    well this is sort of new for me - fresh baby spinach.
    I have ate it on salads before but I am finding lots of uses for it. I even cook some in my scrambled eggs this morning to my dks disgust and found it very good!

    Laughing Cow Cheese. :love:

    Another member on here introduced me to it. I love the Light French Onion with Wheat Thins Fiber Selects.

    I refer to it as the ":laugh: moo" cheese.

    :wink:

    Oh good, I was thinking about starting a thread like this because this morning I had pancakes made with Fiber One pancake mix and they were very yummy! Three pancakes have 160 calories and 5 g of fiber.... pretty good! Another thing I have been using lately is Smucker's reduced sugar strawberry fruit spread (in a squeeze bottle) ... a tablespoon only has 20 calories and it doesn't have any artificial sweeteners (which I don't like much).

    I did not want to go grocery shopping so I did this instead...

    Took chicken breast and cubed them to bite size, put them in a skillet with some chopped onions, little olive oil, 1/2 cup corn (frozen or canned) and some cipoltle salt free seasoning. Cooked it up. For the kids I put it on a tortilla with some cheese and make a burrito with toppings...for me I put it on a bed of romaine lettuce and used salsa with only about enough light sour cream to make the salsa creamy looking, and used that as a dressing. It was sooo good. I'm addicted!!!!

    Anyway, I used no salt, so the only sodium is what is already in the ingredients. And the calories came to only 310 when I logged it all in.

    My low fat low cal version of GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE:

    1 can of green beans
    1/2 can of 98% fat free cream of chicken condensed soup
    1 tablespoon skim milk
    onion salt and pepper (to taste)

    this version has no fried onion (or regular but you could add un-fried)
    the onion salt gives it the added onion flavor without the calories!

    I was craving this after missing out on it for Christmas.

    My version only has 160 calories! And that's if you eat the whole thing if you ate only half you'd have a heaping side and 80 calories!!

    If you try it let me PM me and let me know what you think!

    Quinoa. Ok I tried it over a month ago but I still think it's great! It's a whole grain that's a good source of protein and fiber. It makes a quick and easy side dish. I love it with stir fry instead of rice.

    I'm enjoying the Curves chewy granola bars. I eat them as my morning snack at work. There's 100 calories, 4 grams of fibre and only 9 grams of sugar (I heard a while ago from an expert that you should aim for less than 10 grams of sugar per serving of whatever you're eating). And they're YUMMY!
