This is in answer to Cyndi's questions about how I tweaked the mock cornbread recipe for my blueberry/cranberry coffee cake.

(Did you use the yogurt to replace the oil or in addition? Mix the berries in or on top? So far I've been putting my fruit on top. One last question - are you cooking it at 400? I've been experimenting with lower temps because the bottom burned when I made the apple cake. I think my oven is temperamental though. This recipe may be the greatest healthy treat ever)
__________________

I use applesauce instead of the oil in the recipe, and I added 1/4 cup of yogurt, too, and 1 tsp. vanilla and cinnamon. I stirred the blueberries and cranberries into the batter right before I poured it into a greased 9" round cake pan, and baked it at 400* for about 50 minutes. I will try baking it at 350* for an hour next time, though, as mine gets a bit overdone on the bottom and edges before the center is cooked.

Thanks Cottage Today I shared a piece with a coworker who has a very picky 3 year old. She was thrilled and can't wait to try it.

I think I am better off posting what I did eat rather than what I plan to, since nothing I plan ever seems to pan out. So, today was...

Phase 2
B- none- rushed morning- will try not to let this happen again
L- thin sliced ham and swiss cheese on an arnold WW sandwich thin, chick pea salad
S- apple with PB
D- spaghetti squash with veggie filled (mushrooms & green peppers) tomato sauce topped with mozzarella and parm. cheese. (This was SO good!) and a tossed salad
S- NSA fudgsicle
and I am hungry now so will figure my calories and see if I have room left for a snack...
