Miracle of miracles, I made it through all of Super Bowl Sunday with only one indulgence (a brat with bun). My saving grace.... a tray full of veggies & fat free dip. While everyone else was eating chips & other goodies, I was pretty content with my veggies & dip... and since the dip was only 10 calories per tablespoon I was able to double-dip without regret. 60 calories in dip, plus the veggie calories, is a HUGE savings over what I would have eaten if I'd dug into the chips. Today I had some of the left over veggies & dip with my lunch. Anyway, this got me to thinking... why does a veggie tray only get fixed for special events??? So for this week, one of my goals is to have a veggie tray in the fridge at all times. Pretty sure veggies with a little dip trumps a bag of chips any day... lol.

We had one identical to the one in the pic for Super Bowl...and the left overs are in a ziploc bag in the fridge for me to munch on all week. LOVE!
What kind of dip is it? Fat free sour cream mixed with a Ranch packet or ??? Those vegetables look SOOOOO good!
The dip was fat free sour cream mixed with part of a packet of ranch, garlic powder & onion powder. I was trying to reduce sodium, and it came out fairly good, but I need to tweak it a little more.
That looks like my favorite dish at the party.
I enjoyed reading your story. Almost 50 pounds is a major achievement-- I'm impressed!
