WW Wed.

Hello sweet cakes! How is your healthy eating going? I had a meltdown yesterday but kept a tight grip on reality. For some reason I just craved bad things- I went on a pizza kick around 9:30 a.m. I just wanted it! BUT thank goodness I didn't get any. Instead, I ate my boiled egg whites for breakfast. Around lunch time I was DYING for anything greasy and delicious! I passed an Arby's and longed for curly fries; I stopped to get gas and smiled as I looked into the store window and saw personal pan pizza's. I literally made myself get back into my car, drive back to the office, and heat up my Lean Cuisine meal. I am thinking maybe I should go get me a pizza today (one that I can calculate the points for) and satisfy my cravings before I go nuts and eat everything in sight. But until then, you should give this recipe a try. I know this doesn't sound too great, but believe me when I say ... it's splendid! The combination of these ingredients just make this taste that I can't describe. My Nana makes some every Christmas and it's light and wonderful.
