Where the heck have you been????!!!!

Here I am blogging away and you readers just don't show up for months?! What the heck?
Anyway, I have been very busy with work etc... and haven't been blogging I know. I am back on track now however and am so excited about my new cookbook I bought.
"Hungry Girl's 200 recipes under 200 calories" perfect for making snacks or getting to my 1500 calories a day on days where I just don't feel like having anything too heavy.
I just made 3 of the recipes today and they were all tasty. My favorite as far as ease and taste was the "Strawberry Shortcake Bites." I don't know why they are called bites when they are bigger than the "Strawberry Shortycakes" which I also made.
(Can you tell strawberries were on sale at Meijer?)
I am going to try to make the froze "Shortcake Bites" as a banana creme pie type thing. This could be really good, although it will have more calories as the sugar free strawberry preserves I used for the original recipe are only 10 calories per tablespoon and a whole banana is about 110. But it should still be very yummy, I might also try making them smaller so that it isn't as bad. We shall see.
I look forward to making the "guilt free" bloomin' onion recipe that she has in there.
Sunday night for dinner I am going to make that, and the "buffalo" chicken tenders (made with original Fiber One (tm) cereal crushed up as the breadcrumbs.... I love this cookbook.
Anyone who shows me how to make guilt free cupcakes, and better for you appetizers is wonderful in my book.
Well that's it for now. I have gained back a lot of the weight I had lost but we will see how Saturday goes. I still have two days to stay on the straight and narrow. I can do this, I just need to start doing my exercises regularly now.

  1. Hooray for you! I'm so proud of you getting back on track! I did good for a week and then got my monthly want to eat everything in sight attack... I used to get hungrygirl's daily emails but unsubscribed when we got rid of internet before we moved. You're gonna have to email me some of these recipes! Those strawberry things sound yummy!
