**Today we bought MGD 64 so that I could drink more since they are only one point a piece, and I have to say the other beer is so worth the 2 or 3 points a pop.  These suck.  They taste bad and they give no effect.  I have had six and just now feel like I have had 2 or 3 regular beers.  Oh well, maybe I just need to stop drinking all together.  I know that it isn't good for me, but I also know that now is going to be the only time in my life where I can drink and not have to worry about the kids judging me or watching me (since my husband and I don't yet have any).  Whatever....what do you all think?**

**So today I was able to find ice cream that is one point a 1/2 cup.  That is awesome because I have really wanted some.  The problem is that it is not that good.  I saw another one while I was at the store that would be worth the same so I think that I will get that one next time.  It is a breyers ice cream and I do love breyers so I will keep my fingers crossed.** 

Pumpkin Muffins

Pumpkin Muffins:
POINTS® Value: 3

Ingredients
 
 1 spray(s) cooking spray 
 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour 
 1 Tbsp baking powder 
 1 tsp table salt 
 1 tsp baking soda 
 1/2 tsp ground cloves 
 1 tsp ground cinnamon 
 1 tsp ground nutmeg 
  2/3 cup(s) unsweetened applesauce 
  1 cup(s) canned pumpkin  (or made yourself)
 2/3 cup(s) sugar 
  1/2 cup(s) fat-free egg substitute 
  2/3 cup(s) fat-free skim milk 

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a 12-hole muffin tin with cooking spray. Line with cupcake wrappers if desired. **You might need to spray the wrappers too because my first batch stuck to the paper and no one likes that right?**


Combine flour, baking powder, salt , baking soda, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large bowl.


Combine applesauce, pumpkin, sugar, egg substitute and milk in a medium bowl; mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.


Add applesauce mixture to flour mixture and mix until completely incorporated.


Pour batter into muffin tins so each hole is about 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Yields 1 muffin per serving.

**To start I was wondering if anyone knew what the nutritional value of edible arrangements chocolate covered strawberries and apples are.  I just had to make a guess when it came to the points because I couldn't find anything anywhere.  If you find it let me know!! And even if you can't find it here is a fun-to-know fact--If you friend Edible arrangements on facebook you can receive a free 6 piece chocolate dipped fruit.  Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/dofruit. 

Second...Today I made pumpkin muffins out of the pumpkins I had on the porch for Halloween and they were amazing!! You have to try this.  It is so cheap because more than likely you already have all the ingredients!! I have posted the recipe for the muffins so if you need to know how to make the puree out of your "porch pumpkins" feel free to email me and I can send you the link that I used.**
