hungry to lose

For most of my life I was on a diet and I would lose only to gain it back!! I am settling into a lifestyle of making food choices that I can maintain for the rest of my life!! I am making daily decisions regarding eating healthy food that I can enjoy.  AND not feel deprived!! I am on the search for recipes that are easy to make and low in WW points!! Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Peanut Butter Banana Bread If you are searching on the internet for a banana bread recipe, it might be called salted caramel banana bread or another name.  The original recipe was 8 WW smart points for the whole thing. I made changes to the recipes I saw and this is my version: 3/4 cup Kodiak cakes crunch peanut butter 3 scoops Quest peanut butter protein powder 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg Mix these ingredients together.  (I put these 5 things in plastic bags to be ready to add the wet ingredients whenever I am ready to make this recipe.) 2 ½ - 3 bananas mashed (this measures to a heaping cup) 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup water Place in greased bundt pan and bake 375° for 30 minutes 12 WW smart points for the whole thing

I decided to start another blog to have a place to add recipes.  I chose 'hungry to lose' as the name of the blog because that is the name of the blog I had on WW in the old community several years ago.  The reason I had chosen that name was because all my life I have struggled with being hungry when I am trying to lose weight.  I don't have that problem so much now and I am not calling my eating a "diet to lose weight" but a way of healthy eating that I can maintain the rest of my life.
