A Sweet Ending

To end a long and hard week of school, I decided to make a delicious dessert recipe.  I chose to make a low calorie vanilla cupcake with rasberry frosting.  This cupcake contains a mere 79.6 calories, whereas the typical cupcake has 179!  Thats 100 calories less.  This recipe uses egg whites, salt, honey, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, whole wheat flour, baking powder, low-fat cream cheese, and fresh rasberries.  This cupcake is the perfect ending to any meal, especially a party or game-day meal.  They are extremely easy to eat when on the go because they are small and simple to eat and make.  I recommend this recipe to everyone!

After researching for several weeks, I have learned that greek yogurt is a healthy ingredient to incorporate into cooking.  It is extremely low in calories, and extremely high in protein.  I am going to continue looking for recipes in that I can use greek yogurt to lower the calories and increase the nutrients and protein.

This weekend I am going to research and relax.  It has been a very busy week, and next week I will continue cooking new recipes to add to my final cookbook!

RANDOM FACT: Eighteen ounces of an average Cola drink contain as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.
