The Dunwoody Crier published a 3 ingredient Pumpkin Spice Bread (or muffin) recipe a few weeks ago and it is too good not to share!
1 box Spice Cake Mix (I used Duncan Hines)
1 15oz can of Pumpkin
3/4 cup of water
Mix all ingredient together and either bake as 12 muffins or as a loaf at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
*4WW point per serving (serves 12)
Big surprise...I tried to find a way to reduce the points per serving. Although I haven't tried this yet, I think it will work.
1 box Pillsbury Reduced Sugar Yellow Cake Mix
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
[all of the above make the Spice Cake]
1 15oz can of pumpkin
3/4 cup of water
*3WW points per serving (serves 12)
So I can only state from the batter I ate how great the original recipe is, and really, so easy! But I did give the loaf to my grandmother and she said that it is great! It will make perfect housewarming gifts, teacher gifts, mailman gifts, etc. this upcoming fall and holiday season!

the start of a new blog
I recently decided that I wanted to start a blog. I struggled with the title (as I have gathered a lot of people do.) I sat on it for about a week before just making one, realizing that I can change it later if I wanted to. Although, it does seem appropriate with my new initials (JTW).
A little background on the name: While stopped at a Starbucks on the way to visit my husband's family over the summer I said, "oh JTDub (like BTDub)" in the middle of a story, since those would soon be my new initials. Heath and I both thought it was funny, and it stuck. Although it doesn't make much sense, it still gets a smile, and it seems to be spreading (slowly, admittedly) to some of our other friends.
Anyway, I'm on Twitter and, for the most part, do enjoy the 140 character limit of the tweets. I like that I can follow people that I don't talk to on a regular basis, and it's a nice interruption throughout the day when tweets pop up on Firefox. There are times though, that I wish I had more than 140 characters. A lot of my tweets have to do with new recipes I have tried or recipes I am looking for. I am a big believer of the Weight Watchers program and a big follower of Hungry Girl. I like to take recipes that I enjoy and make them healthier, because I don't believe that eating healthy has to mean eating tasteless food. While I started this blog without a set topic in mind, it does seem that a lot of it will be geared towards recipes and food. Also, it will probably hit on items around the house that I like or don't like, and things I want to try.
I've never been one to shy away from giving my opinion on something, so I can't imagine that I will stop now.
