Rather unconventional to start a diary with no introduction - but I have the urge to share my finding of the day ...
I like to cook, and it is actually fun to cook with restrictions. Over the years, in trying to manage my household, and hosting my extended family with a variety of dietary restrictions I have been able to successfully cook with varying needs at different times.
Now, my newest thing is to cook deliciously and low-cal. Tasty Dieting!!
Today I tried this idea from a fancy San Francisco restaurant - Hummus dip served with Belgian Endive leaves. It really works. And with Belgian Endive leaves - dips have suddenly become dieter-friendly!
Today I had it with Trader Joe's Roasted Garlic Hummus. Was yummy, but I think I can do better than Trader Joe's - both taste-wise and I can definitely cut down on the calories.
