No Pudge Brownie Bites

This recipe is so simple, but so yummy.  I was first introduced to NP Brownies from my friend K and fell in love with them. The box directions make 12 servings and are 120 cal per serving.  But I wanted to spice these up a little and make them easier to eat.  So I came up the the mini muffin brownies and added the orange extract to add an extra flavor in there.  You can use any kind of extract to your taste, but orange and chocolate just go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly....:)  I hope you enjoy!

No Pudge Brownie Mix (so far I have only found this at Winn Dixie in the cake mix aisle)
2/3 cup of Nonfat vanilla yogurt
1 tsp orange extract
36 mini muffin cups
mini muffin tin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix together the Mix, yogurt, and extract.  Spoon mixture into mini muffin cups.  (you might want to spray the muffin cups).  Put in preheated oven for 15 mins.  Take out and repeat until all 36 muffins are made.  Once cooled, store in a ziplock and enjoy.   40 calories per bite. :)

Spicy Southwestern Breakfast Burrito

I came up with the recipe one day while having a craving for Sonics Spicy Southwestern Breakfast Burrito.  With trying to eat healthier and lose weight, I decided I would try and mock the recipe.  So I got in the kitchen and came up with an idea.  It turned out really good and helped that craving.  To me, it's just like Sonics but way less in Calories, fat, etc.
