77-Calorie Raspberry Fresca Cupcakes
These babies are DAMN tasty and only 77 calories each. And super duper simple to make. I popped a raspberry in each one, and it really helps cut the sweetness. - 1 box cherry chip cake mix - fresh raspberries - 1 can of fresca (or other diet soda) That's it.

I'm just wondering, because when I make bacon in the morning, I pour out most of the bacon fat and only keep a bit in my pan to cook my eggs with.
