Yummy ideas here!!

Some of my faves for summer are cucumbers and onions sliced and soaked in vinegar and Water, salt and pepper to taste. Vinegar to taste as well depending on how strong u want the vinegar flavor to be.

Love sliced tomatoes as well. My cousin has a garden so I get great fresh veggies from her.

For a sweet treat I like strawberry chantilly. Made with SF strawberry Jello, SF vanilla pudding and lowest cool whip. It's like a mousse.

Jimmy dean egg white breakfast sandwiches ( with blessing of my nutritionist). Have one every morning for breakfast. Love the pita crackers and flat bread crackers from keebler with homemade chicken salad for lunches. Zucchini/quinoa casserole with the plethora of fresh seasonal veggies. Marinated talapia filets from sams club. Loving the healthy food...esp when i know it leads to weight loss!
