So, my friend and I that I have not seen in a while are going to lunch today & she suggested Lollicup. I didn't realize they had food. She said mostly crepes.

Portion control idea.
I was watching tv, and a mom on the tv show mentioned a neat way to keep up with portion control. When she would buy a box of Cheez Its (or whichever snacky food), she would portion out the entire box and put the small portion into Ziploc baggies, and put them in her pantry. That way, it's easy to just grab a bag on your…
