I have a weight watchers recipe....take a yellow box cake mix and add 100% packed pumpkin( not the pumpkin pie filling )
Add the 2 together, pour into muffin tins sprayed with a non stick spray.
Back at 350 approx 15 to 20 mins - depends on size of ur muffin tine and if u have gas or electric range.
U can add cinnamon or nutmeg to garnish the tops while warm....
PS- this is similar to the Chocolate pumpkin muffins I did at Christmas time
YUM Selma! My husband loves anything pumpkin! I'll have to give this one a try once it cools down enough to turn on the oven!

I love pumpkin as well and it is a weight watchers recipe so that helps...and only 2 ingredients...perfect, I have both and plan to make some this weekend.
What ever u do, do NOT use cup cake papers u will never get them off, only foil cups work. At Christmas I made the chocolate ones and added coconut and then used the mini muffin tins and then placed them in the paper once they were out of the pan....they were a very moist muffin...so I can not wait for this one...yum.

Here is one from Dr Oz's blog-Chocolate cake is usually a diet disaster, but it doesn’t have to be. TV host, author and "foodologist" Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien’s trick is the perfect way to shave off some unwanted calories. By using club soda instead of normal baking ingredients, you can cut out 100 extra calories per slice!

Baked Tilapia! (I don't like fish, but I can eat this everyday! And it's healthy!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I use frozen Tilapia from Walmart. Defrost and rinse how ever many you want to bake. Pat dry them with a paper towel. I line a baking sheet with foil (easy clean-up!) and spray Pam on it. Coat each top of fish with 2 tsp. of Reduced fat grated Parmesan cheese and rub in until the whole top is covered. Sprinkle season on top- enough to flavor. I use Paul-Prudomme's poultry magic. Bake for 15 minutes or so, until the fish breaks when you pull it apart.
Now you have your protein with very little fats! Super easy and quick! My fiance' is a beach body coach. He recommends this to his customers!

That is one I have not tried, we eat Haddock and Salmon....but I have yet to try the Tilapia....and we use foil but we put it on the gril using a little olive oil and some seasoning...very good and low on fats as well ...I love this...yum
Well I took your idea, and we grilled some fish! It was red snapper on the half shell! We made a sauce to cover it, and I was thoroughly impressed! Thanks for the idea! Sometimes, I can't think of anything new to cook!
COMMUNITY LEADER
I am so glad u were able to create a new dish that u enjoyed !....Now u will have to share the ingredients for ur sauce and how u did this, how long it was on the grill etc....so someone else can give it a try : )
we made copy kat pasta e fagoli from Olive Garden. Made a ton of it. Easy enough and plenty to freeze...tho there may not be enough to, hubbys co-workers are requesting to go bowls for tomorrow!
We were going to make beans & greens but couldn't find any escarole. I am not making it with collards!
COMMUNITY LEADER
Never heard of it....and never had collards either...lol...that is a southern thing for sure...we do not eat that up north here....lol...
Please explain just what it is.
Full disclosure: Im not a very good cook!
Think of the toughest meat, then think of the vegetable version = collards. I once had them cooked by a very good organic cook though, & it was delicious.
It's traditional in NC (& I guess throughout the SE?) to eat black eyed peas & collards for the new year.
I actually make an Italian good luck New Year's dish w/lentils, carrots, & sausage. My DH is a vegetarian, so I freeze it, & eat it until July 4th. (jk).
Beans & greens is a garlicky based Italian soup, w/white beans. Some people use spinach or chard. Or kale. Jiggle (?) made me think of it when she mentioned pasta e fagioli.
One thing I miss about NY, esp on friday, is fried haddock. Cant get that here either, & I don't know how to duplicate it.
One thing Chiari did to me, from Day 1, was to have next to no taste buds, & thus no appetite. Everything tasted like cardboard. My parents always knew that there was "something" wrong w/me. Can you imagine being Italian and not eating?!

LMAO...ok...I get the picture on collards....
U can't get the haddock or get it fried? It is funny how the diff areas of the country they eat diff things....
We went to Mass, to see Boston and they only have little breakfast sausage links.,..no other sausage....I was so upset we could not get it up there.
But I also had the change in my taste buds....things I was eating all the time I can not even stand the smell of let alone eat it ne more...not sure what or y the change....weird...
No...I can eat some things ok...and others not so much....and still I do not lose weight....I do not eat a lot....
I am not Italian, but that must be hard...
I have been able to get haddock only in the last couple years. What does one do with all the water that comes out of it?
There is fried (or frahd, as my southern DH would say) fish, but only catfish.
I suppose, to a family, being Italian and not liking food is like being Jewish w/a kid who believes in Jesus, lol. Or so it seemed.

LMAO....Oh my u have u laughing....lol....sigh....
Well y do u have so much water with it?...I usually bake it....put it in a pan with a little olive oil/butter, garlic and seasonings.....cover with foil and it is always so good....I have never tried frying it as I avoid fried foods....with reflux it is not a good thing to have....we have made the haddock on the grill in foil as well...
Lol! You guys crack me up! I am loving some of the new recipes. I love the chocolate cake tip. I love me some chocolate. Here's one that isn't so weight friendly, but delicious.

Hey, I am glad we could entertain u : P
Now the Baked shrimp ziti is something I have to make when DD is home as my SIL , DD and DH all would love it....and one that I may even want to try...lol...
I am picky about what I eat....but this does not sound like nething I would not want to try.,...hmmm I will let u know.
I got this from the unmentionable MS: bake an acorn squash, slice it crosswise into 1/2-3/4 " slices. Cook frozen peas & put them in the slices, one per person. It looks very pretty, keeps the peas in one place on the plate, & I found that my kids were more apt to try a molecule of squash served this way.
I suppose if you got real creative, you could have mashed potatoes in the squash, decorated w/peas.

Y'all tickle me! LMAO! I am a Southern girl! From LA- that's lower Alabama Lol! And you have to have eat black-eyed peas with hog jowl or salt pork on New Years day for good luck to ensure prosperity and fortune ! You soak the peas (after rinsing and sorting them to make sure you get any dirt and rocks out of course) then you soak them overnight (some will drain and rinse them again this is a personal choice) add the hog jowl or salt pork and cook all day on low heat till ready! But the thing is you have to have fried corn bread to go with it! yummy!!!!! And collards with pepper sauce are awesome!!! Serve that up with some fried chicken and it's so good it'll make you wanna smack your granny! Lol!
It's a southern thang but let me tell you, you have no idea what your missin! :)
