As of last night, spaghetti squash! Wonderful alternative to pasta and you are able to eat a fairly large amount without taking in too many calories.

what is Quark?!?!?!? o.O

Soup - I love any soup. I also have a not so secret love of sriracha. Combine the two? Heaven.

kaplods, I keep forgetting to tell you that I tried this after you posted it elsewhere on the site and it is FABULOUS and is my dessert/snack almost every day now after dinner! I always use the chocolate fudge and a splash of almond milk, it's perfect! Thank you SO much!

My favorite "diet" food is Quinoa at the moment, I LOVE it! So filling, and I love the mouth feel of it, and the health benefits are great too. I like using it for tabouli!

Baked beans! Good anytime :-)

Nuts -- My favorite snack.

Grilled vegetables -- I use a marinade and then grill them on the George Foreman grill -- very good

Atkins Oatmeal Cinnamon Baked Square (some people have difficulty with sugar alcohols, but I don't)


Target's Chicken Caesar Salad

sushi
portobello mushrooms
tzatziki sauce
pico de gallo (though I don't eat it with tortilla chips anymore, just on taco salad)
oh! thats right! taco salad. OMG yum. Actually, I'm gonna make one now.

I'm not too sure about how many "diet" foods I eat...
But my regular diet consists of:
Fruits, veggies (running low. ICK!)
I love bean and veggie soup.
For desserts: I will try Kaplod's pudding cheesecake. Although as horrible as it sounds, I think I'll take the extra calories and use regular pudding. I'm not a huge fan of SF stuff.
Otherwise, I will have my homemade cookie if I want that or ice cream. I'm conscious of serving size and how many calories I have left to decide on dessert.
Or I have a glass of wine and a piece (or 2) of chocolate for dessert YUM!
For grains I try to do whole wheat or whole grain as much as possible.

Anyway.. I pretty much eat whatever I want as long as it fits within my plan. I eat healthy and I still get to enjoy treats. Quite a few recently and need to cut back, but I'm happy!

Love celery! Love all types of vegetables. With my current food life style, it is a good thing!

I love sriracha! I put it on everything. Seriously.

Low cal jelly in pretty glasses that I set fruit into, then a spoon full of fruit flavoured greek yogurt on the top. Pretty, sweet and tasty!

I love Kashi Chicken Florentine and would eat it no matter what. That and Natural Peanut Butter w/ Polner All Fruit Jelly (Strawberry) I love it on hot toast.

It's awful how much I use, but luckily the state's go-to Asian supermarket is down the street from me and I stock up with 5+ big bottles at a time. The cashiers always look at me funny, but I just say how much I love it.

When I was in early high school I used to make egg sandwiches and dip them in a 1/2 and 1/2 ketchup/sriracha mix. Yum!

This corn chowder recipe is so good, and that cookbook is worth buying. I switch out the heavy cream for evaporated skim milk.

Great ideas, all! Yay!!!!

Peanut butter for sure!
