So far (I know it's only 8 days in to the New Year), I've been making really healthy choices and even exercising pretty consistently. But, tonight, the dreaded Friday who-cares-what-you-eat-it's-finally-the-weekend, brought me a pretty strong sweet tooth. So I found this Weight.Watchers Diet Coke Cake recipe. It was really difficult to make:
Mix 1 box of cake mix with 1 can of diet coke and bake as directed. Yep- no oil, no water, no eggs. Just the diet coke. I topped my slice with a spoonful of fat free cool.whip. And.........
IT'S DELICIOUS.
Woot!
I'm excited to share more of my healthy recipes, tips and tricks- as I learn them. :)

Sweet! Sounds disgusting but those are usually the best surprises!
Hey Ashley... Just another tip... the diet coke can be exchanged for ANY diet drink. If you like others, sometimes a diet sprite or diet root beer can make for extra taste. Give it a try! :)
I also made a recipe for my MOPS group one day that really surprised me...it is a WW recp. too. It is a can of drained pureed black beans and a box of brownie mix- They were great and everyone loved them. I didn't tell anyone what they were made from and people could tell they were different but had no idea it was BB. Such a pleasant surprise!
I'm excited for you to share your tips too! I am also trying a healthier me and I love cake so I Gotta try it :)
A similarly easy dessert -- 1 box of spice cake mix and 1 can of pumpkin. Use it to make cookies and bake 13-20 minutes (really depends on your oven). The cookies are very cakey, and the only slight negative is that they tend to get wet-looking after they've been stored. I haven't tried it as a cake, but I'm sure it's great that way, too!
Sounds kind of gross, but if you say it's good I might just have to try it. I love that it's simple.
that's interesting. Might have to try it.
Wow, that sounds yummy AND easy...can't wait to try it! Looking forward to more recipes, too!!
Ashley, I have read so many great books this past year on food. Master Your Metabloism by Jillian Michales will redifine your idea of "healthy eating". It is fabulous. I have never felt more alive! Another great book is, Raw Food Detox Diet by Natalia Rose. We don't eat all raw, nor are we vegitarians and she has great help for all types of eaters. But, make sure to take that info with a grain of salt!I like her ideas, but I had to learn to fit it in our lifestyle.
Not sure how I found your blog but it's great. I am totally trying this recipe.. thanks!
