Food finds and recipe

I have definitely been paying more attention to the labels on food. I can't believe how many calories and fat grams were in things I used to eat!

In light of that, I have 2 "food finds" I wanted to share with you :) Both are DELICIOUS!

#1 Pomegranite Blueberry vinaigrette dressing
2 TBSP= 25 calories, 0g fat!


#2 Quaker True Delights Rice Snacks
Vanilla Creme Brulee flavor: 8crackers=60 calories, 0g fat!


I also wanted to share my grandma's veggie soup recipe. It is SO good and better than anything you can get in a can! I love snacking on it!

Ingredients:

5 cans green beans (use liquid from 4; more or less depending on how brothy you like it)
1 head of cabbage
baby carrots
cauliflower
4 chicken bouillon cubes
6oz tomato paste (Hunt's basil, garlic and oregano gives really good flavor)
15oz tomato sauce
*Crushed red pepper
*Cayenee pepper
adds flavor, amount depends on how much spice you want-I typically just sprinkle some in

Put all ingredients in stock pot on high until boil. Cover, turn heat down low enough to maintain simmer for about 45 minutes.

I also add broccoli, zucchini, and squash. I usually add them about half way through since they break down faster. You can add any other veggies you want and I occassionally add some cooked ground turkey for added protein.

Enjoy!


P.S. No gain, no loss today :)
