First let me apologize for not posting an entry for last week. Ma loaned out the book that the recipe was in to a co-worker/friend and I still haven't recieved it back and I hunted for that recipe online and no luck in finding it. For now it's in the land of lost recipes. So we're moving onto this week's pick.
On Pinterest I came across this Weight Watchers recipe and it looked like something your blog mistress would make and lets be real cupcakes are too cute! Wait...cupcakes? Yes, blog readers I said cupcakes. They even have frosting. Now before you guys run for the hills these are no desert. Don't be afraid.
Here's what you'll need:

These are amazing! I love the perfect portion sizes and the "frosting" was extremely yummy.
Tid Bits:
*None tonight guys
Ma's Spot: Tonight's recipe was very good. It wasn't heavy or greasy. I have to say the mashed potato "frosting" was delicious! Good job Dinah, for finding this recipe. Lets face it, anything that looks like a cupcake in any way, shape, or form I'm for. I love the idea of putting the garlic into the boiling potatoes. Never done that before but it definitely enhances the flavor. I think it's a very cute dish to serve to children. Especially for a party. Easy to pick up and eat. The ingredients are items you already have in your house. So for a nice cute dinnerthat your kids can help you make I suggest you make this recipe and soon.
SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery
store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which
are not. Let's get to this week's pick:
WW points: *2 per package
Dinah: Tonight we bring you the latest from Dole. Banana Dippers are slices of frozen banana's dippped in dark chocolate. The thought of them alone is pretty great but the taste of these takes it to a whole new level. These are great in the morning for a quick breakfast or an afternoon delight. 2 points for 4 delish slices? Epic. Oh but be sure to keep them in your freezer. Mushy banana's and melty chocolate do not equal good times.
Ma: I love frozen fruit to begin with. Although I have never had frozen banana before. So if you're looking for a nice and nutrious treat that all ages will love these treats can't be beat. I'm not a big dark chocolate fan but I have to say poured ocer frozen banana's it is delicious. So try to find them it's worth the trip.
That's it folks, we'll see you here next Tuesday for more foodie goodness. Have a great week guys!
