VitaTop Carrot Cake Muffin with Cream Cheese Frosting

I love carrot cake and I love Vitalicoius Vitatops. If you haven't tried these amazing gems, you are missing out. Basically what they are is the tops of cut off a muffin, THE BEST PART OF A MUFFIN, who doesn't love the top. They come frozen and you can thaw them, microwave or heat up in a toaster or toaster oven. 4 usually come in a pack when you get them in stores and you can order them online at www.vitalicious.com. I was introduced to them by Hungry Girl when I started WW and have been hooked ever since, in one of her cookbooks, one of  the early editions, she has a whole chapter on Vitatops and the many ways you can make them amazing.

They are only 100 calories and range from 2-3 points. They are only 100 calories and a fantastic way to get in your fiber intake. I am a huge fan, I haven't tried one I haven't liked. They are portable, convenient and quick, perfect for on the go breakfast, snack and even dessert. The banana chocolate chip, chocolate and carrot cake are my favorite thus far. I have been able to find them at most health food stores, Target, Walmart and Publix. Target sometimes tend to carry more than others and will have the special flavors too, like pumpkin spice and carrot cake. Vitalicious also makes a variety of other cool products, I have tried a ton of their products and have never been disappointed. I give their brand and products 2 thumbs up.

Today I tried the Carrot Cake Vitatop. Like I mentioned they are hard to find at times, so when I was at Target the other day, saw them, and in the cart they went. This morning I took my Carrot Cake Vitatop, let it thaw for a bit, then put it in my toaster oven to heat it up for about a minute or two. I took it out and smeared 1/2 tablespoon of Fat Free Cream Cheese on top of the muffin and sprinkled a little bit of cinnamon as a garnish.



It came out to be 3pp. The fat free cream cheese was 0pp and the Vitatop was 3.

It was delicious, who doesn't like a carrot cake muffin with cream cheese frosting, guilt free!! Total yummy in my tummy!!

Low Point Apple Crisp

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

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
