Did you make New Year’s Resolutions this year?  I didn’t for once, but since I am one of those people who’s always on a diet, I figure that almost counts!  Especially with my un-resolution faring just as badly as many official resolutions. 🙁 

Yes, I started out the new year about three pounds heavier, courtesy of too much holiday food.

But if dieting or eating healthier is one of your goals too, today I am sharing a fun appetizer that may help us both stay on track–Skinny Poolside Dip.  I tried it on a recent vacation in Captiva where we stayed with some friends.  It was a super fun week with pool time, sightseeing and dinner parties.

Esp. skinny with carrot sticks

And there was one appetizer that was regularly back by popular demand–our hostess’s Skinny Poolside Dip. With reduced fat dairy and fresh veggies, it was like fun without the guilt.  She served it up with raw vegetables and soon we realized it was also great on French bread.

Healthy Game Day option!

I figure the Skinny Poolside Dip must have helped because I returned home with zero weight gain—hooray! But I knew the diet-busting Super Bowl was coming up, so it went right to the top of our snack menu.  Making it myself for the first time, it whipped up in minutes in a food processor (and would also be quick by hand).  Definitely on my go to menu now!

Yes, one last tough night, then I don’t see more big diet challenges coming up (lean seafood for Valentine’s I think!).  So here’s to getting back on track!

      Thanks Juliana! Normally I’d be suspicious of something like this, but since I tried it first, I was hooked!

    Good for you – I need to try this… but fear that if I eat the entire bowl, it might not be a skinny dip for me! 😉
