This is a recipe I used in my WW days. Next time you make them, try this, fold in 3 egg whites beaten to stiff peaks. You will be amazed at how the egg whites increase the volume and make the muffins less dense. A really great snack for kids who need to watch the calories!

Celadon,
Did you put our recent talapia recipe in? I think it's a good one for the book.
Thanks for all of your work. You won't know what to do with yourself once it is out of your hands! LOL

Without getting too technical, there are copywrite issues when publishing recipes. If I know that a recipe isn't your original, I can't submit it. This recipe was actually one that came from a TV show so I can't add it.

The deadline is just the beginning for me Jeannie. Now I will have to edit and proof the recipes and all the other mundane things that go into getting it published. Look for your recipes when you order your copy. Most of them made the cut!

Celadon, is this cookbook going to be for sale or posted in the "kitchen" section of LAWLS?

smiles, like our current 'Neighborhood Cookbook' it will be published and for sale. We will keep you updated as to when it will be available.
