These Are a Few (more) of My Favorite Things.

* Benefiber Cherry Pomegranate drink mix. Tastes like cherry Kool Aid from back in the day.

* BirdsEye Steam Fresh frozen vegetables. They steam right inside their bag in my microwave and are refreshingly tasty now that my summer vegetable harvest has all but slowed to a trickle.

* My Basset Hound Tater. He hates exercise as much as I do. He will run and play in the yard, but strap a leash on him and man-o. Not a fan of the structured exercise.

* Hard boiled eggs. A dish of these in the fridge are the ultimate convenience food. An egg and a banana = the perfect in a hurry breakfast.

* Neutrogena Foaming Blackhead Removing Face Wash. I know, not technically diet related. But anyone who has exercised knows that you sweat. A lot. I have been washing my face with this product after every workout for a little over a week now and it has drastically reduced the blackheads and breakouts on my nose and forehead.

* Ultimate Fake-Out Cupcakes. 1 box Pillsbury Reduced Sugar Cake Mix (any flavor), 1 egg white, and 1 can diet soda (any flavor) Mix all and bake at 350 until done. They are (depending on flavor) a tiny bit over 100 calories per cupcake. For an extra few calories you can add a dollop of fat free Cool Whip on top. My favorite is Chocolate w/ diet Root Beer and White or Yellow with diet Sprite.
