Great job Liz, Lori and Nikki! I did discover this week that turkey sausage, italian style, is really good. We had it for dinner one night this week, DS wanted italian sausage subs, and the entire family said they would have it again. Since it is so much better than regular sauage, I was happy.
My sister also shared a cupcake recipe with me:
DIET SODA CUPCAKE/CAKE
1 box cake mix...i chose pineapple cake mix
10 oz. diet soda...ginger ale was a great choice
2 lg. egg whites...slightly beaten
1/2 cup toasted nuts or dried fruit or coconut etc.......optional
frosting and toppings optional...great on thier own.
preheat oven according to mix
prepare cupcake tin or 9x13 pan (lightly spray or oil). i don't think cupcake papers will work well with this...use a tin or silicon cups.
blend all ingredients well-no lumps
bake according to box-mix or when tooth pick comes out clean
let cool completely before topping.

She made hers with a strawberry mix and ginger ale and topped it with sliced strawberries, hot fudge and lite whipped cream. Delish!
