Better for your waistline FROSTING
I found something better to ice your cupcakes with instead of cream cheese or buttercream frosting. 1 c. greek yogurt 1/2 c. confectioners sugar (could probably sub with splenda or stevia) 1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract Said to be a little tangy but it's frosting that could top those 100 cal cupcakes!:happy:

Easy Cucumber Salad
This is a family recipe, but so very simple to make. It expands very easily (just multiply the ingredients), so I'm going to give the recipe for one cucumber. Salt is to taste, I recommend trying it without salt then adding it a little at a time until it brings out the flavor of the cucumbers. If you're on a low salt diet,…

Dry Rub Baked Chicken
Take one breast of chicken (what we call one, which is actually a half) and put in a ziploc bag with water, 1/4 cup vinegar, a tablespoon of brown sugar, and then whatever other seasonings you like.
