easiest vegan cupcakes, ever
I've made several recipes from my Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World cookbook, but by far the easiest (and one of the tastiest) has been Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Cinnamon Icing. They are so freaking good!

lemony fish packets that you unwrap like a present - yay!
Ok, as a counterpoint to all the meat in that last entry, here's a very light recipe I made for Steven, Jacob, and Elise a few weeks ago; it's from Ellie Krieger's The Food You Crave and it's basically individual fish packets. Here's the ingredients:

meeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaat
I've got about twenty gazillion new food entries to write, so let's get down to it with the tastiest food of all: steak. I'd never really thought about cooking steak for myself, since I don't have a grill, but my dad told me how to perfectly broil it: first, you marinate it in Italian salad dressing for about 30 minutes on the counter (so it comes ( Read more... ) -
virtual back pat
Permit me, dear readers, to give myself a little pat on the back; I stepped on the Wii Fit today and did the Body Test only to discover that, in total, I've lost 10 pounds since I returned from England. I am so freaking excited! I also feel so much better, and I've really noticed a difference when walking up hills/stairs. My clothes are also ( Read more... ) -
peanut butter of the future
Yesterday I made a delicious lemon pie to take to Jacob and Elise's; it turned out so well that we ended up cleaning the pie plate! It was super easy, as well; you can find the recipe here: www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/index.aspx?recipeid=96091. I also took a picture of it as it came out of the oven:

ridiculously good turkey burgers
A few weeks ago, my friend Gabe made me some delicious turkey burgers that are of his own creation. They are so much better than any other turkey burger recipe I've ever had!
Here are the basic ingredients:
1 package ground turkey (I do the one that's 93/7 instead of the 99% fat free because it's like half as expensive!)
1 egg
8 ounces white mushrooms ( Read more... ) -
sweet potato goodness
So, the other night I had a lovely girls' night with my friends Bridget and Kat, and among many other tasty things, Bridget made some sweet potato enchiladas, which were amazing! So even though I just ate them Wednesday night, I wanted to try them for myself immediately! Bridget sent me the link to the original recipe (glutenfreegoddess.blogspot. ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday I really wanted some pizza, but I knew I'd be going over to my friend Matt's and that I'd have a few beers, so I didn't want to spend too many points on dinner. I was trolling the Hy-Vee healthy food section and I stumbled upon a pizza made by the A.C. LaRocca company (www.aclarocco.com/parents.htm) that looked pretty tasty. I got the ( Read more... ) -

FYI: rainbow-colored ice cream cones are 0 points apiece (about 20 calories). This made my day! It makes eating my meager portion of ice cream so much more festive! I had 1/2 cup Blue Bunny No Sugar Added Cherry Vanilla ice cream and one pink cone, and it was just 2 points! That's a lot of love ( Read more... )
