Why Weight?

What does our Why Weight meeting have that noone else has????

FOOD!!!

That is right!  It was mentioned that that is what is missing from other weight loss meetings…food, we all love it, so why not have some healthy alternatives there that we all can enjoy!  Especially since we are all starving from not eating before weighing in!  haha

So this week we did the pita chips (mentioned in previous post) and various dips, all the dips were low in fat, calories and pts, and core as well!  Yummy….we did salsa, black bean and corn salsa, fat free refried beans and the one that was requested to be posted….guacamole…..:) 

Personally I am not a huge fan of guac, but know of the love others have, so I mashed, and separated, and stirred and added, and made some for the ladies and it was a hit!:)   I have to give my friend Melissa props for this recipe, it is hers, I just made it a little easier and used what I had on hand to make it my own…:)  I made a really small batch so obviously you would need to adjust for however large you would want yours…:)

• 1 avacodo
• 1 small lime
• salt
• roma tomato, diced
• jalepeno, diced & seeded (to add heat, throw in some seeds)
• fresh cilantro

I didn’t have a jalepeno here @ the house and I forgot to buy one @ the store, so I opened a can of Rotel, and used that for my tomatoes and chili peppers, it wasn’t as spicy as I would have liked, but I was not taking 2 kids to the store for a jalepeno…:)

Ok seriously, I am the sweedish chef…LOL  So I have no tsp of this, tbsp of that…I eyeball most things…so this is what I did…

• Scooped the pulp (for lack of a better term) of the avocado and mashed it with a potato masher, added kosher salt, half of the limes juice, added a couple spoons of the Rotel (or tomatoes and jalepeno’s if you did it right) and mashed em….then I got out my little hand mixer and mixed it up so it was smooth…that’s it!

It was super easy and everyone loved it…of course Raymond added hot sauce to it…LOL  Which did give it a little kick, but the kick would have been there if I would have used the real pepper.

And just a heads up ladies….I got a new cook book , and o man, next weeks snack is gonna be yummy!!!:)  I will definently have the coffee and tea going for this one!:) so yummy!!! 

Remember Thursday 10 AM, be there or go hungry!
