image.jpgHere are the muffins - zucchini and pumpkin with two cheeses and chives

the recipe as follows....

Its from a yoga retreat website - I don't think I can post the link, but here's the recipe.... I just added chives and tasty cheese

thanks for the inspiration ladies.... I didn't even know where to start and I really appreciate the suggestions... I've also bought dried fruit and nuts, and some apples and bananas...a few naughty snacks too... But I've tried..... Not really dinner... And I suspect DH will want us to stop somewhere anyway.... But it's a start.... My new life of making healthy choices.... Not for me, but for the little blob inside... And whether or not he/she sticks around, I am changing things right now...
