Foosball and calorie burning
So I am officially the Foosball queen. I play every night since my husband brought a foosball table home.

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:
