    If you make a box of regular old betty crocker chocolate (or yellow) cake mix into 24 cupcakes and frost them with one tub of regular chocolate frosting each cupcake will be just about 200 calories. Healthy? No. But a real, live, actual cupcake? Yes. The problem for me lies in having 24 cupcakes (that's 4800 delicious chocolaty calories) lying around all seductive-like in my kitchen whispering sweet nothings to me all day long. I only make them when I can get the bulk of the cupcakes out of the house quickly.

    Now if you are not into boxed mixes here is a really nice recipe for chocolate cupcakes from cooking light magazine. I suck at baking and they came out great for me. I used Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips instead of the 70% chocolate because that's what I had on hand. At 150 calories a pop you might be able to afford real frosting!

    Double-Chocolate Cupcakes

    Ingredients
    * 1 cup all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces)
    * 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
    * 1 teaspoon baking soda
    * 1/8 teaspoon salt
    * 2/3 cup granulated sugar
    * 1/4 cup butter, softened
    * 1/2 cup egg substitute
    * 1 teaspoon vanilla
    * 1/2 cup 1% low-fat buttermilk
    * 1 1/4 ounces dark (70 percent cocoa) chocolate, finely chopped
    * 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

    Preparation

    Preheat oven to 350°.

    Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir with a whisk.

    Place granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well combined (about 3 minutes). Add egg substitute and vanilla, beating well. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to granulated sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Fold in chocolate. Spoon batter into 12 muffin cups lined with muffin cup liners. Bake at 350° for 18 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.

    Yield: 12

    I really love Pineapple Angel Food cake. You simply take a Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake Mix and add 1 can of crushed pineapple (in its on juice), gently blend with a rubber spatula and bake, that's it nothing else. A 9 X 13 pan cut into 15 pieces is how I make it. I top each piece with 2 Tbsp. light whipped cream for 151 calories

    This isn't really a recipe but it's a zero calorie fix and I love it!!! I just take a bottle of vitamin water zero Squeezed and pop it in the freezer. it's like a lemonade slushy and it has no calories no sugar no nothing. I can't drink the water straight for some reason cuz the truvia makes it seem way to sweet but when it's frozen I really like it. Odd but it works!

    I haven't personally made this yet, but my friend just sent me the recipe yesterday since she knew I was counting calories.

    Low-Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies

    INGREDIENTS:
    2 Tbsp stick butter or stick margarine, softened
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 Tbsp Light brown sugar
    1 egg white
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1/4 tsp baking soda
    1/8 tsp salt
    2 Tbsp cocoa powder
    ¼ cup + 1 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips

    PREPARATION:
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    1. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars together with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg white and vanilla and mix until well blended.
    2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder.
    3. Gradually add flour mixture to egg and sugar. Use a wooden spoon to work the dough together. Don't worry if the dough seems a little crumbly at first. Stir in chocolate chips.
    4. Drop cookie dough by the teaspoonful on to a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat if you have one.
    5. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

    One thing I like is to take an Activia Dessert Yogurt (Vanilla Bean) and freeze it. It's not exactly like ice cream, but I like it. I think it's 140 calories if I'm not mistaken. :smile:

    P.S. It comes out the freezer hard, so I nuke mine in the microwave for about 15 secs.

    I do this with all the flavors and types of yogurt. The berry flavors are just like sherbert. and it takes longer to eat then when it is soft.
