Low calories veggie dip

最近跟朋友学到了吃vegetable dipping, 没想到菜花这种我一向不爱吃的东西,生着拿来沾酱料吃还相当不错!西兰花,西芹,胡萝卜也可以拿来沾,很好吃。
唯一可惜的是,超市里面的蘸料都太肥了,一大勺(tbsp)的热量居然就要有70-90。我如果一顿饭只吃蔬菜蘸作为主要的菜的话,估计要吃掉至少5,6勺的蘸料。。。。这热量。。。好像都快赶上炸薯条了。。。。
刚刚在网上找到了几个低卡蘸料的配方,改天自己做来试试。
--------------------
最新发现:Ceaser Dressing可以当作蘸料来用。我买的是Noname的低卡凯撒沙拉酱,一大勺热量只有30,而且还挺便宜的,好像才2-3块一大瓶(950ML),看来近期是不用自己做蘸料了:)

1 - 16 ounce container fat free cottage cheese

Put cottage cheese in blender and blend until completely smooth. Pour into a bowl. Add pack of Hidden valley ranch mix. Cover, and refridgerate overnight so the powder has time to disolve.

家里孵鸡蛋

这两天,被公司一个在加利福尼亚的同事气得不行。我在做的一个工具需要连接他做的webservice, 结果按照他给的文档生成出来的数据,总是被他的webservice认为是非法数据。而且他还邮件不回电话不接,真是服了他了。。。。
晚上回家跟家里人抱怨这个同事怎么这么懒,然后感慨说在加利福尼亚那边看来太好混了,结果老公没听清,说,“什么,在家里孵鸡蛋的太好混了?”于是,恍然大悟,难怪这家伙对工作这么不热心,原来是忙着在家里孵鸡蛋呢,哈哈。
