Low fat cupcakes.
Soo I love cake, cupcakes any sweets lol Well yesterday I had a small celebration with some family members for my daughters 8th birthday and I made these delish low fat cupcakes.
You can take any boxed cake mix and make it with just 12oz of diet soda. The possibilities are endless. I made confetti cupcakes with 12 oz of diet rootbeer! they turned out delish. I let them cool and topped them with kroger brand lite coolwhip.
I made them with diet cream soda another time which I actually liked better than with the diet rootbeer.
I have heard of people mixing it with diet dr. pepper and red velvet cake.
1 Box cake mix
1 can diet soda
1 tub lite cool whip
cupcake liners
Mix 1 box mix with 1 can of soda (do not mix with eggs, oil and water: You only need the can of pop)
Pour into their cupcake liners and bake for about 18 minutes. Once cooked top with your cool whip!
**Note** The texture of these are a little stickier than a regular cupcake. But still Yummy!

Monday Meal
Happy Monday! I have another recipe for you all, I must admit though I don’t have an image. I am horrible about getting images of the meals I make!
Tonight for dinner I tried Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls and Mac and Cheese… My kids LOVED the Ham and Cheese Crescent Rolls!
What you need: Serves 6
1 Roll Crescent Rolls (8 pk)
8 Slices Of Ham (I used Lunch Meat)
8 Slices American Cheese
Set your oven to 350 degrees
Open your roll and separate all of your crescent rolls.
Take 1 slice of cheese and fold it in half so you have to piece
Fold over the ham and layer it with the 2 pieces of cheese.
Wrap them up in the crescent rolls
Once you have them all done stick them in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown!
This fed my family of 6 with a side of Mac and Cheese! I think there was even an extra one lol
Monday’s Meal: Oreo Cupcakes
Hi guys! Cammi here, bringing you a delicious recipe that will be perfect for the upcoming holidays. As I’ve posted before, I love all things oreo. When I came across this recipe for Oreo Cupcakes from Proceed With Caution (who had modified recipes from Williams Sonama and Whimsical Bakehouse), I knew I had to try them, and WOW they were delicious! They didn’t last 24 hours in my house! I hope you enjoy as much as my family has!
Oreo Cupcakes
Cupcake from Williams-Sonoma Cakes and frosting from Little Cakes From the Whimsical Bakehouse; directions adapted slightly.
Yield: 24 cupcakes
For the cupcakes:
~ 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
~ 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
~ 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
~ 1/2 tsp. baking soda
~ 1/2 tsp. salt
~ 12 Tbs. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
~ 2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
~ 2 tsp. vanilla extract
~ 4 eggs, at room temperature
~ 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
~ 24 oreos, one side twisted off and reserved for frosting
Preheat an oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners in cupcake pan. Place one oreo in each liner, creme side up.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add the brown sugar and continue beating until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the flour, beating after each addition.
Divide the batter between the prepared liners. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 19 to 24 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Let the cupcakes cake cool completely before filling and frosting.
For the frosting/filling:
~ 1 1/4 cups whipping cream
~ 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (I just pulsed some granulated sugar in a mini food processor)
~ 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
~ 1/2 cup Oreo cookie crumbs, made from reserved oreo sides
In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff. Gently fold in the cookie crumbs. Scoop the mixture into a piping bag (or gallon sized ziplock bag), and using a 1M tip, inject filling into each cupcake by sticking the tip into the middle of the cupcake and squeezing a bit. Frost the cupcakes and top with 1/2 of an oreo.

Monday’s Meal: Sweet Potato Casserole
Happy Thanksgiving week! I don’t know about you, but I have a super busy week this week. We’re having three Thanksgiving meals this week. That equals a LOT of cooking! Tomorrow we’re having a company pot luck, Thursday we are celebrating with my husband’s family. And Saturday we are celebrating with my family. Lots of good times and good food to be had this week! We have much to be thankful for.
On of my favorite Thanksgiving staples is sweet potato casserole. I do not prefer the one with the marshmallows, but rather the ones with the pecans on top. YUM-O! So today I’m sharing my go-to Sweet Potato Casserole recipe from All Recipes with you! Enjoy!

Monday’s Meal: Garlic Cheese bread
Hello! Cammi here with today’s recipe for Monday’s Meal. I am always on the look out for a quick, easy, and delicious side item recipe. I came across this a couple of weeks ago and wow!!! It was SOO good! I’m posting the recipe exactly as it was listed, but even as a garlic lover-the garlic was almost too much. I’ll be trying it with only one clove of garlic next time. I found this delicious recipe on Simply Recipes.
Cheesy Garlic Bread
INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 lb shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 to 1 cup chopped green onion (to taste)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp sour cream (optional)
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup, 4 ounces), softened to the point of being slightly melted
- 1 to 2 loaves of French or Italian bread (I used Ciabatta), depending on the size of the loaves
METHOD
1 In a large bowl, mix together the cheeses and the green onion. Stir in the mayonnaise and sour cream. In a separate small bowl blend the butter and garlic until smooth. Add the butter mixture to the cheese mixture.
2 Preheat broiler. Slice loaf of bread in half horizontally, lay crust side down. Spread cheese mixture over the bread. Place under the broiler until nicely browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.
3 Remove from broiler and let sit for 5 minutes until cool enough to handle. Slice the bread with a bread knife. Serve.
Yield: Makes 30 to 40 slices.

Monday’s Meal: Mummy Dogs!
Halloween is creeping up on us! Mummy dogs are a favorite treat for my kids. (I admit, I love them too!) And they’re super easy! Thanks to Divine Dinner Party for the recipe and photo!
MUMMY DOGS
Ingredients:
1 (11 oz) can refrigerated breadstick dough
2 slices cheddar cheese, quartered (optional)
8 hot dogs
black mustard seeds
Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. If desired, place one cheddar cheese slice on your hot dog. Then wrap each dog to look like a mummy, leaving a open area for the eyes.
3. Cut two tiny slits in the exposed hot dog and insert two black mustard seeds for eyes. If you’d like to give your mummies entire faces, you can cut a little slit for a mouth, which will gape open a bit during cooking.
4. Place mummy dogs on an ungreased baking sheet and bake around 15 minutes, until golden.
5. Serve with plenty of ketchup and mustard and listen to the kids rave about having such Halloween recipes fun.
