My "Muffin Tin Diet"

I lost 10 lbs last September/October

BUT

then we had a 3 house guests for 2 months,

a new baby in the house

and the holidays were here.  

So now I'm going to look at the positive side of all of this.

I am very happy to announce that I have kept off the 10 lbs off

and am finally ready to restart my new lifestyle.

Our house guests are gone

and we have a beautiful new granddaughter, Amira

I have several issues with my eating.

1.  I don't usually eat until I'm starving and then I just grab whatever is convenient.

2.  I don't drink nearly enough water during the day.

3.  I like to eat at bedtime.

4.  I'm used to cooking with white rice, pasta and white potatoes. 

5.  I hate writing down and figuring out what I'm eating.  It takes a lot of time and prep to get recipes and figure out how much I can eat.

6.  Once I eat a sweet I can't get enough.

7.  I tend to save the fresh and healthy food for the kids.

This is where the "Muffin Tin Diet" started for me.

Not everything will be in a muffin tin but the serving size and convenience of the tins 

make cooking and measuring easier for me.

It also makes for nice individual servings that I can easily freeze and heat up later.

So far I've got a few breakfast, dinner and dessert items in the freezer.

It feels nice to have foods ready to heat and eat that are healthy.

So my first recipe is simple and the kids like these too.

These are my Strawberry/Lemonade Frozen Yogurt Cups. 

I dumped

1 container of Greek Low Fat Yogurt into my blender 

6 cups of frozen strawberries

1 packet of instant lemonade mix

blended it up,

poured the mixture into paper lined muffin tins,

froze the yogurt

and then put the frozen yogurt cupcakes in a bowl with a sealed lid into the freezer. 

I let them thaw a little and then I have a

nice, creamy, delicious snack

that are only 43 calories per cupcake.

I used the paper liners for easier cleanup and the yogurt comes right out of them as they start to thaw.

I'll be back tomorrow with another quick and easy recipe in a muffin tin.

P.S.......

Earl just called me and said he's having Chinese delivered to the house

for a surprise for me and the kids. 

Thanks Babe for thinking about me and sabotaging my plans for the day.

Well let's look up calories for Chinese food ❤❤
