Traveling Snacks

This past weekend I was in Chicago at a Tradeshow for Medora. It was very hectic - travel delays, busy show days and then a rush to the airport so I could get home exhausted. Chicago airport does not have very many healthy food options - McDonalds and a sports bar, so I knew I would need to grab a bag of my favorite plane ride snack - Sotos Multigrain Chips. The Zesty Lemon with Olive Oil and Lemon is so yummy - even Rachael Ray thought so! I was so happy to have it when the stewardess asked me if I wanted peanuts or cookies. I was able to say "No, thank you, I have something". My Sotos were a much better alternative!

dinner last night

So last night was Pizza night once again. Unfortunately, it did not meet my usual pizza standards. The sauce was thin and watery and the cheese too salty. Feeling dissatisfied with the one slice I allowed myself, I reached for a bag of Pucci Pizza Snacks. Believe it or not that hit the spot. I was eating the Classic flavor. Just the right amount of crunch to feel that I was indulging. So at the end of the night dinner was a success.

Last night we had our grandchildren over for a swim in the pool and pizza. They compared the Pucci Pizza Snacks to the pizza we were eating and guess what? The Pucci won! They prefer the Pucci to many other snacks and were taking the small bag to school with their lunch. The kids were trying to trade for their Pucci Snacks! They love to make the pizza puzzle - if you take 6 pieces of the Pucci Pizza Snacks you can make an actual tiny pizza pie!

A light lunch ...

Today I decided to eat a light lunch. I made a healthy summer salad with a side of eggsalad. Of course I use mostly egg whites and very little low fat mayo. Instead of bread or crackers I use the Sea Salt Corners. They have just the right amount of salt so I need not add any additional salt to the egg salad. I actually feel like I am indulging, while in actuality I am eating healthy.
