Weight Wathchers Petit Fours

I haven't made a blog entry in some time, but I thought that this waas worth telling people about. For Christmas Ross gave me a Petit Fours Pan, yes it seems like an odd gift, but I actually asked for it. With the Oscars coming up we are planning to have a few friends over so I decided it was time to put my new pan to work. Thinking about our guests that are on weight watchers I also wanted to make a sweet treat that was low in points so I decided to try something new. If you are on weight watchers you may have heard of a recipe that uses a cake mix and a can of diet soda! Yes you read right. I decided I would try this in my Petit Fours pan, crazy I know but if it works it will be amazing. So as I said the recipe is just a cake mix and a can of diet soda. The pan directions said to use cooking spray and flour so I did that liberally. Then I filled each cup 3/4 full of batter. Place in a pre heated oven at 325 for 25 minutes or until they are starting to brown. Let cool, and then carefully remove from pan. The batch of batter made forty-eight petit fours so they only work out to one point each. So I wont feel bad dusting them with a little icing sugar, or you could do cinnamon or cocoa for no extra points. I just think this is a little wild. Hope you enjoy them. P.S. I also tried a chocolate batch, but didn't like the marks that flowering the pan left on the cake. So I tried just using a lot on non stick spray and they came out wonderfully

The Old Prune - Still a favorite

Last night we had the pleasure of dining at the "Old Prune." Although the restaurant is under new management we are pleased to say that our evening was as wonderful as ever. Ross was pleased to see a vegetarian option on the menu and even happier when he saw that it was risotto.
The whole experience at Old Prune is delectable. The service is impeccable and the food is divine and that is what makes this restaurant one of our favorites. If you are looking for a fine dining experience this is the place to find it.
