Civakas - I got the recipe from here. It is as follows:
Weight Watchers Black Bean Brownies
This might sound strange, but these brownies actually come out rich and fudgy. They are low fat, high in fiber and protein and no one would know there are beans in them. These brownies are only 2 pts each. A great way to eat dessert with out packing on the pounds!
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 20 servings • Time: Baking time varies • Points: 2 ww points
1 can (15 oz.) black beans
1 box brownie mix
Open can of beans, drain and rinse well. Put beans back in the can and fill can with water. Put beans and water in blender until smooth. Mix pureed beans with brownie package mix. DO NOT add eggs or oil. Spray baking dish with Pam. Cook brownies according to package directions. Cool and serve.
----------------------------------
My mom baked them yesterday while I was working. She said you def have to cook them longer than what the box calls for. I'm sure all ovens vary. She said she just kept adding on 8 minutes at a time. They are very flat (of course, no eggs). They aren't bad... but they aren't going to make me do a back flip either. My mom said when she ate one and it was warm she could taste the black beans, I could not after they had cooled. It almost tastes like a brownie that's been made with a sweetener vs. sugar, but it is JUST enough chocolate to be satisfying if that makes sense. Def not bad. Def a much better alternative than a regular batch. Also, I used a FUDGE brownie mix, I don't know if this makes a difference or not.
B - english muffin, PB, black raspberry jam

I am *crazy* excited to try and make some of those brownies... today has been an 'ok' day. I can't describe how mad I am that I missed breakfast again, I have to get back into my morning routine. I'm really really really going to try to get atleast an hour of exercise in tonight.

I need to fit in atleast another 200 calories.. IDEAS?
jumping in here. I've been struggling to get back on the wagon for awhile now. I need some accountability.
breakfast- mixed veg (tomato, mushroom, cucumber, baby greens) and vinaigerette dressing, small piece of baguette (we made dressing in french class today and had yummy veggies with it)
lunch snack- 98%ff bologna (25c for one slice, which is all i use) on 2 slices 40c wheat bread. I'll probably drop this down to one slice, folded over, because i eat this snack a lot.
lunch- veggie sub with mozzerella cheese, green salad, handful french fries
20 m&ms (68 calories of yum, if you can stop at 20. i have individual baggies)
snack- bologna sandwich, diet snapple peach tea
dinner- unsure, probably pick something small like a couple of tacos up on the way home from class, or if all else fails another bologna sandwich. haha.
I'm definitely going to try those brownies too. It would be nice to have some yummy baked goods around the house that I'm actually allowed to eat.

Christine and Munchie -- let me know how yours turn out and see what kind of results you guys had with a different batter.
I opted for the baked potato at lunch today. Luckily they thought to bring in Smart Balance so I only used a .5 T of that and 1T sour cream. The potatoes were kind of small (compared to the larger potato I had the other night). I also had some Spinach salad. Yum!
