In an effort to make food in schools healthier, some school districts have actually banned cupcakes at school birthday celebrations.

I always make them from scratch. There's like 5 ingredients. And you can put extra flavors in.

That's how I feel about most mixes.

The only mix I by is "Reduced Fat" Bisquick (no trans fat in it) but that is because I LOVE the spinach impossible pie :)

now THAT sounds good.... is it a recipe that someone who never turns her oven on could master? Do you think I could find that on line (I don't own cookbooks) I'd love to try that with my pancake loving daughter!


 

Yes. We. Did.

I don't think that was me. I did lose 30 pounds on weight watchers but I was not overweight. I weighed 150 pounds and 5'6". I went down to 120 pounds in 6 months. 120 is really too thin (if that could ever be-lol!) and I would like to lose 10 pounds now to be 125.

How am I missing the point when I don't allow my kids to have soda? Soda has double the amount of sugar than in a Capri Sun.

Because back in the day it was an issue and if the schools around here had forbidden cupcakes/birthday treats, it would have been cause for celebration, not complaints. Parents have more than adequate opportunities to serve their own kids cupcakes and arrange for age appropriate celebrations on their own time. There's no real need nor real function served by the classroom birthday/cupcake celebration.
