Skinny Mac & Cheese Muffins
Diets almost never include the yums of mac & cheese, so I am SO happy to have found such a good-looking healthy recipe!
Also, I feel like I’ve been posting a lot of dessert recipes (and there are so many more to come that I have saved to my desktop), so I’m trying to balance it out with a delicious meal/appetizer recipe
Ingredients:
4 c cooked whole wheat or high fiber macaroni
1 T butter
1 T flour
1 c skim milk
1 garlic clove, minced
3 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
3 oz Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 egg
1 egg white
1 (10 oz) package of frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, drained and patted dry (or you could use 1 cup cooked fresh spinach)
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 400. Lightly mist a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a small sauce pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, mixing it into the butter until thick. Stir in the milk and garlic and raise the temp to bring the mixture to just under a boil. Add the cheese and whisk mixture together until thoroughly combined into a cheese sauce.
3. Remove the cheese sauce from heat and then mix in the egg and egg white (binding agents) until combined.
4. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, spinach, cheese sauce, salt and pepper and mix together. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cups of your prepared muffin tin.
5. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tops slightly brown. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from muffin tin.

Inside-Out Chocolate Pumpkin Cookies | Original Recipe
3/4 cup white-ww flour (or white or spelt)
6 tbsp plus 1 tsp cocoa powder
scant 1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp maple syrup or agave
3 tbsp milk of choice
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 tbsp plus 2 tsp vegetable oil
3 tbsp pureed pumpkin
3 tbsp nut butter of choice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 packet stevia (or 1/2 tablespoon sugar)
1/8 tsp pure vanilla extractCombine first 5 ingredients, and mix very well. Add ingredients 6-9 and mix again to form dough. In a separate bowl, combine all other ingredients to make the filling. Using about a heaping tablespoon of dough, roll into a ball and then flatten. Place a little scoop of the filling in the center and fold up the sides of the dough. Form into a ball. (The sides might crack a little, but that’s ok. They don’t need to be perfect.) Bake at 330 F (preheated) for around 10 minutes. They should be a little undercooked when you take them out. Let stand 10 minutes… if you can wait that long!My thoughts: I love these cookies. SOOO MUCH. Vegan or not these are possibly some of the richest, most delicious cookies I have ever eaten. In fact, most of the time, the dough doesn’t even make it into the oven (gotta love vegan baking). These can be a bit difficult to roll out in order to fill, but looks don’t count, right? Do yourself a favour, and make these!

Milk Tea with Tapioca Pearl Ice Pops Recipe
You will need freezer pop molds for this recipe. If yours don’t come with sticks that attach securely, buy wooden sticks.
Ingredients:
For the tapioca pearls:
- 3 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup black tapioca pearls
- 2 ounces Chinese brown sugar, broken into coarse 2-inch pieces
For the milk tea base:
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 6 Chinese black tea bags
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (about 10 ounces)
Instructions:
For the tapioca pearls:
1. Bring 3 cups of the water to a boil in a small saucepan with a tightfitting lid over medium-high heat. Add the tapioca pearls, stir, and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue to rapidly simmer until the pearls are swelled and soft all the way through, about 20 minutes.2. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain the pearls in a colander, rinse with cold water until cooled, and drain thoroughly. Transfer the pearls to a small heatproof bowl.3. Place the remaining 1/2 cup water in a small, clean saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the brown sugar, reduce the heat to medium low, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the sugar syrup over the reserved tapioca pearls, stir to combine, and let sit until the mixture cools to room temperature, about 15 minutes.For the milk tea base:
1. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat in a small saucepan with a tightfitting lid. Add the tea bags, stir to combine, and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 5 minutes.2. Remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags,pressing the extra liquid from the bags back into the pan, and discard the tea bags. Add the condensed milk and whisk until evenly combined.To assemble the ice pops:
1. Using a slotted spoon, remove 1/3 cup of the pearls from the syrup and divide them among the pop molds. Fill the molds halfway with the milk tea base. Freeze until the pops are almost solid, about 2 hours. Meanwhile, set the remaining pearls aside in the syrup at room temperature. Place the remaining milk tea base in the refrigerator.2. After 2 hours, drain the remaining tapioca pearls and divide them among the molds. Top with the remaining milk tea base. Insert the sticks and freeze until solid, at least 6 hours.
