I got this recipe from 5dollardinners.com but I made a few changes to make it more healthy.
1 cup of flour (i use a flour i get at publix that's a mix of whole grain wheat and white)
3 heaping tbsp applesauce
1/3 cup of sugar
2 eggs (I used 1 egg and 3 tbsp egg whites to cut the fat content)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon (i used a little more in my apple cinnamon muffins)
1 cup of grated/mashed/chopped fruit (1 lg apple peeled, cored, grated equals one cup)
mix eggs, applesauce, fruit, and sugar
stir in dry ingredients
bake @ 350 (8-10 min for mini muffins or 15-18 min for full size muffins)

blueberry cake recipe...
This cake is sooooo good and I have made a few minor adjustments to make it even healthier but it def taste sinful...
It is good as a dessert with a blob of lite cool whip or for breakfast as a coffee cake!
1 cup fresh blueberrys
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cook oats
2 tst baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon ( i always add a little extra)
1 cup gran sugar OR splenda (I actually add a little less than a cup and havent noticed the diff)
2/3 cup of vanilla yogurt (I use fat free lite vanilla and it taste exactly the same and is a huge calorie and fat saver!!! I am tempted to try a diff flavor yogurt one day but for now its perfect!)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup milk ( I use skim)
2 lg eggs (I use 1/3 cup egg whites)
Cinnamon sugar/splenda for topping
mix blueberrys,flour, oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar in lg mix bowl. then in smaller bowl wisk yogurt, lemon juice, milk, egg. then gently blend all ingredients together. i reccomend doing the entire recipe by hand as the blueberrys will smush and it's not as pretty plus its super easy! put in a loaf pan sprayed with pam and sprinkle the top with cinnamon sugar then bake at 350 for 35-45 min!
the kids love helping with the recipe and ryan thinks its yummy! Picky Paige however says the blueberrys look "melted" and won't even try it!

so much fun...
The four of us had so much fun making homemade pudding pops today! I got the recipe out of the Kraft magazine! We took a large box of pudding and three cups of milk and mixed it with the hand mixer for two minutes then folded in 1 cup of cool whip thawed. The we let the kids make individual pudding pops and mix in whatever they wanted. I set up all these little bowls with things to mix in..m&m's, oreos crushed, chopped up marshmallows etc they mixed it up and it was put in paper cups and we stuck plastic spoons in the middle and now they are freezing! I'll keep you posted but they looked soooooo yummy!

For Mindy...
Mindy I hope the layered dinner turned out well for you, I love it because there is no dishes and I don't have to think of a side dish, it's all there! I forgot to post that you can also take fresh green beans (ends snapped off of course!) and wrap them in a foil packet and use them in place of corn!
The pork tacos are super easy!
I used a 1 lb boneless pork loin, add about 1-2 tsp taco seasoning or seasoned salt, sprinkle it all over the meat, then add about 1/2 cup lowrys tequila lime marinade and crockpot for 6-7 hrs until shreddable. Shred with a fork and serve with taco fixin's. yummy!

The kids first Rays game...
We also went to the Rays game the other day! It was Ryan and Paiges first game and we all had so much fun! Paige would stick her tongue out at the umpire when we didn't agree with his calls, and screamed "that's not very nice!" when the Orioles pitcher hit one of our guys! It was great and the kids loved screaming and yelling and waving their foam fingers! The Rays won so it made for a great night out with the family! I just don't understand parents who don't love doing things like that with their kids! We enjoy our family outings immensely!
Fun at Busch Gardens...
We had so much fun at Busch Gardens with the kids the other day, and as you can see Ryan and Paige made a new friend! The kids thought it was hilarious that I was so scared on the skyride, I was clutching the pole in the center for dear life! We rode the flume ride twice so each of the kids could have a chance to sit up front they thought the"flu ride" was the best thing ever!
