Things to do on Super Bowl Sunday!

Because I really don't care who wins the Super Bowl, I thought I would see how many creative things I could accomplish today.  Some of the things that I've been thinking of doing are not very creative so I thought if I announced that I was going to be creative...I might get creative.

So far I've made breakfast, am working on making lunch, read the Sunday paper, made one trip upstairs with things that need to go upstairs, and took a shower.  Oh yes - I did 20 reps of a new exercise using one dumbbell.  I'm going to take another few trips upstairs to get some more exercise.  Doesn't satisfy my creative spirit so far.

I joined an online dieting program so I'm trying to change my eating patterns and get creative (!) with some new low cal/low fat recipes.  I'm making a recipe that I guess is an old Weight Watchers Chocolate Muffins recipe.  Mix one Devil's Food cake mix (without pudding) and a 15 oz. can of pumpkin.  Put in muffin liners and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  My oven isn't the most accurate so I just upped the temperature to 375 and I'm hoping that they will be done at 20 minutes.  Makes 24 muffins.  No eggs - no oil - just a couple handfuls of chocolate chips added to batter.  Very chocolaty and about 90 calories each.  The second batch turned out great and was done.  So you'll have to experiment with the temp in your oven.

Tomorrow morning I will bake the Pineapple Angel Food Cake (WW recipe).  Mix Betty Crocker Angel Food cake mix (one step mix) with a 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple with juice.  Put in a 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 for 35 - 40 min. or when cake pulls away from sides of pan...test with toothpick.  Top should be lightly browned.  Plain is wonderful but Lite Cool Whip or Redi Wip is more delish.  If you cut the cake in 12 pieces, 148 calories each.  Big birthday celebration with Curves Girls!

I have a large tote full of zippers left over from my craft shop days.  So when I saw the latest catalogs with all the zipper pins, I thought - WOW! - I already have the supplies!  Yay!  So here is my first completed pin...I have to work it a little more before I can say I really love it but I have so many wonderful colors for spring that it will be fun to work on more.

Well - the Super Bowl isn't even on yet and look how creative I've been!  Off to finish a couple more projects so I have something to show you in the next couple of days.

Hope your team wins!!!
