Hungry Girl Softies: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip

Hungry Girl has these amazing little, well not so little, they are quite huge, amazingly awesome gems called Softies. How cute is that name by the way?!! Love it. Saying I'm eating a softie, just sounds like your eating a cloud, but I suppose not everyone lives in a fluffy world like myself. So these Softies are a cross between a "big doughy, soft cookie and a muffin top" (exactly the term out of her 200 under 200 dessert book). And she couldn't be more right about that description, they are delicious and even easier to make also. She has a whole chapter dedicated in her new book, do yourself a favor, go out and get this book, right now! Just Desserts  If you have a sweet tooth, or enjoy baking, or just love trying new things, you will truly love this book.

Just like I love the mug cake chapter in this book, I'm loving the Softie chapter. I seriously want to make each and every one of them. Be prepared for more softie posts.



Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Softie
Serving Size: 1 softie
3pp or 131 calories...they are huge so you it is well worth it.

 Ingredients

1 cup canned pure pumpkin
1/4 cup of brown sugar (not packed)
2 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetner (granulated)
2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread, room temp
2 tbsp. fat-free liquid egg substitute
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of old fashioned oats
3 tbsp. mini semi sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat over to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

In a med. bowl, combine pumpkin, brown sugar, Splenda, butter, egg sub., and vanilla extract. Mix all together.

Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir until smooth.

Stir in oats and chocolate chips. Place batter onto the sheet in 8 evenly spaced mounds. Use the back of a spoon to spread and flatten into 3 inch circles.

I like mine a little bit fatter, so I didn't press mine down to much and flaten. LOOK AT HOW BIG THOSE ARE!! I was in shock, I mean, come on, BEAUTIFUL!!

Bake until toothpick comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Mine were exactly perfect after 20 minutes. Enjoy. Makes 8 servings.

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

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
