    I love this thread! I've gotten so many new ideas of things to make. My thing that I've "discovered" is Kashi pizza. It's the mushroom and spinach kind. 250 calories a serving and totally satisfies the pizza craving without the calorie overload. One serving is 1/3 of the pizza which is a pretty big slice! Yum!

    I just tried the Fresh Express - Sierra Crisp Herb salad mix and it is wayyyy yummy. Its great for a fijita salad. Very flavorful and when do you say that about a lettuce mix?

    Sango Sprouts - it's the first time I have seen anything that looked more inviting at the supermarket. Got 'em home and thought, now what? So, I grabbed a couple of Arnotts Cruskits and began to build my lunch...yup - I "build" every day and its fun coming up with new and enticing foods that are healthy and nutritious. I am hooked. So, I got out the Philly lite cheese blend and smeared on a lil bit, then I added some pastrami (1 slice cut in half), then I topped with some mashed and curried egg (with parsley and black pepper); then I put a swiss cheese slice cut in half over each of the cruskits, then I smeared a little hummus over the cheese and then grabbed a pinch or two of these sango sprouts and let them attach themselves to the hummus - well, I've never seen anything so delectable. A twist or two of black pepper over the whole lot and out in the sun I went to show off to my hubby that I am now a lunch builder! Don't ask me what kinda sprouts I am eating - but they are delish and I'm recommending them.

    **Skinny Cow Individual size 5.8 oz. Chocolate Fudge Brownie Lowfat Ice Cream
    ...nice because it's portion controlled even more more so than the boxes of frozen confections they sell. Decided I wanted a treat and picked one up. I think they run about $1 Delish!

    **Sweet Red Pepper (not a bell pepper), never tried one of these and have never seen them in the store, OMG, so yummy all on it's own!! I got one in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box this week.

    **Rediscovering the incredible taste of garden tomatoes and cukes...WOW, the garden ones have such a wonderful flavor.

    Winter is gonna be tough for me this year after all these awesome fresh veggies I've been getting, I'm getting spoiled! :sad:

    My friends introduced me to salsa chicken. Bake the chicken with salsa and a bit of cheddar. So easy and tasty!

    Found weight watchers cheese wedges yesterday next to the laughing cow cheese. Tried the jallapeno pepper one and it was tasty the only thing it isn't as spreadable as laughing cow but I love pepper cheese so I will take it.
