CELEBRATING OUR BLESSINGS! The Ulrichs

HAPPY HOLIDAYS: NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL

PUMPKIN SPICE MUFFINS

On Friday my co-worker walked in to hand me a muffin. As much as I love a little treat, I also know that you can't ALWAYS say "yes" to the extras in life...because soon you will have a little extra on you. Anyways, before I could say no, she told me the muffins were somewhat healthy. So I sad yes, and sure am glad that I did.

These muffins are 122 calories each & SO SIMPLE! A three ingredient recipe makes this the perfect fall treat!

Ingredients
1 Dry Cake Mix: Spice Cake
1 15 ox can Pumpkin
1 4 oz snack of applesauce

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

I can't wait to bring these to the office Monday!

Healthy Chocolate Muffins

These muffins are a hit for chocolate lovers! They are delicious and pretty healthy, 95 calories (except I used Reese chips...so it is probably a little bit more.) After making them, I left two out for the week & put the rest in the freezer to enjoy later!

3 egg whites 

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa 

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 tsp cream of tarter 

1/4 tsp. salt 

1 cup hot water 

1-1/2 tsp. baking powder 

1-1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup truvia baking blend (or baking stevia)

1/2 cup Reese chips (or you can use mini chips) 

Instructions 

1. Line a muffin pan with foil cupcake liner, or you can also spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. 

2. Heat oven to 350 degrees. 

3. Mix all of the ingredients together with mixer (except for the chips) 

4. Place mixture in cupcake liners. I filled mine about 3/4 the way full.

THOMAS FAMILY CHRISTMAS INFOGRAPHIC

I have quickly discovered that creating personalized cards comes with unknown rewards. I had the pleasure of design The Thomas Family christmas card. Katye was a senior in college when I was a freshman. Our common connection is our sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma. I loved working with Katye to create her design, but what I loved even more was the reminder of the special friendships Kappa has given me. Whether it is a best friend or someone who was three years senior to me & now a card customer, it means so much.

The icing on the cake was a thank you card from Katye..."You are so talented an I will be sure to use you again for upcoming events! Hope all is well, sister!"

ALL BECAUSE OF YOU: BOHANNON GROUP THANK YOU'S
