So are you tired of seeing things you can’t have and being told not to eat this or that?
Well, I found some recipes and made some stuff up that is delicious, healthy and tastes like it’s bad for you!
Ready?
Snacks:
For the Chocoholics!
Hazenut Fruit Dip!
1/2 c Hazenut Spread
1/2 c Light Whipped Topping
4oz Light or 1/3 fat Neufchatel cream cheese
Mix them all together! Dip pineapple, mandarin oranges, strawberries, grapes, raspberries any other fruit you can think of. Think ahead and put this dip into small ziploc containers and fruit in ziploc bags, travels great! Addicting!
Who doesn’t like chocolate and strawberries!!
“Pie” every afternoon??
Lowfat Yogurt+ 2 graham crackers=Pie. Switch up the flavors! Dip that cracker!
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars
This are very good! Easy and fast. You only need a small piece to be satisfied and they are made with whole wheat flour. My kids ate them. (I left the chocolate drizzle off).
Some options for the people that don’t like all the sweet snacks:
- Laughing Cow cheese with pretzels, pita chips or veggie sticks
- Hummus (Try it if you haven’t. The different flavors mask that “bean” taste.)
- Pretzels and tablespoon of peanut butter
- Apple and Peanut Butter (fools you into thinking you’re having a “caramel” apple)
Lunch/Dinner Ideas:
Just made this one last night, I really liked it!
Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo
As I have said before in the past I eat a lot of fish and salmon for lunch. I made a sauce the other day that I was shocked I came up with. Now it wasn’t rocket science but, I’m not usually creative to develop recipes, but I do know how to follow them! Here it is.
1 Tablespoon of Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon of Hoisin Sauce
1 Tablespoon of Agave Nectar
Whisk together and pour over cooked chicken, salmon or use as a dipping sauce for potstickers!
This one is kind of weekly dinner in our house:
I love adding in pork sausage or turkey sausage with regular hamburger. It’s cheaper and it stretches further!
Hope this gives you ideas. Follow me on Pinterest, that’s where most of them come from!
Thanks!
