happy thanksgiving

it's almost Turkey Day and as we all know, that means food. For my family it means watching the caloric intake of all that food and then discussing it.

my mom recently gave me a recipe for delicious pumpkin spice cupcakes -- they're only 2 points! (recipe below). i had some friends over and they loved them (and my husband has had 3 of them today). here's her email back:

I'm so glad, even Scott's 3 were worth what 1 cake donut is so no guilt there.

Glad your friends enjoyed them as well.  I made my cornicoupia (however you spell it) and cinnamon rolls had a small one =6 points the muffins would have been a better choice.  I'm done with the candy, sugar except for my WW treats.  For one thing they don't leave me feeling yukky and hyper.

Have a good one,
MOM

The recipe:
1 box of Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix
1 15 oz can of pumpkin
1 cup of egg substitute (or 2 eggs)

Mix all ingredients together. Grease cupcake pan, tablespoon mixture in. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 mins (don't over cook).
Pull out of oven, let cool in pan.

1 cup powered sugar
2 tbsp. of OJ
Mix

Pull cupcakes out of pan, dip top into glaze.

New Moon, you saw me standing alone ...

there have been SO many stories that warrant posts lately, but i've been lazy and haven't gotten to them. here's the latest and i'll work my way back in the next few posts.


TWILIGHT!!!!
that's right. the movie is here. NEW MOON! first of all, erin wrote another story about it and, so, of course, i forwarded it on to my mom, knowing she'd love every sentence. she did and emailed erin and me back with this:

Tell Erin, right on,  Hmmmm
I tell you  Pattinson is soooo hot, and yes he gets those hormones going.
I wouldn't ask for a bite, but a good long kiss for sure, and the "wolf" isn't bad either
Have a good day
Love you
MOM
