Well, yet another year has come to an end. This journey is all about making choices. Accordinly, I have chosen to give myself the day off and enjoy a few things that I don’t get to eat very often any longer with my current eating plan (authentic Mexican food and some real ice cream ) I’ll be back tomorrow for a new year and a new OP streak.

Instead of my journal today, I’ll leave you with a photo and a recipe.

Pumpkin Fluffernuggets

A couple of people have asked me about the fluffernugget entries on my journal the past couple of days. The recipe can be found on the Hungry Girl website. Two fluffernuggets are 1 point. Here is a pic of the ones I made:

Here is another quasi-recipe for something I’ve been enjoying lately. I’ve really come to love the unsweetened Almond Breeze. It’s extremely versatile, has a great taste, and is much lower in calories (40 calories per cup) than nonfat milk.

Almond Breeze Chai Latte

Mix equal parts unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze (could also use original flavor) and sugar-free Oregon Chai original chai tea latte concentrate. Add Splenda to taste if you like your chai sweetened. I usually just add a splash of sugar-free DaVinci Chai syrup which both sweetens it and boosts the chai flavor as well.

This recipe can be enjoyed either hot or cold. For a hot latte, mix everything together and then just put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes on High. For a cold latte, mix everything together and pour over ice.

Per 16-oz serving: Approximately 40 calories, 3g fat, 1g fiber
Points: 1

If you can’t find the Almond Breeze, this recipe can also be made using light soy milk. The points would need to be adjusted based upon the soy milk used to make it.
