Hungry Girl Chunky Monkey Cake Mug

I have a wicked sweet tooth!!! It is bad at times, but from Weight Watchers and the help of Hungry Girl, I have learned to tame my sweet tooth, but get pure satisfaction at the same time. Hungry Girl, Lisa Lillen came out with a new cookbook this year called 200 Under 200: Just Desserts. The book is dedicated to nothing but desserts, all that are under 200 calories too, SCORE!!! I have to admit I have had this book for a couple of months and this was only the second recipe I have made out of the book, but the book is so amazing and I have put this on my list to make sure I make more desserts from it.

I had some extra points the other night, so I cracked the spine on my cookbook and flipped through. It was late so I wanted to make something quick. The first chapter is dedicated to nothing but cake mugs. If your not sure what a cake mug is, well, its the most amazing invention ever!!!! You take some tablespoons of dry cake mix, egg beaters, some water, other ingredients, microwave and you have your own personal size cake!! This chapter is genius and luckily I had all the items in my kitchen. I choose the Chunky Monkey, because I love anything that involves bananas.



Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons moist style devil's food cake
1 tablespoon fat free liquid egg substitute (Egg Beaters)
1 tablespoon fat free cream
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of chopped banana
2 tablespoon Fat Free Reddi whip
1 teaspoon chopped walnuts

Directions
In a microwave-safe mug, big coffee mug, or bowl, spray with non-stick spray (PAM), combine the liquid egg, sour cream and baking powder, mix. Add 2 tablespoons of water and mix until uniform. Stir in 2 tablespoon of banana.

Microwave for 1 min and 45 secs, or until set.

Run a knife along the edges to separate the cake. Place mug over a plate and flip so the plate is right side up. You want the mug to sit on the plate, you might have to run the knife over the edge again.

Let the cake cook completely, at least 15 minutes.

Top the cake with the remaining 2 tablespoons banana. Top with Reddi-whip and sprinkle with walnuts.

I also drizzled some Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup and used the rest of the banana and cut up pieces.





This was delicious!!!! The cake was moist, the banana was perfect. It tasted way more points than it was,

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now.

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look ...

Chobani Flip: Key Lime Crumble

Image
First off I love yogurt!! I love low fat yogurt, flavored, Greek, plain, all kinds!! And I am always out looking for what is new and exciting in the yogurt world, I know I lead an exciting life!! So when these Chobani Flips came out, I was all about it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them here in Florida right away, when I went home in March to New York, I was able to find them and I fell in love. There are probably at least 10 different kinds of flips, vanilla with oats, pineapple with coconut and walnuts, blueberries with chia seeds and walnuts, coconut with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, peach with dark chocolate chips and pistachios, and my favorite key lime with white chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. The flip part of the yogurt is the cup is split up into to two sections. One section holds the Key Lime Low Fat Greek Yogurt and the other section holds the White Chocolate Pieces with Graham Cracker Pieces. You flip the fun side into the Key Lime yogurt and...
