Potato Chips vs. Pita Chips
Best Bet: Pita chips
When you’re dying for something salty and crunchy, potato chips are the first thing that come to mind. But a single ounce (that’s just 12 chips!) has 160 calories and 10 grams of fat. Add onion dip and your snack jumps to 212 calories and 15 grams of fat. Instead, slice a four-inch pita into wedges, brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle judiciously with salt, then crisp in a toaster oven. Add hummus, and you’ll take in just 167 calories and 7 grams of fat while adding 3 grams of hunger-taming fiber.

I made these for our Super Bowl gathering – but we had salsa with them. It’s pretty low calorie and low fat, just have to watch the sodium.
Got a good recipe for hummus?
That sounds really yummy!
Actually Lisa, I do have a hummus recipe. 🙂
In my opinion th ebest hummus is the simplest.
1 can of chick peas, a couple cloves of garlic, salt, pepper, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and a dash of cumin. Sometimes I add chili or jalepeno peppers for a kick. LOL
Doesn’t it, Karin. I’m making some this weekend for sure.
Sounds yummy
craving pizza?
1 8″ tortilla
tomato sauce (don’t use alot the center will get soggy)
low fat mozerella
Chicken shredded
Freebees: mushrooms, onions, green peppers…
pop in the oven till golden
the whole thing is like 150 calories, only fat is in the cheese and protein from chicken
Yummy – this one’s my favs 😀
Thanks for the recipe!
We like to make pizzas like that, too. canadian bacon, pineapple, low fat cheese, spinach, YUMMY!
I have to give that a try!! My cook is gone for a week, and I depend on takeout which is deadly to my diet!
