A Tip from Todd!

Well, my brother-in-law Todd, has lost over 100 pounds over the last year, and is now a lifetime member of Weight Watchers (Maybe he would be willing to share a before and after picture to help us with motivation; hint, hint!)----he had this tip to share:

These are pretty "BA" on the taste buds!
My favorite salty morsel of deliciousness:

Homemade pita chips-
buy the "Kangaroo Pocket" brand pita pockets (whole grain). One pocket is actually a half pita- split it open and cut each half into 4 triangular peices (yielding 8)

Place these on a cookie sheet and spray with PAM olive oil and sprinkle lightly with sea salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Bake at 350 for about 6 minutes and then flip. Bake for 5 or 6 more minutes until browned and crunchy.

All 8 are 1 point! Pure deliciousness and the perfect fix for a salty fix. I will eat these with a little tuna salad (made with light mayo). Jen loves them with fat free cottage cheese. If you really wanna live- pick up a jar of julliened sundried tomatoes in olive oil and mix a spoonful with fat free creem cheese....That there is GOOD EATIN' as we say in Texas.
