3 New Diet Friendly Recipes
Whew what a week. Lots of kids stuff, lots of craft stuff, lots of work stuff. In between I found time to make these yummy recipes that were Weight Watchers Plus Friendly.
Stop number 2 this recipe tour is Taco Casserole. I think I came across this recipe on Pinterest.com. This is a 7 points plus option. I took this to Wednesday night church potluck supper. I always plan on taking a helping home for lunch the next day, but my plan was foiled. There wasn’t a scoop to be had.
Last stop is Potato Broccoli Soup. This is a 7 point soup. I made a double helping thinking I might put it in the freezer for another day. Instead I just we ended up eating both portions. Not at one meal but for the next 3 days of lunches. I could make this every week. Skinny Tastes Web Site always has fantastic recipes and this was no exception.
Low Fat Soda Cupcakes
I do not have the mindset to make New Year’s resoltions. I know there is no possible way that I would stick to any of them. I have started to eat better and get on the treadmill a little more often but that has to do more with vanity. Lots of big family events coming up that will require me to be in photos. I usually like to stay behind the camera. Well that is not an option so turning the big 4-0 in December and the thought of being in family pics in May has given me a little more drive to eat better and work out a little harder. While perusing Pinterest I came across these soda cupcakes.

There are promoted to be 2 pts on the Weight Watchers Plus program. Knowing a little about the program I know that 2 pts is pretty darn good. So if it is good enough for Weight Watchers they are probably good enough for me.
Soda Cupcakes 2 pts
I used a super moist Pilsbury boxed cake and a 12 oz bottle of Dr. Pepper. The batter was a little darker but tasted good. I baked them for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. The original recipe mentioned you could get only 17 but I was able to get a full 24 cupcakes.

My 11 year old said they were good. My 14 year old said they tasted like Dr. Pepper. No butter, no oil, no egg added to you are saving yourself a ton of calories as well as a ton of fat. I think you can use just about any soda for this. I don’t know if you can or can’t use diet soda. I haven’t tried it yet but maybe that will be my weekend activity.
