It's a wrap!
It's the Academy Awards; hours of sitting in front of the television watching the stars go by. If you're like me, you have paper and pencil ready for writing down the winners and a hanky for those tearful speeches. Depending on what time zone you're in chances are the show will run during dinner and you don't want to be in the kitchen while it's on. Everyone else says they'll just munch on chips, dip and popcorn all evening. You want your family to eat something healthy but you understand this isn't the time for a full-blown meal.
Here are some tips:
• Not all chips are created equal; get the low fat kind or the corn types. Remember always read the ingredients.
• You can make your own dips with soup mixes and low fat sour cream.
• Yogurt makes a good snack.
• Grapes are the perfect snacking fruit.
• Raid the local deli and get antipasti, Greek Salad, and dolmades.
• Have everything ready so everyone can prepare their own sandwiches or wraps.
Wraps are the perfect snack/meal you can prepare everything ahead. This recipe makes two wraps - and you can change the filling to ground beef, turkey, or even mashed avocados.
