Weight Watchers Heaven

I got this recipe from a wonderful woman at work named Carol. She took the WW recipe for cupcakes that were 1 point and added a little twist (see below). They were so good, she made a copy of the recipe for everyone at work. Two days later, we are still talking about them!
Since today was "my doctor's" birthday, I decided to make some and take them to work tomorrow. My house smells heavenly! And I can't believe they are so good for you! I mean low in points. :)

Here is the recipe:

1. 1 box of any flavor cake mix
2. 1 egg white
3. 8 oz of diet soda (diet coke or coke zero for chocolate and diet sprite for yellow/lemon cake)-I used Coke Zero.

Mix together all ingredients and cook on 350 degrees for 19-24 minutes.

**Here's the twist. If you don't mind 2 points, place a miniature Reese's peanut butter cup in the middle before baking. Soooo yummy!***

A busy, but fun day!

Today was a busy day. I spent the late morning and early afternoon at Piedmont Fayette Hospital with other nurses, NP's and doctors from our practice for the Healthy Heart Fair. We had a good turnout and hopefully provided some lifesaving, or at least life-improving, information for people.
Tonight was the first Mass and celebration for Deacon King's ordination. He is such an awesome man! I am so glad he is part of my church family. We are all blessed by his presence at St Matthews'. I have to say I really think I have the best church family in the world. Here are some pictures from the Heart Fair (I wish I had taken more pics) and tonight's celebration.

I spent last weekend in DC visiting one of my favorite people. Jennie and I have been friends for about 20 years. She was my first friend when I moved to GA. We have had some really good memories in PTC. Despite all of our distances over the years, we have always remained close. She is an amazing person and I am so very proud of her! I always love to visit her, but this weekend was all about Ella Elizabeth's (my namesake) 2nd birthday party. Here are some pictures from this weekend. She is a hoot! (FYI: The pictures are out of order, but you'll get the gist of it.)

This was fun! Trying to fit 26 balloons in a small car with 3 people in it.

So glad it was a short drive!
