Just bought some low carb pudding.....:slurp:
SnackWells have low carb cookies now, but I'm afraid to taste them. :hurl: Don't like any of them that I've tasted. Rather have one real cookie.
** have the windows open tonight (66 degrees) and somebody is grilling steaks...I'm going crazy (and I had TGIFriday steak tonight), They smell soooo good. :slurp: **

SnackWell Cookies & Crackers are low fat snack from Nabisco. They were very popular when they first came out a few years ago and the stores couldn't keep them on the shelves. They recently added low carb cookies as well. I never found them to be too tasty. I know alot of people who were disappointed that they gained weight on them...when they took out the fat they added extra sugar (mostly corn syrup) to hold the things together.
IMHO, you aren't missing a thing. :wave:

If your whole diet is Snackwells...you will gain weight. Like any food, low fat, low carb, or whatever...everything needs to be done in moderation.
I used to have a coworker that was doing a Weight-Watchers like program, and she was none too successful. The problem was she was eating the special pre-portioned food in larger portions....she would eat the meal, plus a few of the snacks for one meal, then a few of the snacks throughout the afternoon.
Cutting back carbs/fat/whatever is only one part of a sucessful meal plan...moderation is the more important part.
My youngest daughter turns 6 this Saturday and we are having the family over for a party - A NEMO PARTY (after a samll swim party at the Aquatic Center). Anyone have any recipes for a good, low-carb, desert cake, like a cheesecake or something? We will have regular cake and ice-cream for those not doing the low-carb thing but I would like to have something yummy for those of us who are.
Another pound lost this week. I know, I know - a pound isn't much but if I could string together 5 or 40, that would be a good thing.

I saw one in the grocery the other day, problem is I don't know the brand of it because it was SOOOOOOOO expensive i just walked away. ($10 for a very small looking cheesecake... too much for me) If I am back in there this week I'll check for ya, though.

Give me a little while & I'll see how my favorite recipe works out...I know its very low in fat (I'll run it thru the nutrition program for carbs).
Katie has her Sweet 16 party on Saturday...8 teens (plus her dad, sis & I ) going to harry Potter then to Olive Garden for dinner. Do they serve low carb pasta? :lol:

I love the olive garden. Try the mix grill plate if you are watching carbs.
Skewers of grilled chicken and Italian sausage with a rosemary demi-glace sauce. Served with freshly roasted vegetables and potatoes. 14.25
You can skip the potatoes, or just limit what you eat. The vegtables are zuccini (another that I will eat) and the like.

We get a lot of Darden news, since they are basedin Orlando. They are closing some low grossing Bahama Breeze locations because there is not a craving for island food in the US. They have just opened a smaller format of Bahama Breeze in Pittsburgh that is much less expensive to operate, which is good news.
The focus over the next few years will be on expanding the Smoky Bones chain, which is also good news, they have great ribs. Bahama Breeze will continue to slowly expand.
Darden is still a little gunshy over the whole China Coast fiasco of the early '90's. The don't want to expand Bahama Breeze so fast as to have this happen again. Bahama Breeze needs much more bar revenue to make the concept work, therefore, the concept will only work in certain areas...this is probably why they are so popular in Orlando.
