I can't believe I've turned into a Suzie Homemaker sort myself. My mom would not be able to believe her eyes if she saw me now!

If you make those pumpkin suggestions, some modifications you can make: add more splenda if you like sweet (I used only 2 packets & it wasn't sweet) and they would probably taste extra good with dried cranberries, diced berries/slivered nuts thrown in too.

OK I made them......they stuck to the pan & ended up a lil soggy....could've used some more Splenda & I thought I added extra.....But they have a pretty good flavor....

My batch made 14 mini muffins....didn't bother with the choc. chips either....

Did you use Pam to spray the muffin tray first? Because mine popped right out...and adding the choc chips or fruit may help with giving it more sweetness.

Yep I sprayed the pan....the lil buggers still wouldn't come out....LOL

I got them out tho & stuck them back in the toaster oven upside down right on the rack to try & bake them up a bit more.....

Hmmmm - maybe I can put icing on them??

That really IS ! Haha.

Roons, I can't believe that you didn't know how to cook before! Amazing! I'm sort of like you but I think my transformation has taken longer in the kitchen. I did know how to cook a few things... but I think I learned a TON of skill tips and creativity tips from 1) WWer recipes I've been reading about forever and 2) countless hours of watching FoodNetwork I'm such a foodie and now the creative side of it just comes to me when I'm in my mode.

Hope you're havin' a good day! I wish I could eat pumpkin muffins!!! Someday... someday...

Why can't you eat pumpkin muffins, T? They're just oats, protein powder, egg whites & pure pumpkin (100% pumpkin) out of a can. That's the original recipe anyway, until Jens started adding choc chips and icing to it

LOL I'd have to check with the "king" to see I can do that. Maybe if I bat my lashes and try to look pretty, it'll work.

Honestly, I could swing that for sure, I bed. I have a really super recipe too for a pumpkin pie (crustless) made with canned pumpkin and fat free evaporated skim milk and ff egg substitute. It's GREAT! I often wonder if I'd be allowed that, but I think the ESM would have too much sugar than I'm allowed.

Can you tell it's TOM for me?! Sweets on the brain!

Lol @ the "king"....just remember that makes you the queen and the queen always gets what she wants!

Pumpkin pie, you say? Please do post up the recipe. That must be a substitute for the ESM (soy milk, almond milk, vanilla rtd muscle milk?)....I'm hopeful!

Have a great night, T!

After 15 months, today is my last day at my current client site. I can’t say I’m too sad because the work has just become mundane, but I will miss my daily grilled chicken and veggies from the cafeteria. The grill guy was probably my best friend through this entire project.

I also have to get adjusted to a new schedule depending on where I get placed next and figure out what change that means to my workouts and meals. As of now, I meet with new potential clients next Thursday and until then, I get to work at home in the interim, which is nice.
