You have made some wonderfully creative posts and you are indeed an asset to the community.  Have an idea for you .. what do you think about taking all the unhealthy snacks and let's play a game ... perhaps we can list one unhealthy snack a day and we can all play ... BUST THE SNACK!  We could concentrate on that one unhealthy food and the community members can all tell of a similar type snack or food they use that would be similar in taste that would be a healthy way to satisfy the craving and yet do so in a calorie conscious healthy food way???

If you choose to do so .. please just add CHALLENGE POST before your title ... and let's see how many people we can get to start learning new habits and choices!

My fav UNhealthy snack...M&M's peanut (if I only name one!)
My fav healthy snack...100-calorie pop-corn or raw carrots (about equal!)
My fav emotional go-to food???  Let's just say that after hubby rolled his truck this past Monday, I almost started a post, "Guess What I Had for Dinner?"  If I needed to give hints, I was going to hint that it was a comfort food.  I made fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy (LOVE fried chicken gravy!!!), and broccoli.

What is your favorite UNhealthy snack?!  

Anything dipped in dark chocolate.  I got a small box of almond clusters for Christmas.  Mmmm.

What is your favorite healthy snack(s)?

Carrots/celery dipped sparingly in light sour cream (spiked with hot sauce), clementines, grapes, handful of almonds and/or raisins, baked corn chips served with copious amounts of salsa.  Why does salsa come in little jars??? I need to start tinkering with making my own.  (Tostitos baked "Scoops" chips are my fav because they hold lots of salsa!)

What is your emotional go-to food?

If I write them, I'll start craving them!  I have too many to list anyway :)  OK, one biggie is mashed potatoes with butter!  

What is your favorite healthy add on to breakfast?

I've recently been experimenting with my new blender so I've been trying various smoothie recipes.  Some silken tofu, a banana, some frozen berries, a splash of water and a hint of sugar = Yum.  (This pretty much replaces breakfast, not add on to it.)
