This week when I told Charlie her dad was picking her up she cried, I told her she would have so much fun and I love her and I will miss her and she gets to see the big dogs... but nope, sobbed..didn't want me to leave. It's times like this that break my heart. I know it is for the best that I am happy and her dad is happy and she will grow up without fighting in a house and see what love is supposed to be like, but I am just wondering how often I have to tell myself that before I no longer feel guilt for the situation she didn't ask to be in. I am also wondering if this part will ever get easier?
Back when I was reminiscing about my college days, I posted a recipe before for a Protein Pumpkin Mug Cake and it was pretty popular. I decided that it's okay that cavemen didn't have microwaves because sometimes you just need a single serving of dessert that won't ruin your hard work you put in all week.
I posted this one on Facebook this week and it was one of the most popular things I have posted, so I made another (see below) This particular Pumpkin Pie Mug Cake came about because I had extra pumpkin to use up and it a perfect serving for 1.5 people (my peanut and me) Just takes two minutes in the microwave- cavemen had those, right? Hehe
Pumpkin Pie Mug Cake
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 egg
- 1 heaping tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tablespoon raw honey
(If it looks too dry add a small amount of milk)
1. Mix everything in a big coffee cup or mug
- 1 egg
- 1 heaping tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 Tablespoon raw honey
(If it looks too dry add a small amount of milk)
1. Mix everything in a big coffee cup or mug
2. Microwave 2-3 minutes until it is done - when it's done it starts pulling away from the sides... It'll be really hot so be careful! And enjoy!

This next one I thought of because I wanted another one and didn't have pumpkin. This is by far my favorite... I am in love and everything you probably have on hand!
