Snack Attack: Make Your Own Twix
After posting about Twix's 100-Calorie Bars, user chrissy00 shared a great little snack idea that you can make on your own.
"Why not make your own healthy twix bar? I take 2 graham crackers (whole wheat), layer with sugar-free, low-carb (walden farms makes a great one) caramel, and sugar-free chocolate that is melted.
s'more cupcakes, please!
Inspired by YumSugar’s “52 Weeks of Baking” and the success of last week’s cupcakes, I have decided to take on my own weekly baking challenge. Of course, I waited until the last day of week two to make this decision, the same day Boston was swept by a massive snowstorm. Ok, I admit, the weather was not that bad, but it was enough to discourage me from trekking across slippery, slushy sidewalks to the grocery.

Yummy little cheesecake-like snacks
I was reading the recipe for "faux fruit tarts", and I remembered this one I used to make a few years ago. I haven't made it in a while b/c if I keep graham crackers in the house I will eat the whole box!! :P Not really, but these are tasty and you can make 'em as healthy as you want.Chocolate Tofu Pie
Chocolate Pie! Would you like some? No!Light Pumpkin Cheesecake
In response to Mme. hart's request for a healthier pumpkin cheesecake recipe, I spent the weekend, calculator in hand, working on lightening up my recipe. I ended up with one that was great tasting and had a real cheesecake texture by using 1/2 light cream cheese and 1/2 yogurt cheese.
Thinking outside the lunch "box"!
I don't know about anyone else out there, but working full time can take a toll on your lunch creativity. When it comes to getting up early enough to make a decent packed lunch, vs. sleeping in, i opt for more sleep.
