1 idea, and 2 recipes...

Ok...
...so I got this idea, and I think I am going to go for it.
I think I am going to write a cookbook. A diet cookbook. But, one that can apply to all diets. No matter if you are doing low carb, Weight Watchers, low salt, low cholesterol, low fat, whatever.
What do you all think?


So, I decided to write 2 of my favorite recipes here for review...please, make them and let me know what you think, comments, questions, etc...


First recipe,

OatMEAL Muffins.

These are my favorites. They are really good and serve 2 purposes--one, you get your protein, carb and fruit all in one serving. 2, they are easy to keep and great on the go. 3, you can make a huge batch and freeze them for when you will need them. Yum!

• 12 egg whites
• 3 1/2 cups quick cooking oatmeal
• 15 packets Splenda
• 2 Tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp vanilla
  
• 1/2 cup unsweetened chunky applesauce
• 1/2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 360*.
Beat egg whites until frothy, but not stiff. Fold in the rest of the ingredients, mix.
Divide with 1/3 measuring cup into a 12 pc. muffin pan lined with paper muffin cups.
Sprinkle tops with Splenda and cinnamon. Bake for 15 min. Divide 2 per ziploc bag, freeze as needed.
