Bloggity Blog - You know you want to...

I had a meeting out of the hospital this morning (happens 2-3x a year) which meant
1) I treated myself to a mocha at Starbucks

2. I have managed to find (Weight Watchers) muffin mix and they are DELICIOUS! I highly recommend looking for Fiber One's Apple Cinnemon muffin mix and bake them using the low chol/low fat method (use apple sauce instead of oil and use egg whites instead of eggs). Your mouth will fill with happiness with every bite.
