The other night I made Chicken Spinach burgers. I used a super extra lean ground chicken so it was really healthy! And since I'm trying to limit the amount of bread carbs, I didn't actually make it into a burger. I just topped it with some sliced tomato and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
I roasted butternut squash drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with a no-salt seasoning (also trying to cut down my sodium, which has made a HUGE difference for me!).
And of course in Misty fashion I had a giant Claussen pickle on the side, a cup of salsa for dippie, and a diet coke and I was a super-happy girl!
So we'll call that a good day...got some good workouts in and a nice healthy dinner....
THEN THERE WAS YESTERDAY...
I'm sitting at my desk, minding my own business, and what thought came into my head?? CUPCAKES!
I have no idea why! Cupcakes actually don't even usually tempt me that much, but I had an idea in my head and I couldn't focus on anything else. I made myself finish working on my Fall paperwork for Tumbling Stars and then cut out early...
I ran to WalMart and got my supplies and I was ready! I was kind of making the recipe up as I went along (a mix of about 5 recipes I'd seen), so I was just praying they'd turn out ok. I was pretty happy with the results!
The ones with chips on top are what I named Cupookies!! They are a chocolate and caramel flavored, but have a surprise ball of cookie dough baked right in the middle! :) YUMMY!! The others that have crushed candy bar on top are Snickers Cupcakes and have a miniature snickers bar in the middle!
So about 3 hours worth of work all so I could satisfy my craving for ONE cupcake...but it was TOTALLY WORTH IT! I'm finding that I really love cooking or baking, especially when I have someone or a group of people in mind that I think are going to enjoy it!
