CUPCAKE DIET

Today my kids and I made lemon cupcakes!  I was in the mood to bake something and was leaning towards blueberry muffins since we still have a lot of fresh blueberries left from picking last week, but my son wanted cupcakes,  and surprisingly lemon.  I myself, like all cupcakes, well to be honest, I like almost all desserts, haha, but I thought for sure he would pick chocolate.  However, the lemon ones were delicious! We made regular size cupcakes and mini ones too, which was good for me, so I could eat a couple without feeling completely terrible!  I've been trying to eat healthier these last few weeks.  I wouldn't mind losing just a couple of pounds. 

So instead of cupcakes, I should be eating this:

Which don't get me wrong, I love fruits, but I do have a sweet tooth!  Goodness, dieting can be no fun!  What about you all?  Are any of you on any type of diet?  If so, what are your go to recipes? 

I'm really into nuts and seeds right now.

 My current favorite seeds right now are raw pumpkin seeds and my go to nuts are raw almonds and a little bit of walnuts too.  Pair nuts and seeds with a a little bit of dried fruit and it's super yummy! Although you really have to watch the sugar content on dried fruit.  Do you have a favorite healthy snack?  

Sharing Love and a New Template

So if you haven't noticed yet, The Hot Spot has a new look!  I'm sure those of you who are regular readers definitely noticed!  :)  I'm not sure yet if I'm going to keep it looking like this or if I will go back to the old way.  Let me know what you think, which some of you already have, and thank you for it!

 There are still a lot of quirks and different things needing to be editied on this new template, so bare with me, but I do hope you like it, at least in the mean while.  I like the picture with the three girls socailizing as the header.  That's what I want The Hot Spot to be, a place where all us girls can get together and chat and have fun! 

And I do want to mention that sometime over this past weekend and an amazing thing happened!!!  I reached 100 followers!  In fact I'm at 101!!  So it's pretty amazing!  I feel like it's a great milestone!  lol I know I may be cheesy, that's ok though, I hope this blog gets hundreds and hundreds more followers!  I will be pretty lucky if that happens!! :)  I want to thank all of you lovely ladies for following and supporting my blog!  It means the world to me!  If I could give each of you a cute little cupcake to share the love I would!!

Speaking of cupcakes, what's a good alternative to a cupcake?  I'm always, I mean always craving delicious cupcakes or pastries or other sweets, but I need a healthier option!!  Any ideas?  Something that may come close to satisfying my sweet tooth without eating poorly!!  

I hope you all are having a wonderful day!!
