You guys know how I feel about the Vitalicious folks. I’ve reviewed the Vitalicious VitaMixes and used them in a few Dessert Ideas including Surprise Chocolate Cherry Muffins, Chocolate Raspberry Brownies, and the Berry VitaMuffin Cake. Well, they shipped me some of their new corn muffin tops and they are delicious!
I popped mine in the toaster for a few minutes and had it as a snack yesterday. They reminded me of a product my Mom would buy us as kids. For the life of my I can’t remember what there are called but the were like flat round corn muffin tops (duh) that we would put the toaster. Sweet and just enough of that corn muffin texture.
So for all the folks looking for a light corn muffin for your corn muffin fix you are in luck! They are only 100 calories, 1 g of fat and 6 g of fiber! Translation, 1 teeny tiny point!
I’m planning a couple of dinner ideas using them, so keep an eye out! ;~)

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -

I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff.

I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

Hey Roni- really love your site! Couldn’t resist easing your brain- I think your childhood memory is of Thomas’ (english muffins) Toaster Corn Cakes!
I got my shipment Friday, but haven’t tried them yet. I’ve been looking for a great 1-point corn muffin ever since I started WW and I know these won’t disappoint.
My thought was that your childhood memory was Howard Johnsons Toaster Cakes
They look yummy. But, it’s 6 g fiber not carbs :)
Hi Roni,
I think “anonymous” @ 1:49am is right… Thomas’ used to make them. They also came in Blueberry and Banana Nut (I think). They were SO yummy! My mom used to buy them for breakfast all time when I was a kid and recently I have been searching for something similar. Thomas’ doesn’t make them anymore and I can’t find the vita tops anywhere near me, so I think I’ll have to resort to ordering online.
Do you really think they compare well to Thomas’?
Happy (Belated) Birthday!
Renee
Thats them! My mom has verified.
Renee – When I first took a bite the memory of them came right back. It was funny. They are thicker then the Thomas’ but, as far as I can remember, they have the same sweet flavor and texture.
My husband loves corn toasties, but he will only eat the “Freihofer Corn Toasties”…I don’t know if that’s a national brand or not…I recently bought the Thomas’ brand for him and he hated them…like I said, food snob. :oþ
Hey Roni – Do you know if the Corn VitaTops have any wheat or wheat flour in them. I know they say corn, but you never know with baked goods. I’m allergic to wheat and have been trying to find low cal/low fat/low point snacks and breakfast foods.
@Angela – Here ya go…
Water, Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Egg Whites, Corn Flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Erythritol, Soy Fiber, Natural Chicory Fiber (Inulin), Dried Honey, Corn Bran, Wheat Gluten, Lecithin, Tricalcium Phosphate, Leavening (Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Potassium Bicarbonate), fruitrim (grapejuice, brown rice syrup), Natural Flavor, Sea Salt, Xanthan Gum. vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, folic acid, iron, biotin, zinc. CONTAINS WHEAT, EGG, SOY.
I totally remember these from when I was a child! They had ones with blueberries also.. they were my favorite and I totally forgot about them!
I also love the corn muffin tops and remember eating Howard Johnson corn toasties when I was younger.
The recipe sounds great, but I don’t know what Corn Muffin Tops are? I know I don’t have the VitaTops in my area.
Click on the picture you can buy them online if you want.
I have been looking for Howard Johnson Corn Toasties in my supermarkets namely Publix, and seems they no longer are carrying the product. Where else do they sell these as well as the blueberry ones. Have been enjoying them for many years and wondering why they are no longer in the stores.
I just purchased the chocolate vita tops and had a terrible allergic reaction. My eyes are still swollen and my ears were itchy. Never had a reaction like this ever! Unfortunately, I thought they were delicious!
I woner what could have caused it?!
