Jolt!
This week has been a doozy. And we are fighting feverishly to win the war against the winter blahs - complete with karate kicks aimed at the germs inside of our bodies. It has been a week of ice pops, open windows, Goodbye ick flowers, and brightly painted toes! I also made a beautiful bean salad that's full of bright flavor to jolt my taste buds into my fantasy! I learned about the method for this salad from my Nannie and I love it! (alter however you please):

The Bee's Knees
Working on a resolution that didn't make the public list, I found myself in need of a recipe that wasn't high in fat and calories but would still satisfy my need for bread. I found this. And now make them every Sunday!
Low-Cal Banana Muffins
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup bran (I grind in the food processor)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 baking soda
1 cup mashed bananas
1/4 cup splenda or honey
1/4 cup applesauce
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray muffin tin.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl beat banana, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Stir in applesauce.
Gradually stir in flour mixture. Do not overmix.
Divide batter between muffin cups. Will make 12 muffins unless you've also got a 5 year old who thinks the batter is just "the bee's knees".
Bake for 15-20 minutes. I use the toothpick trick.
The website that I adapted this from breaks down the nutritional information and states that there are only 76.7 calories in each muffin. But their recipe uses sugar not splenda. Sooooo, for my purposes I round down and claim that MY muffins only have 50 calories!!!
That's what I'm talking about!
This recipe has been adapted form the Low-Cal Banana Muffins recipe that can be found on SparkRecipes.com.

I'm sorry, but I had to do it...
Had to brag that is! Over the past year or so I have found the internet and this blogging thing to be a tremendous source of inspiration and a revolving list of extremely valuable resources. That being said I want to share with you the results from my shopping trip today for groceries:
And here's how it broke down:
Rite Aid
4 (count them again, four!) boxes of Special K cereal for $0.24!!!!!
Dollar Tree Market
Three loaves of Nature Grain Honey Wheat Bread
Applesauce
Tangelos
2 Green Peppers
1 pack of Cobblestone Mill Kaiser Rolls
Total = $9.25
BJ's
Milk
OJ
Today's Shopping Total = $16.35!!!!!!!
Obviously the biggest deal was on the cereal and really they were the only items I had coupons for. The bread selection was great at the Dollar Tree Market today and the produce prices were too! So, all in all I'm feeling pretty good right now because there is nothing I like better than scoring on a good deal! Have you found any deals lately?
