I just wanted to say that I've been hungry since after dinner last night, through breakfast, through spin class, and still after my mid morning snack...this is gonna be hard! The hunger is like a gnawing constant reminder of my goals though, so I hope I learn to like it!!
Also I talked to Rachel last night for like 30 minutes about salad dressing! Hahaha! I love salad dressing, because it's the best part of the salad. I am always on the lookout for delicious dressing with less than 100 calories per serving (2 tbsp in most cases) and less than 5 grams of fat. Here are my top 5 dressings of all time!
1) The new sesame dressing we got for the program!!...I have no idea where they got it though! 50 calories and 3g fat. I took a picture of it for you (It's blurry! It's not your eyes, it's my camera), so scour your grocery store shelves! I have a feeling it's from a health food store (Whole foods, New leaf...If it's not in the Dressing section, try the Asian Foods isle, or the Marinates isle!) Don't stop till you find it! you'll happily eat salad for every meal!
2) Trader joes Spicy Thai Peanut Vinaigrette (in the refrigerated section)...I put this on everything, broccoli slaw, marinate chicken, salads, Faux pad thai, made with Tofu Shiratake noodles (more on these later).
3) Trader Joes Creamy Cilantro Dressing (refrigerated section) Put this on taco salad!! yum yum!
4) Trader Joe's Raspberry Gorgonzola Vinaigrette (refrigerated section) This sounds so decadent and bad for you, but it's not!! Make a fancy salad and serve this with thinly sliced lean beef...Make this and impress your friends!
5) Trader Joe's (noticing a trend here? these folks know what they're doing!) Organic Blue Cheese Dressing (refrigerated section!). This has 90 calories and 9 grams of fat (it will make your skirt fly up!) I like to thin it out a little with Balsamic Vinegar, and add some pepper, and maybe some gresh garlic...Oh man, you'll love it!
Check these out people!! They are delicious! One more tip...be wary of dressings that don't require refrigeration...they can be scary and taste like chemicals!
Preview of Tofu Shiratake Noodles: They are an asian noodle substitute that have only 40 calories per bag and 3 grams of CARBS, you heard me right!
