Aside from being on an emotional roller coaster from hell today, I had a decent day. Ate well. Got a good deal on a few things at the store. Girls behaved for the most part. I just couldn't keep my mind from worse case scenarioing everything. Instead of picking up a tub of ice cream or making an unhealthy dinner I decided to bake my stress away. I found a great recipe in my hungry girl book for marshmellow chocolate cupcakes. They dont looks the prettiest but with a set of little helping hands i wont complain!

Not TOTALLY healthy but WAY better then what I COULD be eating. I also think I am going to get up early and bake some banana bread. I love having my "comfort" food in a healthier way. Tomorrow I am going to gym again. But for now I am going to sit and watch some TV and eat a cupcake. Goodnight world!
They look good!! Your right, probably not as good as it could be, but way better than a normal cupcake with tons of sweet frosting. I am so very proud of you :) As for the melt down, it was gonna happen, but at least you dealt with it & powered thru like the strong woman I know you are :)
ReplyDeleteI know its hard when they are gone. Silly military. I honestly think it is harder on the wives. we should get paid for our suffering! I'm struggling now that my husband is home... his cooking is way too delicious. *sigh* I always wanted to marry a man who could cook... I got what I wanted but it does make it harder to push the plate away when I'm full. <3 you girl,and I would totally eat one of those cupcakes. :D
