Soul Food for the Flabby



Mmmm......nothing says "happy, happy, yum, yum" to me like two of my favorite things: Corn bread and onions. Combined together with some cheese? Low-cal heaven.


Ingredients


1-1/3 cups of chopped sweet onions

1 tablespoon of butter

1 can (8-1/4 ounces) cream-style corn

1 package (8-1/2 ounces) of corn bread/muffin mix

2 egg whites, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons fat-free milk

1/2 cup non-fat sour cream

1/3 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese


Directions


-In a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, saute onions in butter until tender; set aside.

-Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine corn, muffin mix, egg whites and milk. Pour into a 9 inch, square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine sour cream and onions. Spread over batter. Sprinkle with cheese.

-Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

-Makes 9 servings


When your boyfriend tells you he wants to marry you for cooking like this, you'll thank me. So will your tightest jeans that won't give you a muffin top after eating this.


Pretty Pretty





If you're over a size 14 and you're not completely obsessed by the gorgeous, drapey dresses of Rachel Pally's White Collection....you're probably either A. Wearing the same jeans with a faded acid wash you've had since 9th grade or B. Without a soul.


These dresses are made to hide the bad (hello, belly bloated from three years of no gym-time and this morning's chocolate chip muffin) and show off the good (thank you, Mom, for the perfectly perky C-cups). And God bless the dress that you can wear to the beach, dinner, or work. Paired with the perfect strappy sandle, and BAM....you're suddenly the voluptuous goddess you keep telling your boyfriend you are.


I'd like to send Rachel Pally a fruit basket. Or a hug. Or both.


Eat a Cookie Hall of Fame

Our first-ever inductee into the Eat a Cookie Hall of Fame....

The very talented, absurdly skinny Leann Rimes!


Little Miss Leann used to be so cute. Remember her? Cherubic cheeked and puppy-dog blue eyes. Bluuuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeee oooh ooooh oooooh oooh. Why can't you be blue over me too? Oh, Leann we are. We can see your ribs and it hurts.

Recently, while eating dinner in Chicago, Leann was approached by a fellow patron who suggested Leann need to eat. This enraged Leann, who let her anger fly via Twitter, the natural choice for airing your important, worthwhile grievances. Here at No One Likes a Skinny Girl, we commend this gentleman, although we think he'd have been better off sending her a plate of bread pudding and a wink.

Now, Leann is in a skinny-bitch-tizzy because fellow twig, Giuliana Rancic recently claimed that the person she'd most like to feed at her new restaurant is Ms. Rimes herself. We get the point, but gee, that's just bad business. Everyone knows Leann isn't going to buy a single plate of pasta from you.

Which brings us to our second-ever inductee into the Eat a Cookie Hall of Fame:

The dependably under-weight Giuliana Rancic!



Dearest Giuls, we're not fooled by this "restaurant" you plan to open. I would never eat food selected by someone who probably eats kale like its a Frostee from Wendy's.

Mazel Tov to this week's inductees! Eat a Cookie! It's on us.
