Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Are You Craving


Chocolate? If your New Year's Resolution is to lose weight, or just eat healthier, you may be suffering from cravings about now! Read on!

It's not often that I am obsessed with something enough to blog about it numerous times, but I am again directing your attention to The Hungry Girl cookbooks! I will be the first to admit, I'm obsessed with eating. It's one of my favorite things to do, which is why I love baking. Secondly, because I'm always watching what I eat for health reasons, I'm always hungry! These cookbooks are perfect! They have "makeovers" for almost anything I want to eat and I'm certain that you would agree if you took a peek at their website. Check it here.

As I was browsing through one of my Hungry Girl Recipe books this morning, I came upon a recipe that looks wonderful for us chocolate lovers! I'm going to make it as soon as I gather the ingredients from the market. I thought I'd share it with you and give you a "taste" of how great their recipe makeovers can be! This makes 1 serving so you won't be tempted with leftover cake. At 130 calories you can afford to have your chocolate fix!

Mini Microwave Triple Chocolate Cake
2 tablespoons devil's food cake mix
2 tablespoons Cool Whip Free, thawed
1 tablespoon fat free vanilla yogurt
1 tablespoon Hershey's Lite chocolate syrup, divided

In a small dish, stir together the cool whip and half of the chocolate syrup. Place chocolatey whipped topping in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the rest of your dessert.

In a very small microwave safe dish (think ramekin), combine cake mix and yogurt. Stir until smooth and blended. (It will puff up as it cooks so don't be depressed by the appearance of such a small serving.)

Microwave for 1 minute. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove chocolatey whipped topping from the freezer and spoon it over your cake. Drizzle the remaining chocolate syrup on top and enjoy!!
