Choosing Healthy Options When You're Out!

Over the weekend I was at a housewarming party...
This was the spread of food they had there!  When we take a closer look there are some pretty healthy options here...I can enjoy myself without blowing my diet.  I was quite impressed.  Lets look at some of the smart choices...
Veggies of course, always a safe choice, be careful about the dip though.  Fortunately at this soiree there were some really fabulous healthy options. Home made jalapeno, asparagus, and sun dried tomato hummus.  These were all fantastic and based on my discussion with Maura and Sara, the hostesses, perfectly healthy choices.  Hopefully we will get them to elaborate on how they made these healthy and delicious treats.  They also made amazing gluten free, chicken pesto and sundried tomato pizza...
we can't exactly claim no calories here...but a lot less guilt than your average pizza...I had a small portion, it tasted fantastic and I didn't feel guilty at all!
I hope you're all zoning in on the fruit in this picture, because of course it is the other smart choice on the table.  That seven layer bean dip behind it not so much (though I have to admit I had to sneak a taste and it was fantastic as well...a little guilt causing though, but since I exercised control and didn't have much at all, I feel okay about letting myself indulge just a little in something I really want so as not to feel deprived and rebel later).
