Have you been introduced?

Let me tell you about someone. If you haven't met her, you need to. 

Her name is Hungry Girl. 

Can you relate to that name?

I CAN!

Well, her real name is Lisa Lillien. I have been watching her blog and her website (above) for years. Recently, she has come out with two cookbooks and frequently visits the Today Show and the Morning Show. She is adorable. She is a normal girl who likes to eat. (HELLO, me too!!!) but doesn't want to be huge (and again...I agree). 
So, she decided to make yummy foods with substitutions. Such as butternut squash fries. Or my favorite brownie/fudge (one box of devils food cake mix or brownie mix and one can of Libby's pumpkin): mix together with NOTHING else and put in 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes. Yummy fudgie brownie.

Check her out. I bet you will like her.

If you already know her, tell me a recipe you like.

Cupcake Awesomeness...

Have you ever heard of Hungry Girl? Well if you haven't....you've been sleeping for several years. Was that insulting? I didn't mean it. Well, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but I did mean to awaken you to her 'amazing-ness'. I was into her well before her first cookbook, which you can buy here. These are not included in either of her two cookbooks, but they look awesome. These cupcakes are a very toned down calorie (but not taste) version of vanilla cupcakes.

I'm thinking of playing a little game with this version and coloring them, sort of like Meg did...

I'll update when I make them, which just might be tomorrow since I have the day off.
You've got to appreciate military schools and the middle of the week day off for Veteran's Day. We'll take what we can get :)
Have a great Wednesday!
