Two New "cupcakes"

So... I was working on cooking food for this week and decided to venture off into some new territories with the infamous "cupcakes" we all seem to love so much here on VST... Have to say, they were both fantastic! Give them a shot and let me know what you think!

They're prepared just like the Lasagna or Cheeseburger Cupcakes so I'm going to shorten the directions a little. (There's plenty of places to find those full recipes but my favorite is where I think they all started at... Emily Bites)

First... Sloppy Joe Cupcake (makes 12 servings)

- 1/2 lb Lean Ground Turkey

- 1 cup Canned Sloppy Joe Mix (I like original Manwich the best)

- 12 Wonton Wrappers

- 6 tbls Freshly Grated Parmesan cheese

- 4 oz Shredded Skim Mozzarella

- 12 Dill Pickle Slices

Brown the turkey and mix with a little salt and pepper and add the Sloppy Joe mix.

Place one wonton wrapper in each cup of a cupcake pan.

Place a tablespoon or so of the turkey/sloppy joe mix in each wonton wrapper. (Evenly split the mix so you can make two layers in each cup.)

Place a small amount of grated parmesan cheese, a dill pickle slice and then the mozzarella cheese.

Repeat the turkey mix and cheeses (without a pickle the second time).

Bake at 360 for 15 mins and watch to make sure they don't brown too much or too quickly.

132 calories, 5 grams fat, 12 grams Protein and 8 grams of carbs. (Carbs can be a little lower if you hold back a little on the sloppy joe mix which I think you could probably do.)

Second one may seem a little weirder... My favorite pizza is shrimp and artichoke heart and I've been craving one pretty bad so...

Shrimp and Artichoke Pizza Cupcake (12 servings)

- 8 oz Cooked Baby Shrimp

- 1 cup Light Marinara (I use Ragu Light)

- 1/2 cup Chopped Artichoke Hearts

- 12 Wonton Wrappers

- 1/2 cup Skim Ricotta

- 6 oz Shredded Skim Mozzarella

- 6 tbls Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Mix the shrimp, marinara and artichokes together (no need to heat up).

Place one wonton wrapper in each cup of a cupcake pan.

Place a tablespoon or so of the shrimp mixture in each wonton wrapper. (Evenly split the mix so you can make two layers in each cup.)

Place a small amount of the ricotta, then the grated parmesan cheese, and finally the mozzarella cheese.

Repeat the shrimp mixture and cheeses.

Bake at 360 for 15 mins and watch to make sure they don't brown too much or too quickly.

108 calories, 4 grams fat, 11 grams protein and 7 grams of carbs.

Hope you enjoy!

I feel so off from being able to eat ANYThing right now. Just sleeved and sipping water and isopure grape - dear God will I ever be able to eat one of these? This is hard but I'm hopeful after reading this post! thanks for sharing

OMG...I just went to Emily Bites and found a cupcake called Hawaiian Barbecue, the ingredients remind me of a barbecue chicken pizza, yumm! I think I'd better stock up on wonton wrappers, I think I'll be making a lot of these in the future. I can even see my picky children liking these. :)

I have been making Hawaiian BBQ Chicken ones with a light BBQ sauce...shredded chicken breast, pineapple, scallions, and some sauteed peppers and onions... cheddar cheese on top...YUM.

I'm just starting my full diet and need something quick for lunch-these look perfect! I'm going to try some this weekend. I'm thinking a wonton cupcake with a little turkey and Thanksgiving diner sides (potato, veggie, cranberry, etc.) could be awesome for leftovers after turkey day next week!

I created my own pizza cupcakes and they were delicious. Could only eat two but it was like eating real pizza. Be creative....it's worth it.

I just made taco dip cupcakes. Cream cheese, salsa, Mexican shredded cheese on top. 7 grams of protein per cupcake, and oh so yummy!! And I also made a take on the ricotta bake...same thing in a wonton wrapper. Perfect for lunches!

My refrigerator killed over this week and I lost about 30 cupcakes.... ugh... I had Lasagna, Mexican and Buffalo Chicken. Now I have to start over with my collection of grab and go lunches. I love the cupcake concept.

Oh my....that just sucks!!

They freeze REALLY well too.

I only use 1 wonton wrapper. It decreases the carbs for those of us who need to eat really low carb. I use lots of cheese to help bind the food.
