Cheatin’ Never Felt So Good Sunday, November 25, 2007

A yummy seasonal treat that almost qualifies as guilt-free.  Hey, I think it’s actually fairly GOOD for you!

And it requires just the right of effort: 5 minutes in the grocery store, 5 minutes mixing.  20 minutes in the oven, and you have Pumpkin Spice cupcakes.

You might not even need to copy this down:

Ingredients:

15 oz.  can of pumpkin (not the pumpkin pie mix)
box of spice cake mix
2 eggs
1 cup of water

No oil, the pumpkin is so moist, you won’t miss it.  And I would tell you if you would.  I like have a fondness for full-fat foods, like triple cream cheese and dipping my french fries in either blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Anyhow, bake according to box directions.  I suggest you pop in Love Actually and enjoy your warm cupcakes (who obligingly disguise themselves as “pumpkin muffins") with whipped cream.  Because it would be a shame if it was entirely healthy.
