Mug Muffin

I don't want to bore all of you with my WW stuff, but I thought I'd share this one. (I refuse to go all crazy with dieting because I don't think that mindset is healthy and literally no one wants to hear about every little thing I eat, but now that my master's is almost done and I have a job I love most of the time, its time to tackle the next thing and thats getting rid of pregnancy weight from 7 years ago...) Its a 3 point recipe and easy to make. My kids fought over it, so I didn't really get to try it, but that means it was probably good.

1/4 oatmeal (some sort of flavored oatmeal works best, I'm told, but I did it with plain, and the kids ate it just fine).

1 egg

1/4 unsweetened applesauce

1 banana if you want, or a few chocolate chips if you prefer. Probably not the chocolate chips if you are doing an apple flavored oatmeal, but if you want, go for it.

Mix well in a mug, microwave for 3 minutes and let sit for 30 seconds. I flipped this onto a plate so I could wash the mug right away, and it cleaned really easily.

High protein and long burning carbs make it diabetic friendly as well (although the applesauce is a bit problematic, but I think the others outweigh it). Its not perfect, but it will suffice when what you really want is a giant cinnamon streusel muffin from the bakery with the big sugar pieces on top that make you remember that those people who say nothing tastes as good as skinny feels are lying to themselves and the world.

Best Chocolate Ice Cream Ever... and simple

As I've been cooking almost strictly with things in our pantry, I invented a chocolate ice cream recipe out of necessity.  Stef says it is the best chocolate ice cream she has ever had period, which is praise she does not give out easily... 

3/4 cup cocoa

3/4 cup sugar

2 cups milk

dissolve in saucepan, refrigerate

Add 1c whipping cream

1c sweetened condensed milk

Freeze.

Obviously this is not a healthy recipe.
