New Year, New Beginnings

The holidays have finally started to wind down, and the parties are fewer and further between. Many of you are probably vowing to a New Year’s resolution of eating better in 2010. Here are some quick snacks to make, they're sure to help you out when you’re at a loss for what to eat.

• Fruit cups: Chop up your favorite fruit and enjoy! You can’t ever go wrong with cups of fruit for a snack.
• Lettuce wraps: Use leftover meat and fresh vegetables to make easy lettuce wraps. They’re great for a snack or a quick meal. Saute any leftover veggies with some olive oil or a dash of sesame oil, and wrap with crisp iceberg lettuce. Yum!
• Flax seed chips: These chips are much healthier for you then regular potato chips, and help curb that craving for something crunchy. Cut flax roll ups into squares or triangles, brush with some oil and salt, and heat at 350 degrees until brown. Top them off with fresh vegetables, salsa or hummus- delish!
• Strawberries with Bliss: Cut some fresh strawberries and drizzle some Tantillo’s Balsamic Bliss on top for a sweet, vinegar flavor.

There are so many easy to ways to stay healthy this new year. Treat yourself to some easy, quick snacks and meals at the beginning of 2010- starting off on the right foot is key!
