It's Superbowl weekend!!! What we used to do: chips, dips (lots of fattening dips), salsa, beer, wine, ribs... basically we started with the "Puppy bowl" and ate way through midnight!! So changes this year... still have ribs (for daughter who loves them), cottage cheese, blueberries, but I also am making homemade guacamole, bean dip (this is super yummy - I pureed this at first and now eat it - see recipe below) and hummus - oh an no beer or wine this year :-). But I don't know how I can "dip" into these???? Any suggestions? I am still on soft foods - and I know that my stomach will only allow about 4 tbls/hour on these things....

Any other suggestions - in addition to the how to "eat" or "dip" into the hummus and guac?

Bean dip:

black beans (don't drain if pureeing into dip), salsa (I use about 1/2 jar of arriba medium), about 1 tsp. lime juice, 1 tsp. cumin - and optional is about 1/4 cup low fat mozzarella cheese.

pour everything into sauce pan and cook on low for about 30 - 45 minutes (because I wanted the beans soft). You can then puree this into a dip - yummola!

What about making a few smaller ramekins of like a layered taco salad with the guac and bean dip and just eat it with a small spoon? Can just grab your own portion size and have at it.

If you're on solid foods you could use vege sticks as the dippers - jicama is good as it's crunchy and very mild and great with the Mexican style dips.

socaldixiegal - great idea on the ramekins!!! I wish I could use celery and jicama right now - looking forward to when I can have those! I will try the taco salad idea - love it!

Ok...i know this isn't PC but saltine crackers! Or if you can find crackers with a little protein. I have some kashi crackers that have a little protein In them. And then scoop you dip on a plate and " "double dip" with your cracker so you don't eat to many

I found some crackers at Walmart that are low carb and high fiber they are called something like 34 degrees but only the wheat ones are low carb
