Economics Training on the Go!

Since homeschooling is a way of life, vacation is part of it! Recently, we went to Rifle, Colorado when it was blazing hot. We all wanted ice ream but we had less cash this trip.

Muffin in a Mug

A high fiber, low carb muffin

Muffin in a Mug (also called a MIM or Muffin in a Minute but I cook this one longer, lol) is a great treat when you are in a hurry, only have a microwave to cook, or need to add more fiber to your diet.   This is a very flexible recipe, having hundreds of variations.  After reading many of them on the Atkins forum, I decided to try some additions.   This is what I ended up with...

Cheese 'Crackers'

Half a carb per 4 crackers

Oatmeal Cake

This is a very versatile recipe which can be a dessert, snack, or breakfast.  It is very filling and can be eaten plain or in a bowl with milk.  Great warm or cold ...good road food too!  We made this for our trip to Colorado last year. 

Flax Muffins

Here is a great muffin recipe that is low carb and high fiber.
