You know something Glory, you just gave me a good idea. I've been eating those darn Jello sugar free puddings for a snack. I see that you're eat veggies and a little dip as a snack. Not sure why I don't do that. I think I am going to give it a try. I'm soooo glad I posted here today, I never would have looked otherwise.

S: Apple
L: Tuna with pita, soup
S: raw veggies

S~tangelo
D~salad (romaine, taco seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, peppers, onions, tomatoes) with low cal chipotle lime dressing

Hey Robin, I actually pack the same vegetables for a snack every day and I am still not tired of it. On Sundays, I buy: little package of grape tomatoes, baby carrots (sometimes these last two weeks, depending on size), a package of ready to eat sugar snap peas (hate cutting off the stem-my bits) and 1 pepper (red orange or yellow, whatever is cheapest that day). On Sundays, I bag up vegetables for 5 days - I divide the tomatoes/sugar snap peas evenly between the 5 bags, slice up the pepper (each bag gets about 4 strips) and throw in enough carrots until the bag is nice and substantial.

Sometimes I use dip and sometimes I don't, the cafeteria downstairs has started giving away these little containers of dressing with salad so I have grabbed a few fat free ranch and I just keep them in the frig. I am also a huge huge fan of home made hummus, here's my recipe!

2 cans of chickpeas, drained, reserve liquid
splash of lemon juice
package of sun dried tomato (or maybe roasted peppers would be good?, whatever you want, really)
a little onion
garlic
1 tbs Olive oil (a little just makes the texture wonderfully creamy and it's a good fat!, I usually make enough for 6 days, so 1/6 tbs of oil per day doesn't seem bad to me)
Red pepper flakes (I love spicy things, I've also added chopped chile)

Put the chickpeas, lemon juice, sun dried tomato, onion, garlic, olive oil, spices in the food processor and pulse. Slowly add reserved liquid until hummus reaches desired consistency. Makes about 6 1/2 cup servings.

Oh I love hummus Glory. But I try to keep it to a teaspoon or so, remember I am still in the losing stages of this game. That recipe sounds delicious though. I do serve it every week with a vegetable platter for the family. I will absolutely, definitely be making it fresh now. Are those cans 15 ozs? I see that you use it for 6 days. So, I'm assuming it stays fresh for about a week?

I like cucumbers and red peppers and sugar snap peas.and baby carrots. I will definitely be having that as a snack. I use a set of kitchen scissors to snip off the ends of sugar snap peas and green beans as well. Really easy. It's a great kitchen tool. I also use it to make chicken cutlet strips and lots of other things as well.

Thanks for the recipe. I can't wait to make it.

Hummus isnt bad at all! 1 tbsp is only 30 calories! I just it with veggies or on a pita mmmmmm

Even when I was losing, my portion size for hummus was 1/2 cup (a teaspoon of hummus is enough for maybe 1 dip??). There are even fewer calories if you make it without oil (adding the reserved liquid really helps to get a creamy consistency without oil). I just buy the regular cans of chickpeas (I think they are 15 oz)? I haven't had any problem using the hummus for a week, I usually plan on 5 servings (Mon-Fri). The nice thing is you can add different things to it (sun dried tomatoes, roasted red pepper, black olives) to keep your family interested with different flavors.
