Today I had a huge cup of sugar snap peas. The kind that come in a little bag in the produce section of the grocery store. With a little cup of Wishbone Lite Ranch dressing. The dressing is 40 cal. in 2 TBS. Yummmm! Who would've thought a handful of veggies and little dab of Ranch (a little really did go plenty long enough) would be such a treat. I'm definitely heading back to Kroger for more sugar snap peas. :tongue:

Do you have NEW favorite foods to share?

    It is rather calorie dense, but...today I tried McDonald's new fruit and maple oatmeal. That stuff is GOOD! It is 290 calories, but it is yummy.

    I really enjoy health fruit smoothies. 1 cup of fat free or low fat yogurt (i prefer plain) with 1 cup all natural non sugar orange juice and then what ever I am craving in fruit (banana, strawberry, blueberry, pineapple..etc...fresh) blended together. I have it for breakfast because I make it the night before, freeze it so I can grab and go. (I am too lazy sometimes to make breakfast in the morning or give myself time lol) I never knew it could be so filling! :)

    I refuse to go to any fast food restaurant because I am trying to lose weight and don't want the temptation lol. I have cut out all fast food, all junk food, pops, juice (except in smoothies for breakfast), pastas and lots of stuff lol

    I am a big fan of whole wheat Ritz crackers with the Laughing Cow light cheese wedges (any flavor will do!). I also like apple slices with almond butter, or a low-fat string cheese with a pineapple cup. Oh, and I am now addicted to the No Pudge! brownies.....but that is a little bit more of a guilty pleasure! (not as guilty as regular brownies, though, lol)

    My snack list looks like this:

    Emerald Nuts 100 cal packs
    clementines
    Baby carrots
    apple slices
    Mini Babybel light cheese
    reduced fat string cheese
    100 cal packs pretzels
    1 serving of reduced fat wheat thins and a wedge of laughing cow light french onion cheese (or any of their other flavors)
    mini bags of microwave popcorn (some are 100 cal packs, some are a little more)
    Deli Flats bread toasted with a little butter spray and cinnamon sugar
    Kelloggs Fiber Plus caramel coconut fudge bars (taste like Girl Scout samoas)
    Grapes
    pretzels

    I've found dry roasted endamame at both Big Lots (strange, I know) and the health food section - near chips n stuff at Publix and Kroger.
