One thing I really miss eating is brownies. I don't really eat sweets but I absolutely adore brownies! I prefer homemade while they are still nice and warm from the oven. I recently found these 100 calorie brownie bites and since I am determined to stay on track with my weight loss - these certainly will do! They are quite small but if you take your time eating them they are actually satisfying. Of course you can't expect them to have the exact same texture or taste of your high calorie treats, but I was pleasantly surprised.

It's the Cheesiest!!

Well I don't actually know this because I haven't tried them but Kraft has introduced a new treat for those of us who are watching our waistlines! I actually love cheese but try to limit myself because the kind I love is gooey and goes great on tortilla chips. The cheese squares are offered in four different flavors - Cheddar & Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Garlic & Herb, Cheddar and Three Cheese Blend. I saw them at my local Food Lion. I will be trying them in the next couple of weeks and post a review.

All of this Anticipation...

I'm a member of several weight loss message boards and I always read posts about people raving about VitaTops. I could eat brownies seven days of the week so these treats seemed right up my alley. After searching several different stores for months I finally found them at a local Harris Teeter. They were kind of pricey - $5.75 for a box of brownies or so I thought they may really be worth it. Not the case. In the store I debated between the Deep Chocolate muffins or the brownies. I finally chose the brownies even though they had some type of nuts on them - which I hate. I just figured I could take them off - no big deal. I decided to have a brownie for my afternoon snack. I was pleasantly surprised that there were not many nuts on the brownie. The brownies were actually quite small but seemed like enough to satisfy my brownie cravings. Now I know these will not taste exactly like a brownie loaded with fat and calories, but I really did expect more. The texture was decent, but they were not that sweet to me. They also seemed kind of dry. For much less I could have had a 100 calorie rice krispie snack. I may or may not try the VitaTops. For almost $6.00 I would have to really enjoy the last three.

Small But Tasty.....

I don't think I would recommend these burgers by themselves for a complete meal but they are very good as a snack or for lunch with lettuce, onions, pickles, etc. added. I usually have one at lunch everyday. They actually remind me of White Castles' sliders. They are topped with cheese and have a grilled taste. It takes less than a minute to microwave it. I will post the nutritional information at a later time.

Low Cal But With A Kick!!

Being the spicy food lover that I am you cannot imagine how excited I was when I ran across these! Years ago Pringles had no fat chips in this flavor. I was so disappointed when they were discontinued. Well imagine my surprise when I found them in Walmart last week. There were a bit pricey at $3.32 for the box but they were absolutely worth it! There are 10 packs in the box with a good number of sticks in each one. I will update this post when I can get the nutritional information. I will definitely be buying these again!

Update to my Digornio post...

So I went to Walmart to get my weekly supply of the chicken pizza and to my dismay...it wasn't there! There were plenty of pepperoni and a new offering of cheese and tomato. *insert sad face* So that was about two weeks ago and I have yet to find my fave anywhere. It's still listed on the website, so I'm going to email them and find out what in the sam hill is going on. I'll keep you updated...

My New Favorite!!

Okay I know I've said this before but this time I really mean it! Like many people, pizza is one of my favorite meals/snacks, just because I'm trying to watch my caloric intake doesn't make me exempt. I just happened to be in Walmart and found these. I tried pepperoni first and it was actually pretty good. Then a couple of weeks later I discovered the chicken with peppers and onions. I was hooked! It is so good I actually eat it five nights out of the week. (I know that is not good!) But it is just so easy to come home after work and pop one in the microwave. I think it actually beats out some of the other kinds of pizzas that are heavy with toppings and just seem really greasy. I end up satisfied but don't feel like I'm uncomfortably stuffed. At $2.50 for a box of two, it is very reasonable.
