I signed up for a one hour healthy cooking class yesterday at work where they showed us a few simple recipes. So for example, for those boxes of cake mix that you buy at the store… instead of adding in eggs and oil and water… you just add the bag of cake mix with a can of pumpkin! And it was still good! You don’t taste the pumpkin! Someone in the group said that she mixes the bag of cake mix with a can of diet coke and nothing else. Interesting. But pumpkin is way better for you. There’s a lot of good stuff in there.
The instructor gave us some options for desserts… like gum.
My friend and I looked at each other like
. GUM?! That’s not dessert!!
I still can’t get over that she said gum. Well, she’s a better woman for it. She’s a mother of five year old TRIPLETS. And she looks good!
Did you ever learn this in school?
“Desert” is spelled with one “s” and “dessert” is spelled with two. That’s because you want two servings of dessert! Yeah!
I like to think I have two stomachs. One for food-food and one for dessert.
Oh, some flan would be heavenly right now.

pumpkin? that sounds good, but you can’t taste it?
cool..share some of these interesting recipes…it will defintely help me to keep hannah busy while we are at home.
That’s a great idea. You can also use applesauce. I just made some multigrain oatmeal muffins with applesauce – they are lowfat, high in fiber and SO good!!
@SarahakaHungry - they gave us samples and i didn’t taste any pumpkin at all. she had picked a chocolate flavored cake mix and that’s all i tasted. pumpkin is chock full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.
thanks for sharing this! it’s very interesting! i’ll have to try this recipe!
i’ve discovered lately that gum can indeed be a dessert. sometimes i crave something sweet after a meal but there’s no dessert to be found. a piece of gum can satisfy that craving.
yes! i also learned that there are 2 “s”s in dessert because you want more dessert. haha
and diet coke and cake mix?!? umm, i think i’d pass on that one. haha
and i also have 2 stomaches. one for regular food and other for desserts and boba
funny, that’s what the kids often say, that their dinner stomach is full, but their dessert stomach is not yet full. flan is chris’ favorite dessert too.
mm, flan. more pleasse.
sounds like a fun class, I think I might try that pumpkin idea out.
I normally don’t bake, but I gotta try that pumpkin trick to see what it tastes like.
