I'd like to start a new feature on my blog, called Tasty Thursday, to share great recipes I've found this week. I would love it if you'd share some of your faves as well! You can put a link to the recipe or to your Pinterest pin, or just lay out the full recipe for us in the comments field! I hope everyone loves this feature and look forward to hearing your comments on it.
I've been trying to shed a few pounds recently and have found that it's pretty hard at my age to drop even 3 or 4 pounds without making major changes. Since I don't really have the motivation to make any life altering changes, and have under 10 pounds to lose, I thought I'd look at how I can make small daily changes that will make an impact over time. My biggest problem is snacking and dessert (shocker, right)!
I came upon this awesome recipe yesterday on a blog that uses only 2 ingredients to make delicious muffins or brownies! Click on the title to go to the original blog post where I found the recipes at.

I plan on making these pumpkin muffins this weekend using spice cake mix to give it an extra little zing. These don't use oil, eggs, or sugar. You just use your basic cake mix and add a can of pumpkin to it. These are also apparently really good for the Weight Watchers Points Plus program also!
