Pear Salsa WW Points 1

My husband decided to make a lovely pork carnitas the other night and since I’m using Weight Watchers I thought it might be nice to make my own salsa to accompany it. We have lovely seckel pears from our CSA that needed to be eaten so I chose them for the salsa; and pear salsa was born. The beauty of this fresh salsa is that each serving is only 1 Weight Watchers point! I hope you enjoy this salsa and make it frequently while pears are in season.

Gluten Free Egg Nog Muffins featuring King Arthur Gluten Free Muffin Mix

I love egg nog and so do my children. But since two of them are not only gluten free but also dairy free having egg nog can be difficult. My husband was out doing our grocery shopping when he found So Delicious Coconut Milk Egg Nog and he knew I had to have it. Little did he know, I too had seen the Coconut Milk Egg Nog on my last trip, so now we have two quarts of it in the house. That is when I decided to try making Christmas Egg Nog Muffins. We love King Arthur Flour Gluten Free Muffin Mix and use it quite often, so I knew it would bake up beautifully even with a few tweaks here and there. I followed the instructions on the back of the box, simply substituting the So Delicious Coconut Milk Egg Nog for the regular milk it calls for and by adding in some Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. The kids loved them and I think they make a great addition to Christmas morning.
