Tasty Tuesday

Thanksgiving is over but that doesn't mean that you can't still enjoy some yummy pumpkin pie! Did you know that the average piece of pumpkin pie can have around 323 calories per serving (1/8)? Yikes! That can add up to a lot if you eat more than one slice....like me. Well, I hit the jackpot with the recipe I will share below. I forgot to take a picture, so I guess I'll have to remake the pie and update this post. :)

Adapted from Skinnytaste
Serving size: 8

Ingredients:
15 oz. canned pumpkin (puree not pumpkin pie filling!)
2 tablespoons light butter (I used Smart Squeeze. It has 5 calories in 1 tablespoon.)
1/4 cup Splenda
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350℉
In a large bowl, beat pumpkin puree, butter, egg, egg whites, milk, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, splenda, and brown sugar until smooth.
Spray a 9 inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray, then pour mixture into pan.
Bake for 45 minutes or until knife comes out clean.
Allow to cool, then cut yourself a slice & enjoy!

With the ingredients I used, I managed to slash the calories down to 90 per slice! Keep in mind that the calories will differ depending on the ingredients you use. Miss the crust? I understand! I love crust. The great thing about this recipe is that it is still "skinny" if you add a crust. A pie crust (depending on which one you use), will add around 100 calories per slice. 190 versus 323 is still amazing!

Black Friday

It's that time of the year again! My mom and I were able to score some awesome deals at Walgreens!

With every transaction that we did, we also received coupons for '$2 off purchase of $10 or more' and 'get 2,000 points on your purchase of $10 or more.'

Our mission for today is to see how much we can save with those coupons! More to come...

General Mills Monster Cereals Review

Vampires, ghosts, wolves, and mummies, oh myyyy!

If you've been to Target recently, then you probably seen the super cool retro Monster cereal boxes.

Yup, Target took a step back in time and re-released monster cereals PLUS re-introduced two flavors: Fruity Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute!!! Oh and let's not forget about the Monster Bash Magazine that came with your purchase of (3) Monster Cereals in a single transaction (purchased between 10/1-10/31). Although the Monster Bash magazine is filled with yummy recipes & tips, my little goblins and I decided to keep things simple with our Monster cereal samples.

Pictured above is my fall/Halloween themed breakfast. I made myself a tasty omelet with a bowl of oats mixed with pumpkin puree and topped with Fruity Yummy Mummy. Wow, can we say delicious?! My little goblins decided to keep the retro theme going and enjoyed their cereal with good ol' fashioned milk.

Halloween will quickly be over, but don't let that stop you from enjoying a spooktacular breakfast. Hop on your broomstick and fly on over to Target to get your hands on all the tasty flavors: Franken Berry, Count Chocula, Fruity Yummy Mummy, Frute Brute, and Boo-Berry. Don't forget to check out General Mills Grocery Savvy for recipes, promotions, coupons, and much more.

Wordful Wednesday

Homeschooling is in full force at my house. I didn't think I had it in me! Take a look at some of our activities that we have done:

We are currently reviewing the alphabet (along with other subjects). If you are in search of a curriculum, check out Brightly Beaming Resources. I have also found a number of great resources on Pinterest.

Target: Sweet BOGO Deal ENDS TODAY!

I love Target!
I had to go to pick up a few things, so I figured I would try out a deal that I read about on the WUC forum. If you receive Target mobile coupons, then you probably have seen the coupon for buy one accessory item (sunglasses, jewelry, or watch), get one free (max retail value $58.99 for free item). Word on the internet is that when you use this coupon, you get the higher priced item for free! I can confirm that it works! Check it out:
