Thanks for the tips everyone.

I stopped at a store on my way home from church today and found some baked cheddar tortilla chips from Quaker. They are 15 chips (like dorito size) for 130 calories.....I'll try some of your ideas too!

mandalin- where do you get those?

PS. recipe for salsa please! I'm 18, about to move into my first flat and looking for recipe ideas :)

I'm pretty sure celery is probably the main dish for every meal in ****. LOL

I just put in a medium sized tomato, half of a hot pepper, a little bit of onion. Put it in a blender or chopper (I have a magic bullet)...salt, pepper and a little bit of garlic powder. It really depends on your taste. You could also add pineapple, mango or some other fruit if you like that type of salsa.

It was really watery but after I put it in the fridge for a couple of hours, it thickened nicely.

I use veggies as well, but if the veggies aren't doing it for me and I need more crunch sometimes I use the lightly salted rice cakes. 35 calories each and one or two is usually enough!

I usually buy a tube of polenta (corn meal mush) and slice it into very, very thin discs, sprinke with seasonings and bake them. They get SO crispy, just like a chip.

Thin slices of raw yellow summer squash is a staple for me and salsa. It grows like a weed in my garden and I pick them small so the seeds are pretty much non-existent. Sliced zucchini is good too, but for some reason I prefer the yellow squash better.

I also roast yellow & zucchini summer squash in a giant sheet cake pan (sprayed with olive oil cooking spray) with fresh garlic, cilantro, a mix of seeded sliced peppers (bell, banana & jalapeno), onion, chopped fresh tomatoes and salt and pepper. I roast it for around an hour at 400 degree F, stirring a few times and until most of the water has cooked out of the veggies...and then top it with homemade salsa. (It's also good without salsa...and it's also delicious with cubed/skinned eggplant and cauliflower with fresh basil instead of cilantro.)
