A pretty basic meal plan this week: quick easy meals, homemade hummus, canned soup, and left overs. Sandwiches are on thin buns and broccoli and bagged baby spinach were on sale.
My "new" food this week is Wasa Crispbread Crackers. It's no secret that I love crunchy, salty foods but all those carbs can add up quickly. These wasa crisps are really crunchy. And check out the nutrition label. They are pretty good sized so 2 of them with lunch or for a snack is substantial (read: instead of eating 23 triscuits). They come in a bunch of flavors: 7 grain, Hearty, Fiber, Sesame, Whole Grain and more. Now when I say they're crunchy -- I mean REALLY crunchy.
Also, I'm pretty sure these are the same crackers we fed the giraffes at the Colorado Springs Zoo when my kids were little....
