Yesterday I called my friend Julie from Surprise to get a recipe for this AMAZING cake that I can eat on the Maker's Diet! I made cupcakes and I loved them. Let's just say they are already gone.
Here's what is in them:
1 and 1/4 C whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 Tbsp. molasses
1/4 C cocoa
1/2 C unsweetened applesauce
1 Tsp baking soda
1/2 Tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 C water
You bake all of that together at 325 in a 9x9 pan for 25 minutes (or in my case 15 minutes for cupcakes)
for the frosting:
pecans (I used walnuts because they're cheaper)
raisins (I used half dates and half raisins)
milk
(I also added honey)
you put in equal parts of each ingredient and blend in the blender and spread over cooled cake/cupcakes
I am a sweets girl and these cupcakes made my day yesterday. I have been on the Maker's diet for 12 weeks now and have lost 48 lbs. I still have 25 to lose to be at my goal weight. The weight is coming off slowly, but at least it's coming off! I have been walking on the treadmill everyday very slooooooooooowly. My c-section incision has been giving me a lot of pain lately so I've been trying to take it easy.
It's not all just about getting skinny again. I feel good about myself when I eat good things. I hate having "food guilt." On this diet, I give myself my 2 cheats a week and there is no guilt involved! It's great. Go Maker's Diet!!!!

I am soooo proud of you! I have food guilt every meal and snack to boot!
That is awesome. I would love to try that in...... 3 months. It is so true how much better you feel when you eat healthy. Being Pregnant.... all i want is pizza and truffles.
I am going to have to get your info after I have this last kid. I want to lose this weight and feel better about myself. I'm so jealous of you. I commend you for your patience and control.
This from the girl who used to eat a BOX of Cheez-it's for lunch everyday...
