Thought I'd get us started with great easy and healthy recipes!
Pumpkin Spice Mini-Muffins
One box of Spice Cake Mix
One can of Packed Pumpkin (not the pie filling)
Blend well. (DO NOT ADD ANYTHING ELSE!)
Place in mini-muffins or regular muffins. Bake according to time and temperature of cake box.
Mini-muffins are 2 points each. WAY GOOD!!!

Hey Coutney, these sound great to curb the "sweet" attack. Are they 2 points for regular or mini? I am not sure I have mini muffin pans.....which tells you how long since I made muffins!!
Thanks...

Hmm Courtney - I think we'll have to see these assumed to be awesome muffins to believe in them. Perhaps we need to even taste them to truly believe they are real. Thank goodness I believe in other things I can't see!

________________________________
Bob Greene (Oprah's diet guru) advice on six foods to avoid to make a difference:
Soda is empty calories and sugar, so you have to cut it out. Instead, drink water, low-fat or fat-free milk, or tea. Fruit juices are good too, but remember, fruit juice, not fruit drink. Diet Soda is ok until you get closer to your goal, the you may need to eliminate it.
Transfats. They clog your arteries, they're high in calories, and they may even make your body store fat in the abdominal area. Aside from being unsightly, it's also bad for your health. You'll find these in cookies and baked goods which might be made with margarine.
Fried foods. I mean, even if you use a good fat oil like olive oil to fry foods, anything fried has a lot of calories. Try things that are oven baked instead of fries. There are calories either way, but oven baked has fewer.
White bread. You don't have to get rid of carbs entirely, but white bread is made from refined grains, which are stripped of their most nutritional parts, so you're eating empty calories. Instead, we want you eating bread made form 100 percent whole wheat or whole grains.
High-fat milk and yogurt. Use 1 percent or non-fat dairy in their place, which are often just as good, only with lower cholesterol, fat, and calories.
You write very well.
