Blueberry Muffins and Pizza



First comment - no I didn't eat these together... had the blueberry muffin for breakfast and the pizza for lunch.

big fat blueberry muffins. if you made the recipe as listed 137 calories each.... I didn't have any applesauce (already added to my grocery list) and I can't do Splenda (gives me headaches). So I used good ole oil for the applesauce and part sugar part sweetnlow for the splenda. I calculated that mine came out at 177 calories each. Did you know the Starbuck's blueberry muffin has around 500 calories and 19 grams of fat!

Easy to make... only makes six though....but since my husband informed me that he doesn't like blueberries (who knew?) and the kids each tasted them and said - "eww... too many blueberries" six was probably fine for us. Personally, I like blueberries.... and don't they give you brain power or something??? Overall the muffin was good.... since it is made with whole wheat flour - it definitely has the whole grainy taste. Kept me full for the morning!

superb-y herby sauce-exposed pizzas. Followed the recipe to the t. SUPER EASY! I don't know what kind of english muffins she uses... but she indicated that the recipe has 6 grams of fiber... and my english muffins (Thomas BetterStart Light) have 8 grams. So my calories may be a little higher than what they have listed also. But I am guessing by only 10 or 15.

Most tasty! Next time, I might even consider adding some turkey pepperoni... I am not usually a english muffin fan... but these tasted just like a pizza crust. My son tasted one and said it was pretty good. Daughter did not try one. Took the hubbie a turkey wrap for lunch... but I think if I added some veggies and the turkey pepperoni - he would like these!

We had several families over from church last night so we have left-overs that we will finish up for dinner tonight....

so tomorrow I am looking at trying the turkey reuben quesadilla and maybe an egg dish for breakfast!

Have a great Monday!
