I Think I Found the ONE!


I belong to a group called Spark People. It's a free service. I log in, put my fitness accomplishments on there and my daily intake log. It's a great site. Lots of information, articles, fitness information and motivational words. Oh, yes, and recipes.

That is where I found this beauty. Peanut Butter Muffins, can you believe it, a rich peanutty taste for only 134 calories per muffin. Oh, muffin, where have you been all my life? I am so glad I have found you. People I think my search for the perfect muffin is over. Between this and my oatmeal muffin, I am set.

    I am so glad you liked them Kat. So easy and tastey.

    Welcome Elle.

    Bunny-I checked out that one you talked about Bunny. It seems like a good one as well. Its nice that there are a bunch of free ones instead of just the WW, Biggest Loser and Bob Greene site taht use to be available.
