Good morning. Did you do the Halloween thing last night?
We did.
It was so much fun. The boys sported their “workout shoes” (Reebok Mini Real Flex Transition 2.0 shoes) to make sure their feet could handle all the walking.
We actually went trick-or-treating with a big family group, but the boys didn’t cooperate for the picture. Go figure.
Who knows where Joaquin was.
I almost skipped out on trying to write a post this morning because I have a million other things to do. Not to mention I’m recovering a bit from a few too many stolen candies from the boys. I told myself I was just going to have one, but that turned into way too many and I’m feeling it today for sure. Darn candy.
I’m welcoming a new month and a new start big time right now. Since October was whirlwind and I never really got to focus on some personal goals, etc. THIS is the month. I’m not traveling and not racing except for a little race next weekend so it’s time to buckle down, focus on clean eating and make some Mezamashii Mommyhood Project goals.
More on that later. I’m sure you’re just here to see who won the shirts.
I used Random.org to choose the Reebok Get After It Tee winners.
The winners are:
#129 Melody
#15 Kristin Miller
#103 Caitlin
#31 Jill
Congrats ladies. Unfortunately, I only have two female tees and two male tees. First come first serve. Email me (kristin@stuftfitness.com) your information and I’ll get the shirts out to you! Woo hoo!
Okay, so I really want everyone to feel like a winner today, so I should share my new microwave muffin recipe. I’m really focusing on a few dietary changes this month. Not just for me, but for the family a bit too. We’ve been so busy and have all been eating too much packaged food. It is not good. I can’t tell you how many Costco animal cookies I’ve eating in the past two weeks. Those things are dangerous!
Anyhoo….
I saw a version of this microwave muffin recipe somewhere online the other day and of course I had to play with it a bit.
It’s paleo friendly, doesn’t have any added sugar or sugar substitute, is easy to throw together and is just a winner all around.
STUFT Coco Almond Microwave Muffin
serves one
2 tablespoons almond flour (15g)
2 tablespoons coconut flour (14g)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/3 cup egg whites or one whole egg
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1-2 teaspoons coconut oil (melted)
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice (optional)
Combine all dry ingredients. Add in wet ingredients (Make sure to melt the coconut oil first before adding it in.)
Pour into microwave safe mug sprayed with nonstick spray.
Microwave for 3 minutes.
Yes. It’s that easy.
It’s also that delicious, even just by itself.
You don’t need to add anything, but I’m sure it would be great with a little cinnamon or almond extract added in. It would also be great topped with nut butter, but I haven’t tried that yet. So many things to do to this little gem.
I just ate one this morning again with my breakfast.
In the bowl: spinach, one egg, 1/2 cup egg whites (seasoned with Trader Joe’s Everyday Seasoning and Bagel Spice) topped with just a little crushed red pepper, Cholula and nutritional yeast.
See you later alligator! Enjoy your Thursday.
Did anyone else indulge a little in Halloween candy last night? I hope I’m not the only one not feeling too hot to trot this morning.
Just a little red pepper?! haha. And um, yes please! I am definitely making this muffin, I just need to get some applesauce!
I have a red pepper problem……
Kristin! That muffin looks like a clean winner! Can’t wait to try this one! Thanks!
The boys are so adorable! That muffin looks extremely good, I think I’m going to have to buckle down and buy coconut oil so I can try this and a billion other recipes I’ve come across. Don’t feel too bad, I had one too many Halloween treats last night too. I was paying for it on my run this morning. Oh well, it comes once a year, right?
Allie- yes you need to get your hands on some coconut oil like NOW!
So, is it like a sweet muffin or a roll? Sounds good to me! You know I’m loving the quick microwave treats these days! Easy, quick and delicious!
I feel like it’s a cross between a muffin and a biscuit kind of. A little sweet, but nutty with the almond flour. I really like it.
I know, anything easy and quick, right?
I never tire seeing all your red pepper. I’d explode.
Either do I. Just kidding.
Perfect timing- my daughter is needing a new muffin to eat since we eat your chocolate/pumpkin ones almost everyday! She eats hers for breakfast! Can’t wait to try this one~ thanks so much!
Let me know if your daughter approves.
You just made me so stinkin happy. Making this the second I’m home from this math class!!
Please do.
I just whipped up a cookie you might want too. I’ll have to pass it along.
I’m excited to try out that muffin!
I had a few pieces of candy last night too. Oh well! It’s probably 1 of 2 days of the year I eat that kind of stuff (Easter too : )
I know, right? You have to enjoy the holiday.
The boys are too cute in their costumes!!! I’m so glad this muffin doesn’t have pumpkin. I’m already too orange!
Ha. well, I’m sure you could sub in pumpkin for the applesauce if you want to keep your orange glow.
OH MY GOODNESS, HOWWWW do you eat that much red pepper flakes, I would die.
Emily- I have no idea. It’s a problem.
Read this post… had all the ingredients for the muffin so I swiftly leaped off the couch to make it… currently eating it and it’s HUGE and GENIUS!!! Thank you for this little delight!!!
Yay Andrea!!! So glad you tried it and liked it. Doesn’t it just smell good too?
I think I am going to try your muffin recipe tomorrow morning! It looks so good! We have WAY too much candy leftover at our house, it is too tempting!
We’re selling our candy to the dentist tomorrow.
I had to hide it from the boys and myself. LOL.
a big thanks for the muffin recipe!! can’t wait to make her!
Anytime. I’m going to make one right now to save for dessert later.
Mine might be “him” though. Ha ha.
