We Cheated!!




Sometimes you want a quick treat without all the fuss of making it from scratch! Well, when you can't have any Sugar, Sugar that can be a little hard!! So we cheated this time.....started with a store bought cake mix and I added a little extra fiber - well, a lot of extra fiber! Gotta love this stuff, you can add it to just about anything and nobody is the wiser! Shhhh, don't tell anyone...they thought they got good old, yellow cupcakes!! NOT!


The icing still presents a challenge for us because as I am sure you know, icing is nothing but sugar, and sugar and more sugar. Oh yeah....and butter....and a little milk. So, with this one we used less sugar but the normal amount of butter and cocoa powder. They turned out great, and with only a tablespoon of icing all was well in the land of Glucose testing!!


The Princess enjoyed these more than anyone....

We did make some really yummy Muffins the other morning, I will post the recipe for them. They were ULTRA healthy, full of fiber, yogurt, real fruit flavors and barely any sugar! Good stuff!!!
