

Anyone see where this is going??? Bleh.

Then about 15 mins later my 3 year SCRATCHED her leg and upon seeing the blood started bawling hysterically that she couldn't walk anymore and would have to throw her leg in the TRASH and would never play again! Oh dear.

Drama drama drama. Can't wait to see what happens when little miss hits high school.

Anyways, today was good. Worked out at the Y, did a great class called Body Blitz and currently I cannot walk down or up any stairs without looking drunk.  Must mean it was a great work out. 

Made Salsa Chicken for dinner. Super easy recipe

350 degrees
Sprinkle taco seasoning on chicken
Spoon salsa on chicken and bake til done!

When my friend Allie told me about this recipe I thought it sounded gross but when baking the salsa turns savory and its a great simple dish. 

On the look out for another simple NEW WW recipe to try before the week is out!

Night!

Addicted

I once tried to make baked fries myself.  How hard could it be? Cut up potatoes, add salt and bake!  Well they were dry and disgusting. 

I saw a WW article on their site about snacking and they listed this simple reciple for fries

450 degree oven
Cut potato into fries
Spritz with cooking spray
Salt
20 mins


These are the best fries on the freaking planet.  Maybe everyone's fries come out this good and I was just too stupid to think of spraying them the first time but I've had a serving (5pt!) each day since I've read the article.  I use cajun seasoning on my fries (Like Five Guys!) and I am in love!  I feel like I'm not on WW when eating these.  They are better than McD and BK in my opinion.  I hope weight loss doesn't slow by eating so many potatoes in a week but as long as I am within points I hope that doesn't cause any problems.  Great thing is that a 10lb bag of potatoes at Dillons cost me $2.48.  I'm pretty sure thats the price of an order of fries at Five Guys. Makes them taste even better.
