So I am on this great journey to become healthier. The first thing I have discovered is that snacking is a huge problem for me.
I made this recipe, and keep it in a big canister on my counter. I know that I can have 1/2 cup at a time without derailing my plan. I try to save up enough points so I can have this in the evening while I am winding down and watching TV. I brush my teeth after I eat it so I am not tempted to go back for another serving :) It is crunchy, salty and has a little bit of a bite to it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Better go brush my teeth...
