OK, so it has been a few months since I last posted. (sorry!) I'm not sure about you, but I find it incredibly difficult to eat in the heat, just no appetite for a meal. Instead, I tend to stay up late to cook once it's cool enough out..only problem is that I'll go all day without eating and have one big meal before bed..not so great for heartburn and those with a slower metabolism.
My secret to beating heat and hunger.. and look great all season in a bikini..
Snacks. Healthy, light, and crave-quenching, I'd rather have a snack than a big meal any day.
Here is my pick of the season for a deliciously hearty dip..just remember the healthy chip.
(I suggest blue menu PC brand for quality & price. You can try flax, sweet potato, whole wheat & more.)
