Its Wednesday! Almost to the weekend!!!
Anthony had no school today due to a little snow, and when i say little Im serious, roads are not bad at all, but in DC when it snows even just a dusting, schools close, everyone freaks out, lol!!
Too funny!!! So snow day for Anthony! I dragged him to the gym with me, he played in the Basketball court while I did Cardio and legs!! Squats + Lunges + Donkey Kicks = death!
Oh and here is a little tour of my gym where I live and the basketball court here too....
The Basketball Court , it is really nice, nice for Anthony to play too while I am at the gym, this is also where we have Body Blast Class and yoga : )
The gym is really nice, there is a weight area too and a smith machine : )
There is a little tour : )
Today is National Carrot Cake Day so make some of Hungry Girls cupcakes to celebrate!!!!!
For cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots, roughly chopped if shreds are long
1 cup (1/4th of box) Pillsbury Moist Supreme Reduced Sugar Cake Mix, Classic Yellow
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup canned pure pumpkin
2/3 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
2/3 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice (not drained)
2/3 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/4 cup raisins (not packed)
2 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed)
1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
For frosting:
4 oz. fat-free cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt (or another thick, plain fat-free yogurt)
1/2 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine all dry cupcake ingredients except for the carrots and raisins (in other words -- cake mix, flour, Splenda, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and baking powder). Mix well and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin, egg substitute, and 1/4 cup water until blended. Add the contents of the medium bowl to the large bowl. Using a wire whisk or fork, blend until just mixed. Then, stir in the carrots, pineapple, and raisins. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute cake mixture among the cups, and place in the oven to cook for 20 - 25 minutes (until a toothpick poked into the center of one comes out clean). While the cupcakes cook, combine all the frosting ingredients in a small bowl. Using a whisk or fork, blend until smooth. Place frosting in the fridge to chill. Once cupcakes are fully cooked, remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool completely. Then plate cupcakes, and spread frosting evenly over tops. Refrigerate until frosting has set and you're ready to serve. Enjoy!!! MAKES 12 SERVINGS

Darnit I missed the memo!!! Carrot cake and tiramisu are my all time favorite cakes. And I have to agree with you on giving that granola a 10/10. I love it too!! I have been on such a granola kick lately. You should try the soymilk + granola + nut butter in the microwave idea on my last post!! Seriously, it's soooo good. I put it in there for about 40 seconds so the peanut butter melts. You will have to let it cool down though lol. Anyway, you and your friends are seriously such beautiful women. Seems like you're all sexy forces to be reckoned with ;)
your gym looks fantastic! Thats a great idea to take pics so we can see where you work on your fitness!
I love Carrot Cake.. too bad I don't have time today to give your cupcake recipe a try.. but i will soon though
