I was recently contacted by the folks over at MyLifetime.com about checking out some brand new Cook Yourself Thin recipes.
Essentially what’s happening is every Monday, through December 14th, MyLifetime.com will release about 5 to 7 new recipes from the authors of the popular “Cook Yourself Thin” book series. These are exclusive recipes that cannot be found in the current book or the new one, “Cook Yourself Thin FASTER”— which hits shelves right before the New Year.
I’m a teeny bit late on getting this information out there, so they have already posted two weeks worth of recipes.
I wanted to make at least one of the recipes before posting, so last night I finally picked on to try out and I’m glad to say it was certainly successful. Obviously I had to start with a dessert. All for the good of the blog, right? bwahahaha.
I love baking so I chose the Toffee Bars. I would probably call these Toffee Cake Bars, just to be clear. I expected them to be more of a cookie bottom because of the name (it’s a bit of a bummer that they don’t offer photos of the food on the website), but they turned out more like a soft cake with toffee on top (sort of Blondie-like I guess). Either way, super yummy!
Only 134 calories per bar according to the website. What I really like is that it just makes a small pan (12 pieces) so no extras hanging around the house!
Of course, you should not be like me if you are indeed trying to cook yourself thin. I ate four of these the first night! Note to self: step away from the plate!
I plan to try one of the dinners this week and am looking forward to seeing what the new list of recipes is on Monday.
As a little incentive to check out MyLifetime.com there is a nice contest going on. When you visit the site, you will see there is a chance to win a copy of “Cook Yourself Thin FASTER”. Just go comment here with your favorite "Cook Yourself Thin" tip to win!
