New Sandwich Delight

I'm into couponing and healthy eating. On my shopping trip to Publix this weekend, I got a great deal on Arnold Sandwich Thins, so I picked up a few packs. 

They are a great alternative to regular bread for a sandwhich, with few calories and carbs. I ate my first sandwich on this bread today..and can I please just say YUM?!?! It was so delicious! This is my new favorite sandwich bread and I strongly suggest you try it, especially if you are trying to eat healthier. Have you tried it? If so, what did you think? 

I would love to hear what some of your favorite foods are!

Now, I'm a fan of Buffalo Chicken Dip, but it's a little bit on the not to healthy side depending on what recipe you use. I found this recipe on Gina's Weight Watchers Recipes blog. She has lots of tasty treats on there and I will be sharing some of them with you in the weeks to come. So here is my recipe for the dip.

4 oz reduced fat cream cheese, softened

1 cup fat free sour cream

1/2 cup hot sauce (any kind)

1 tsp white wine vinegar

2 cups cooked shredded chicken

Directions:

Mix the first 5 ingredients together until smooth.

Add the chicken and put this in the crock pot for 3-4 hours.

Try It Tuesday!!

This is something new that I am wanting to try. I mentioned in my previous blog that we are trying to start living a healthier life. Well, this part of that effort. Every Tuesday I am going to try a new recipe. My problem is that I am very picky: don't eat seafood, steaks, pork chops. LOVE anything chicken, but at the same time, I'm wanting to try something new..I need something healthy, but yummy!! I love fruits and vegetables. I know that lots of you have great recipes and I'm asking you to share them with me!! 


Share one new recipe with my every Tuesday!! In return, I will choose one each Tuesday to fix the following week and will be sharing about recipes that I am trying and ones that I find as well. 

If you would, just leave a comment with your recipe: ingredients and directions. At the beginning of the comment, just label it [ex. Main Dish,  Dessert].
