Pumpkin Muffins

These muffins are soooo yummy I feel like I'm splurging! But they are a GREAT source of fiber and for all my Weight Watchers peeps out there, they are only 2 points!

1 Box Spice Cake Mix (just the powder)
15 oz can of pumpkin
1 C Water

Mix together and put in muffin tins.  Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes until they bounce back when you touch the top of the muffin.  Makes 24 muffins.

Thai Chop Chop Salad

This is so delicious and it's very reminiscent of my favorite Thai salad, Som tam.


Thai Chop Chop Salad


2 Cups Red Cabbage
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 bunch spring onion (more or less to taste)
handful of cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup peanuts

Dressing:
1 Cup Hot Salsa
1 TBL Fish Sauce (or Soy Sauce)
4 TBL Lime Juice (juice of two limes)

Olympic Broccoli Salad

I just had the BEST weekend in Canada. While visiting my dear friends Kelli, Hans and Kristen, Kelli made THE best broccoli salad for our adventure to the Olympics. I just couldn't get enough of this mixture so I thought I'd dub it "Olympic Broccoli Salad" in honor of my Canadian friends and the Olympic-sized fun we had.

 Olympic Broccoli Salad
6-8 cups of broccoli chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup carrots ½ red onion or white onion (add more if you like it more oniony)
½ c sunflower seeds or other nuts chopped up
½ c craisins
2/3 C FF vanilla yogurt
2 tsp pepper

Mix all ingredients. You can also add any other veggie you would like, I have had it with califlower and peppers as well. DELISH! Best when served after chilling in the fridge, as the flavors blend together nicely.
