HG’s 1-Point Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

I made these this weekend for a family BBQ and they got rave reviews!! They were so good, but it is hard to eat just one!


Hungry Girl Fudge...UNPUDGED!
Hungry Girl has done it again. Armed with nothing but pumpkin, some brownie mix and a VERY lowfat PB, she’s whipped up a version of chocolate peanut butter fudge that's so low in calories and fat, it'll make you cry tears of joy. Here's the secret recipe...

Ingredients:
2 cups canned pure pumpkin
1 box Betty Crocker Fudge Brownies Mix (the 18.3-oz. Family Size box)
2 tbsp. Better ‘n Peanut Butter, room temperature

Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine pumpkin with the brownie mix in a large bowl; stir until smooth (do not add anything else). Spray a small baking pan (8" X 8" work best - no larger!) with nonstick cooking spray and pour in the mixture. Spoon 2 tbsp. of Better ‘n Peanut Butter (room temperature) on top and use a knife to swirl peanut butter around. Cook for approximately 35 minutes. The batter will remain very thick and fudgy, and it should look undercooked. Remove from oven. Cover with aluminum foil and let cool in fridge for a couple of hours. Cut into 36 squares and serve.

A 10 POINT COOKIE!

YIKES!!

I was in the mood for a cookie today. I got up and jogged and did ballet this morning and felt like I deserved it. So, I got a Snickerdoodle at Starbucks. WOW! That Snicker doodle was 10 points!!

No more cookies at Starbucks for me!

Wii Fit

My lovely husband purchased the Wii Fit balance board for me the day it was released. A week and a half later I finally tried it. Wow! It is fun! And, it tells you if you are weak or have bad balance, or just suck!! I only tried a few things so far. The thing that I don't like is each exercise does not last very long, and you have to pick the controller and push (A) to do it again. But it does keep track of how long you actually did the exercises. I hope to get a chance to do it more!

The funniest part is the soccer heading game! It is hard, I missed a lot of balls! Then, you not only have balls coming at you, you have shoes coming at you that you have to dodge. Lets just say if that was real life, being hit in the face with about a dozen shoes, I would be unconscious!

Fit Flop (review)

I was asked how I am liking the FitFlops. I love them! They are cute! On Saturday I wore them around the mall, and here I am at work on Monday and my calves still hurt! My legs are definitely sore after wearing them, so they are doing something! I am not wearing them all the time or using them as my sole source for strengthening, but they are a great add-on.
