Working Girl likes Hungry Girl
May 12, 2010 By: almostgotit Category: recipe, recipesToday, Hungry Girl (aka Lisa Lillien) made over my recipe for rocky road fudge (an old family friend, remember, dearest sibs?) The original has 226 calories per tiny piece: the new version (made with — Ta Da! — pumpkin!) has only 73.
You can watch fun Hungry Girl videos on YouTube, too. She’s not an “all-natural” cook, which some complain about… but then, “all natural” can have just as many calories as any processed food. While she recommends eating fresh fruit and veggies, blah blah blah, what’s she’s really about is “okay, this is the real-world” substitutes (or even FAKES!) for things — often fatty, fast-food, highly-processed, YUMMY CRAVE IT NOW things. Her breakfast egg mug recipes are GREAT! Very fast, tasty, and practically no calories at all.
I like her product reviews, too. So what if she earns money for them? She certainly doesn’t pull punches when products are BAD!!
P.S. — down 20 lbs and counting! Yay, me!

Yes, yay you.
I have a pretty darn good pumpkin bar recipe–very low fat–that is great in the autumn. Let me know then I’ll send it.
Meanwhile, it’s almost fruit season. I gain weight every summer living in Seattle and I’m almost sure it’s the raspberries…..

Yay you, indeed! I certainly didn’t want to know that those tasty tidbits had 226 colories in them – they were mostly marshmallow! Love, sib#4

Woo-hoo! You won’t afford to eat anything soon, with all the clothes shopping you’ll need to do.
I’ve bookmarked the fudge recipe. Nice to see that Hungry Girl includes Points(R) values.
