Take a spice cake mix and a 15 oz can of real pumpkin and combine. Pour into a cake pan or muffin tin(it will be really thick). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. I actually made muffins using chocolate cake mix and they are wonderful. They are so moist they almost fall apart. My boys play on MNF tonight. Go Titans!!! :cheer: Here is a really easy cake/muffin recipe that only had 2-3 WW points.

Couldn't resist the pun!! :D The holidays always make it so difficult if you are eating healthy and trying to loose weight. I choose to eat things you don't eat all the time such as dressing, turkey, gravy (something I rarely have), sweet potatoes/yams, and yes pumpkin pie! I love it, love it & only have it once or twice a year so I do indulge. :thankseat: I think part of the trick is to not over indulge in the second or third helping. Not an easy thing when it all tastes so good. :biteme: Seemed appropriate!!!! :lol: I will be cooking for my oldest grandson again & it is just the two of us. It seems I am leaning toward having fresh salmon or crab since it is crab season here in northern California. I just have to decide which one & plan the rest of the menu! He loves seafood as do I and his mom doesn't so we indulge!! I think salmon is probably a bit healthier than the big turkey dinner but I miss all that good stuff! Despite it being a somewhat weird combination I'm making pumpkin pie!! It is my favorite breakfast for the day after Thanksgiving, yummy! :Pilgrim: :fallleaf: :flag: Wow, congratulations to all the awesome WW losers! :cheer: That is losers in a very good weigh!!
