Lisa Lillien - Hungry Girl - Recipes and Survival Strategies for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place cabbage in a microwave-safe dish with 2 tablespoons of water and microwave for 3 minutes. Drain water and transfer cabbage to a large bowl.
Add all other ingredients to the bowl, except for the wrappers, and mix well. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Place two egg roll wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Evenly place 2 heaping spoonfuls of the veggie mixture (1/12th of the total mixture) onto each wrapper, in rows a little below the center of each square. Moisten all four edges of each wrapper with water by dabbing your fingers in water and going over the edges smoothly.
Fold the sides of each wrapper about three-quarters of an inch toward the middle to keep the mixture from falling out of the sides. Then roll the bottom of each wrapper up around the mixture and continue rolling until you reach the top. Seal the outside edge once more with a dab of water.
Repeat process with all other wrappers, making sure you have a clean, dry surface each time. Place all of the egg rolls onto a large baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray.
Lightly spray the tops of the egg rolls with nonstick spray. Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly and then cut each egg roll in half.

It may seem weird to use brownie mix to make faux fudge, but trust me — this recipe totally ROCKS!!!

2 tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter, at room temperature

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine pumpkin with the brownie mix in a large bowl and stir until smooth (batter will be very thick, but don't add anything else!).
Spray a square baking pan (9» Г- 9» works best) with nonstick spray and pour in the mixture. Spoon peanut butter on top and use a knife to swirl it around the top of the batter. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. (The batter will remain very thick and fudgy, and it should look undercooked.) Allow to cool.
Cover pan with foil and place pan in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Cut into 36 squares.
