Sweet Treats

I don't know about you but I have a major sweet tooth. I have tried to give up sweets but then I figure why deprive ourselves of things that we enjoy? Isn't that why we spend so much time working out and taking care of ourselves?

I have figured out that for me, portion control is the most important factor when it comes to sweets. If something is in a one portion container, the likely hood of me opening another is very slim. So here are a few of my favorites, some are already portioned out..some are not!

• Jello Sugar free Rice Pudding : This is new and is so good, I think I love it so much because my grandmother used to make a grapenut custard that it reminds me of.


• Jello Sugar free Dark Chocolate Pudding : So much better than the traditional chocolate pudding by Jello. The only drawback is that it can be tough to find.
  
• Crustless Pumpkin Pie: This is a great recipe that I have already posted but it is amazing and very satisfying.
  
• Dove Miniatures: These are the real thing. Ice Cream covered by dark chocolate. They are decadent and they are already portioned out and wrapped so just in case you happen to have another....at least you know how many calories you have consumed!
  
• Edy's Slow Churned Ice Cream in Egg Nog & Peppermint stick: Just another reason to love the holidays...out for a limited time so get it while you can!!


• Real Whipped Cream: A little goes a long way and makes everything taste better. It has very little carbs and only 15 Calories for 2 Tablespoons...just watch your portions!!!

Quick and Easy Lunch

1 Veggie Burger (I prefer Gardenburger Portobella Or Morning Star Veggie)
1 cup of baby spinach
1/4 cup of shredded carrots
1/4 Lowfat shredded cheese (any kind)
2 slices of tomato
1 tablespoon of Litehouse Salsa Ranch Dressing (found in the refrigerated produce section)
1 Joseph's Lg. Low carb Pita

In a microwave safe dish, cook the veggie burger for a minute and a half.
Remove veggie burger and in the same bowl combine spinach, carrots, cheese & dressing. Microwave for 1 minute.
Slice tomato and add it to the pita bread. Add cooked veggie burger and spinach mix.
Enjoy!!!
