Trader Faux Nachos

I'm very excited that we were able to add some crunch to our diets with some crackers this week. Tonight I had a delicious dinner that had 330 calories and 12 grams of protein and it replaced an old junk food favorite.

I threw a paper plate on my food scale and added the following ingredients

1 serving of Trader Joes Savory Thin Mini Crackers (about 34 crackers - next time I'll do half a serving)
2 slices of Sargento Colby Pepper Jack Cheese
5-6 Merzetta Tamed Jalapenos
1 oz of sour cream (greek yogurt for even more protein)

The crackers and cheese weighed in at 2 oz, I popped that in the microwave and then topped with 1 oz of jalapenos and 1 oz of sour cream.

It was so delicious and even though it was only 4 oz of food I gave quite a few to MS and I threw a couple out.

Next time I'll do less crackers and beef them up with some chicken or ground turkey

  3. Ugh! I'm sorry Lisa!! What in the world are they waiting for? I would send you some goodies if I had some dry ice sitting around! :) I already said this on your blog, but I can't tell you how excited I am for you!! It's so real now. At our appointment a few weeks ago, our nutritionist asked us if we were happy with the surgery and I was having a hard time fighting back the tears of happiness. Can't wait to follow you on your journey!
