Idea for food day....
 

So I might be starting Ph1 on the 1st, and we are having food day at work on the 2nd. I was thinking of making LF cheese crisps by cutting up cheese sticks and nuking until crispy. Then I want to create some kind of spread made out of 8 oz FF cream cheese and 4 oz LF sour cream, with either salsa or seasonings mixed in. Idea is to refrigerate, then pipe onto cheese crisps, and top with a black olive slice.

Thoughts?

Thanks girls!

I think that sounds delicious! Watch out for ho much you have, though...souled like it will be easy to over eat them!

Fortunately I have 20 people in my area right now, so they'll get eaten up. I worry that if I use salsa, it may not firm up as well. Then again, I'm not sure how much seasoning to use either. Just trying to make something that doesn't seem "diety." Ya know?

Ok maybe 4 oz salsa... I can always add seasonings to taste.....

Hummus always goes over great. You can bring pita for those not dieting and some cut veggies for yourself. Easy.

I made a yummy bean dip the other day. Sautee some garlic and spinach in olive oil. Blend that, some chopped roasted red pepper, and a can of refried beans in a blender our food processor until smooth. serve with cut up veggies or chips for those who can eat them..

I make a buffalo chicken dip that has been a huge dip around here. Mix shredded chicken with lf cream cheese and Frank's hot sauce to taste. Usually about 3-4 breasts to one block cream cheese, more or less, depending on how creamy you like it. We serve it warm with bread for the non SBers, or celery or cucumbers for myself and DH (when he can resist the siren song of bread) It's always been a huge hit, and no one has ever thought "diet". It has all the flavor of buffalo chicken wings, but not nearly as messy, or calorific.
