Friday Finds: Litehouse Salad Dressing

I am in LOVE with this salad dressing! The Lite Salsa Ranch flavor is my favorite, but their Lite Ranch is quite tasty as well. This goes perfectly on taco salads (recipe coming next week!) and it's a fantastic dip for nachos. In addition to great stats (60 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 2 carbs per 2T) its also gluten free. Bonus! Also just a tip, you'll find this in the refrigerated produce section, near the salad mixes.

Friday Finds: Falafel Chips

These are awesome! If you like falafel (me!) then you'll love these. Dipped in hummus? Heaven. Totally satisfies the falafel craving without consuming anything deep fried!

Friday Finds: Brummel and Brown

This is for all you butter lovers out there who swear that there is no substitute for butter, other than butter. Now, there is! No really, its true. I've tried all kinds of light butters, margarines, spray butter...you name it I've tried it. This stuff is for real. It melts well, goes in recipes well, but my favorite use is slathered on a piece of bread. Or just scooped out of the tub with a spoon. Just kidding! Sort of...

 At half the fat and calories of regular butter (and 1pp per tablespoon), Brummel and Brown had me at hello!

Friday Finds: Coconut Caramel Fudge Bars

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you've all had a great week. Here is a little something to help you get through your weekend without falling off the wagon.

I've sworn off Girl Scout cookies this year, telling myself that they have been around for decades and they'll be around for decades more. This year is about losing weight and Girl Scout cookies are not invited to that party. I was a little bummed because I am a Samoa lover and I look forward to getting my fix every year.

Then I found these:



Oh. My. The resemblance to Samoa cookies is uncanny, almost a little bit freaky. At only 3 points per bar though, you can actually afford to eat one! And, you can eat it all year long, not just when Girl Scout cookie sales are going on! I'm beyond excited about this find. Give them a chance, you will be shocked!

Friday Finds: Capella Flavor Drops

These things are amazing! I ordered a sampler of flavors from their website a few weeks ago:
Vanilla Custard
French Toast
Chocolate Fudge Brownie
Coconut
Cinnamon Danish Swirl
Caramel
Pomegranite-Blueberry Water Flavoring


These drops are highly concentrated and contain none of the bad stuff! Sugar free, fat free, gluten free, calorie free, artifical sweetner free, sodium free....I'll be honest, I don't know if I want to know what the drops are made of, but I do know that they are wonderful for a dieter!

A few of the ways I've used them thus far include French Toast flavoring in baked oatmeal (which will be posted soon!). I added the coconut flavoring to fat free cottage cheese and mixed in some pineapple for an awesome Hawaiian treat. I also love adding the Blueberry-Pomegranite flavoring to my sparkling water, it tastes so fancy!

The possibilities are endless with these drops, and so are the flavor choices. They have tons and tons to choose from. I feel like they should totally be throwing me a few free samples with all the free advertising I'm giving them right now!

Friday Finds: Spring Rolls

With the start of Weight Watchers, Friday's are going to be slightly different around here. Every Friday I'll be sharing a low-point food find that I'm really excited about! If you have recommendations, please feel free to share them!

Without further adieu, today I bring you Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls. They come in three different flavors, as shown. I've tried the Thai style and the Fajita variety. Both were a-m-a-z-i-n-g! They come with a little crisper sleeve to use when you microwave them and I swear they taste just like spring rolls from an authentic Chinese restaurant! They are even the same size. The only downside is that there are two servings per box, you get three spring rolls per serving (I hate it when something is seemingly packaged as one item, but you can't eat the whole thing). They are packaged in three's though, so that makes it somewhat easier not to eat the whole box! They also advertise right on the front that the box contains two servings, which I appreciate. On Lean Cuisine's website as well as on the box they are listed as four points, but I've found that most of them are five points plus, the packaging just hasn't changed over yet. I highly recommend them!
