Strawberry Sprite Cake, LOW FAT

This cake is sooooo easy. I totally stole the idea from Angela's blog. She said it was a Weight Watchers recipe so it instantly caught my eye as I'm trying to lose 15 pounds.

Ingredients:

Strawberry Cake Mix

Sprite or Sprite Zero

Sugar Free or Fat Free Cool Whip, thawed

Strawberries

Directions:

1. Mix together 12 ounces of Sprite Zero and the cake mix. DO NOT add the eggs and oil. Literally just the mix and sprite zero. It will be slightly lumpy. And don't ya'll use that whole thing of Sprite Zero in the picture. I just measured out my 12 ounces :)

2. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until done. The cake will not rise and it will be a little sticky. It's okay because it's still delish!

3. Let cool

4. Enjoy with cool whip and strawberries on top. It's like a strawberry version of angel food cake. YUM!

Fresh Homemade Applesauce

I LOVE FALL!!! I bought a big bag of Empire apples at Fairmount Orchard on Signal Mountain this week and wanted to make Lauren some yummy applesauce :) Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Apples - I used around 12 small Empire apples

Water

Sugar - 1/4 cup

Cinnamon - Optional

1. Core apples. Cute into chunky pieces and place in a crock pot.
2. Cover 1/2 of the apples with water. It's important not to cover the apples or they will turn out super watery. You can always add water later if you need to.

3. Cover apples with 1/4 cup of sugar

4. Add as much cinnamon as you would like
5. Cover and cook on low heat 3-4 hours. Just check on them during the cooking process to see how soft they are getting.
6. When they get soft, just mash them up to the consistency that you like. Serve warm or cold....yummmm!
