I am so excited about this week's Top Two Tuesday! Since I'm trying to eat healthier (like a lot of people this time of year), I can't wait to see what everyone has suggested!
Top 2 Healthy Recipes and Snacks!
1. Angel Food Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 box Angel Food Cake Mix
1 20-oz. can crushed pineapple in pineapple juice (NOT Syrup!!!!!)
Mix ingredients together and fill cupcake pans 2/3 full. Bake according to directions on Angel Food box. Some people like to top with Cool Whip, but I think they are so good, they don't need anything!
These cupcakes are delicious! AND, they are only 1 point on Weight Watchers PointPlus! That's my kinda dessert!
2. Italian Chicken Pasta Toss

2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
