Friday 7/9/11

Friday has rolled around already! Here is a recipe for the 100 calorie snacks for you, Anita. I was having technical difficulties yesterday, sorry about that. Let's all try to check in and see how we did...

I don't know about you but I LOVE popcorn, here's a smarter way to eat it:
1/4 Cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tsp. paprika
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
1 TBSP. canola (or light oil, I use rice bran oil)
1/4 Cup popcorn kernels

1.Mix the parm, paprika, 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper in a small bowl.
2. Pop the popcorn kernels
3. Transfer popcorn to large bowl, sprinkle with spice mixture and Enjoy!!

Chocolate covered pretzels!-I don't know why I couldn't think of this on my own, who doesn't have dark chocolate lying around the house!
1 1/3 oz. dark chocolate (60-70% cacao), finely chopped
24 mini pretzels (24! I think I could even be satisfied with less)

1. Line baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Put chocolate in microwave safe bowl and microwave 30 seconds. Stir, then micro for 30 sec. more. Stir til smooth.
2. Dip each pretzel halfway into the chocolate, place on wax paper. Refrigerate for about 15 min. until set.
Yummy!
