I always gain weight in the summer. Am I the only one this happens to? The lack of schedule and abundance of fun summery activities cause me to lose all track of what I am putting in my mouth. Uggghhh, it's horrible! Now that summer is over, I am on a mission to lose my summer weight plus some.
On a recent episode of The Biggest Loser, they featured cupcakes made by Curtis Stone that were only 100 calories. A very exciting prospect! I had to have them. I Googled it to find the recipe. Disappointment is what followed. The recipe was not simple and ALL of the reviews were terrible. The internet consensus was that these cupcakes were disgusting. I was undetoured and I Googled on... I'm so glad I did.
I found this awesome recipe on Medicinenet.com and it is fantastic. These cupcakes ring in at a super-duper 98 calories, and 1.8 g of fat. My kids ate them today for their after-school snack and had absolutely no idea that they were anything but typical cupcakes. When I informed them that the cupcakes were not bad for them they asked to have them EVERYDAY!
If you are going to try one recipe, this is the one. I'm going to be making these often!
