    Home made "refried beans"

    I soak pinto beans all day, then cook them all night in the crock pot, then put them in the food processor with a little bouilion, water and cajun seasoning. it's a long process, so I do a lot and freeze it. Love love love it!!

    Maximuscle Promax Diet Bars... If I finish work and am STARVING I find it hard sometimes to find the motivation to work out... But one of these fills me up for a good 90 minute workout and stops me driving straight home :)

    im sure everyone knows about this but loveee Quinoa!

    Oddly, despite being vegetarian for roughly 25yrs, I only recently tried this amazing grain. Now I'm trying to squeeze it's protein packed yumminess into everything I can!

    Wasabi/spiced roasted nori! I just bought a big jar of it from amazon after discovering it at safeway last week! Im like "who needs potato chips!" Its only a calorie a sheet.

    I tried that. Wow. It definitely tasted like wasabi! Too much for me...

    Isn't that laughing cow cheese amazing? Aldi's carries a good generic version for a lot less $.

    Home made dressing- made blue cheese dressing today that is guilt free and very yummy.

    I also bought an Avocado to try - so far it's still sitting in my fridge - I'm not sure if I will like it :/

    OH MY GOODNESS YOU ARE MISSING OUT!!!

    I've always love avocados but since i'm not longer allowed dairy, eggs or soy I use it almost daily for things you would normally want dip or a spread on.

    OK, another one. Had to see what all the fuss was about with Quinoa. LOVE IT. Had cup of Quinoa with some chicken breast, a sliced quarter avocado to add some healthy fat and a few teaspoons of habanero salsa for flavor, really good healthy lunch!

    I love Shirataki noodles! It took a little while to get used to the texture, but I'm a little obssesed with them now. There were so many pasta dishes that I was missing out on before them! :)

    I'm obsessed with the chipotle laughing cow cheese. I use it in my egg much recipe for breakfast for a breakfast burrito. I also like to use it as a dip for a super pretzle.

    Cooked wheat berries added to salads. I've also heard of people mixing it into oatmeal, but haven't tried it myself yet.

    And raw brussels sprouts also added to salads. Yum!

    Quorn products - who knew I'd actually like non-meat protein? Also Food Should Taste Good chips (the olive ones are especially tasty). They have far less sodium than even most crackers and are very tasty. Sabra Hummus is good, too.

    Looked at those yesterday, looks delicious but kinda small and more sugar than I want to get in a small snack. But certainly KIND makes food with great wholesome ingredients. Be a nice snack during/after a long run or ride.

    I love Larabars, they only use unsweetened dried fruits and nuts so there are no added sugars, the apple pie is my favorite and the coconut cream pie is my dessert stand in!

    Cottage cheese with a little garlic salt and pita chips.

    Taziki sauce using low-fat greek yogurt on roasted chicken, grilled veggies, quinoa...my husband will put taziki on anything!

    Swai, very mild easy to prepare fish from Thailand. Wegman's started to carry 32 oz bags frozen and individually wrapped portions. And about as cheap as seafood gets these days, $5/lb

    Red lentils are awesome with quinoa.

    I am a sucker for going out for Indian food. I recently discovered a recipe for one of my favorite dishes, a spinach/chickpea curry, and to my surprise it was super simple to make and almost exclusively made of veggies (tomatoes, spinach, onion, chickpeas, etc.) and a little bit of yogurt to thicken it up. It's definitely something I feel good eating with a bit of rice -- all the satisfaction of the Indian food I crave, with the added satisfaction of knowing that only good things went into it. Yum!

    The other day I tried out a recipe I saw on an old season of BL and I remembered why I LOVED food. It was Rocco's Beef Tenderlion and Loaded Baked Yams. I don't eat red meat so I changed the steak with chicken and did a different sauce for it but I made the yams exactly as the recipe called for (odd for me I change everything) and it was so delicious. I've never like yams before I always thought they were too sweet or not sweet enough (depending on how it's made) but the balance of flavors is just right and all of it (steak included) comes to about 500 cals for the meal. I've had it 3 times since then. Super Yummy.

    KIND Healthy Grains Granola. I finally found a healthy granola that is not loaded with sugar. Many have 15 grams or more. KIND has only 6. It is also whole grain, low sodium, no trans fats, low saturated fat and 3g fiber per serving. Oh yeah, and it is crunchy and delicious!

    Also Gluten Free!

    I love Granola and most of the granola cereals are like you said loaded with sugar Thanks for the share/ tip : )
