Thingy of the week

Since I am on a diet at the moment, I thought I would post one of my favorite diet snacks. (though it's good even when you are not on a diet)


All-Bran Crackers are so good! I love this Garlic herb flavor. You get 18 Crackers for 120 calories, 6 grams of fat and 5 grams of fiber (2 points). Pretty good!



I like to spread this Laughing Cow cheese on top of the crackers. 1 wedge has 35 calories and 2 grams of fat (1 point). The fiber in the crackers keeps you full and the creaminess of the cheese makes you think it is not low fat. The perfect combo. You can get a 4 pack (8 wedges in each) of the cheese at Costco for around $7.99. It has a super long fridge life so you don't have to worry about it wasting. You know I am a little crazy about expiration dates so I love that. There is also a Garlic and Herb flavor of this cheese that is really good. I like to use that instead of mayo and cheese on a turkey sandwich. Yummy!

Do it Britney. I love finding out things people love. It's how I discovered some of my favorite things I wouldn't have ever tried.

Both sound awesome! Thanks! I love the name of the cheese!

I do really enjoy that cheese. I never would have thought to try it. I haven't tried the crackers, but I do love Kashi crackers (original flavor). I think they are fabulous and everything Kashi is good for you.

Love both of those...especially the Laughing Cow cheese! Last week for lunch I tried something new with the cheese - maybe you've done this. I spread the cheese on a whole wheat tortilla, added chicken and then dipped it in salsa...it was super yummy(I think it was 4 or 5pts)!
