This recipe is simple.  It only has three ingredients, candy corn, peanut butter, and chocolate.  It tastes very similar to a real Butterfinger Bar.

I found the recipe here.  These came out flaky and delicious.  I think next time I would double dip with the chocolate but I was in a hurry.  I hope you try these.

If you want a soup that is creamy and comforting, than this soup is for you.  It is absolutely delicious.

Tomato Parmesan Soup

1 28oz can of diced tomatoes(with juice)
about a cup of carrots
about a cup of celery
about a cup of onions
1 tsp of dried oregano
1 tbs of dried basil
5 cups of water (you can use chicken broth instead of water and bouillon if you prefer)
5 chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 cup of flour
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup butter
16oz half and half
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Add all veggies, oregano, and basil to your soup pot
add chicken broth or water and bouillon
allow to simmer on stove till veggies are very soft(I usually do it for about 2 hours.)
melt butter in a skillet or pot
add flour, stir continually for 3-5 minutes
add half and half to the flour mixture, cook until thickened
add the half and half mixture slowly to the soup pot
stirring all the time you are adding the half and half
add the Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper
check and see if you need to add any additional seasonings
let it cook on low for about 10 minutes (make sure the heat does not get to high at this point)
Serve with a little extra Parmesan Cheese and Croutons. Enjoy
(If you want a totally smooth soup, you can put it in your blender a little at a time)

Cake Batter seems  a popular flavor lately.  To be honest, I think cake batter tastes soo much better than the actual cake.  When I was looking for a recipe to use for my daughter’s birthday dinner, I found this one from luvin in the oven.

These were perfect. They were easy. They were delicious. They melted in your mouth. They were NOT low carb. Sacrifices must be made for our children though.  I am hoping I have an excuse to make these again soon. If you make these be warned, You WILL want more than one.

Switching over to a reduced carbohydrate diet has been a real change in our house.  My husband and I both love bread, and pasta.  Before our switch we ate so many meals that had pasta in it.  One of our favorites is lasagna.  I tried the Zucchini Lasagna and it was good but it really wasn’t a substitute for lasagna.  In fact my husband said he didn’t even consider it lasagna.  Then I found the cupcake lasagna recipe on Pinterest.

I followed her recipe once. Then being the cooking rebel that I am, I made it my own way. I use whatever meat I have on hand. Sometimes it is sausage, hot, sweet, turkey, or pork. Sometimes it is ground beef, ground turkey or ground pork. Our favorite is hot Italian sausage. I mix my spices in with my ricotta. Garlic, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Then I add an egg to bind it all together. Take your won ton wrapper and lay it in your muffin pan. Add the ricotta mixture, meat, sauce, and a little mozzarella cheese. Then repeat. I bake it at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the edges of the won ton wrappers are browned. Let it cool for a couple of minutes. Then remove from the muffin trays and devour.

This tastes so close to real lasagna that my husband even calls it lasagna.
