Loving All The "cupcake" Recipes!



Recommended Posts

I love to cook and I have missed it so much. I have been dying to get to the point when I could try all the different cupcake recipes from "emilys bites". So I tried the French dip "cupcakes" today and I am so excited!! They are delicious and with just one I am stuffed! It's the little things in life that makes me happy!

Im so glad to hear someone likes them. I was looking at the nut content and is not bad for one cupcake and i assumed that would be all one could eat. Have you tried any reheated yet? I was thinking they would be geat to take to work for lunch. Which one is your favorite?

They are good reheated, I think. I usually make them on a Sunday, a Breakfast batch and a lunch batch, and then take them to work for the week. I like the lasagna cupcakes the best so far. And, the hashbrown, egg and sausage ones too. You can get the recipes at Emilybites.com I haven't tried them all yet, but eventually I am sure I'll try most.

I've made many to include the french dip mentioned above, lasagna, mexican, parmesan chicken and buffalo chicken. I usually make a couple of different types at a time and put them in the freezer, individually wrapped. I like to have variation saved up and pull one out each morning to take to work. I absolutely love this idea. It leaves me little decision making as to what I'm having for lunch other than what kind sounds good for the day!

How do you reheat from the freezer? Just thaw and microwave?

Yes, It's usually thawed by the time I heat it up in the microwave at lunch and it takes about one minute to one minute 20 seconds to reheat. I'm up at 5:00 AM so like not having to figure out lunch so early in the morning. Just grab and go.

Sorry I missed everyone comments yesterday but it looks like the questions were answered. Yes the website is emilybites.com and she has lots of great weight watcher recipes. I have only tried the French dip so far but I'm going to make the cheeseburger and taco ones this weekend to freeze. These are great grab and go!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
