Ok, I'm stressing out. Our department has "Food Friday" each week, and we all take turns bringing in a snack -- usually something that can be eaten in the morning (people don't like to wait..lol). Tomorrow is my day to bring in something!!! :ohwell: I'm trying to bring in something tasty and healthy, without blatantly forcing "diet food" down my coworkers' throats. Any suggestions???

These are awesome. My SIL made some and I plan on making these this weekend.
Chocolate Chip Muffins
1 boxed chocolate cake mix (I used sugar free)
1 small can of pumpkin puree 15 ounce
6 ounces of chocolate chips
**MAKES 48 mini cupcakes**
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Mix together cake mix and canned pumpkin. It is best to use a mixer for about 2 minutes on medium speed to get fluffier cupcakes.
Add in almost all of the 6 ounces of chocolate chips
Put in a muffin tin with liners. Batter is dense and does not rise much so these can be filled to the top.
Add a few tiny chips to the tops.
Bake for 22-25 min until a toothpick inserted comes out clean!

Cook chicken breast in a crock pot with buffalo sauce until it falls apart, stir in greek yogurt or Nuefchatel cheese (naturally lower in fat than cream cheese), and serve with celery and crackers as a buffalo chicken dip.0

You can't go wrong with a bowl of mixed fruit!0

Cooking isn't really something i'm good at, so if I were in your situation I would probably just bring in something like cheese/meat tray and then a fruit/veggie type tray.0

My favorite brunch item to bring:
Slice about 1 apple per person- i like to alternate granny smith and honey crisps--dip slice apples in pineapple juice so they dont turn brown
Mix nonfat vaniila flavored yogert with as much cinnamon as you like for a dip
Arrange apple slices on a platter, dip in the middle0 -

That sounds so good! As a matter of fact, that sounds like dinner tonight ...

Fruit salad is wonderful -- and most people will like it. To sweeten it up even more, you can drizzle just a tad of honey and squeeze a lime over it -- the lime juice and honey together are WONDERFUL.You can't go wrong with a bowl of mixed fruit!0 -

One of my favorite dinners is that, with a half a bag of pepper and onion stir fry mixed in, over oven baked waffle fries. Not a terribly healthy dinner, but sooooooo good!0 -

Great for breakfast, brunch, lunch etc. And if making for yourself, you can freeze them and they're reheated easily.
Healthy Spinache quiches - 12 servings
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
3/4 cup liquid egg substitute or I use like 2 whole eggs and 6 egg whites
3/4 cup low-fat cheese, shredded
1/4 cup green pepper, diced
1/4 cup onion, diced
3 drops hot pepper sauce (optional)
Optional: adding small amount of bacon or ham
Directions:
1 Preheat oven to 350°F.
2 Microwave spinach for 2 1/2 minutes on high. Drain excess liquid.
3 Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil baking cups. Spray the cups with cooking spray.
4 Combine the egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, and spinach in a bowl. Mix well.
5 Divide evenly among muffin cups.
6 Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Can be served at room temperature and still awesome. Perfect single servings. No slicing required!0 -
