Too good too be true (WW Cake Recipe)

Cleaning out the filing cabinet, I found this recipe. It was in a notebook circa 2003. First of all, let me say that I do not remember this recipe. So, I don't know if it's too good to be true or not. The paper does look as if I used it at least once in the kitchen. Perhaps I will try it again. 

Here is the recipe: 

1 yellow butter recipe cake mix

6 oz. very vanilla low-fat yogurt

2 eggs or egg substitute

1/4 c. unsweetened apple sauce

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 c. melted butter

Mix together all ingredients and pour into a greased and floured 9"x13" cake pan.

Then, stir together:

2 eggs or egg substitute

1/2 tsp. vinegar

1 lb. powdered sugar

16 oz. fat free cream cheese

1 tsp. vanilla

Pour this mixture over the cake batter. Bake at 325 degrees for 35-45 min. or until it bubbles in the center and it begins to brown.

Top with sliced fruit of your choice. Makes 12 servings.

The points calculated on the notebook paper are not valid under the current WW points plan. As they were calculated under the old system. 

Bon appétit! 

Summer Oatmeal

So it's warmer, and you don't want to eat hot oatmeal for breakfast? 

Try this: 

The night before mix together: 
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. yogurt
and the toppings of your choice


Let sit in the refrigerator overnight. Ready to go the next morning, and it's cool and refreshing. 


For toppings, I like brown sugar and grapes or honey and almond.  You could really put anything in it! You can sweeten it to your liking. You can exchange the milk and yogurt for non-dairy options. You can use Greek yogurt or flavored yogurt. 

Yogurt

Some quick ideas for yogurt:

My favorite yogurt! :) Yummy! So many possibilities.

Layer yogurt and vanilla wafers. Top with a dollop of lemon curd. You can eat it
immediately, or you can store in the refrigerator until the cookies soften slightly.
Tastes like a decadent dessert. If you measure your ingredients judiciously, you will
have control over the calories you are using. Don't want cookies? It's great with just a
teaspoon of lemon curd. 

Top with your favorite granola. I like to place fruit in a bowl, top with
yogurt, then granola on top. 

More ideas:

• Plain yogurt with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of granola
• Summer oatmeal: Basically, combine equal parts oatmeal, yogurt, milk. Let set in refrigerator overnight. Serve cold. Top with fruit. 
• Try with a dollop of Nutella
• Try crushed up cookies, graham crackers
• Add lime curd
• Add chocolate chips or crushed candy
• Use banana and vanilla wafers for a banana pudding type experience. 
• Stir in fruit pie filling
• Add unsweetened apple sauce (another favorite of mine)
• Add a chopped up apple.
• Stir in apple butter

I'm looking forward to your comments. What do you add to your yogurt?
