I'm easily impressed. I delight in some really ridiculous little things. Here are just a few of my recent favorite things.
Thing #1: My $1.00 - yes, you read right $1.00 - mini grater from Michael's. I'm a little embarrassed that I'm so pleased with it, but I am. Yes, I have a microplane that I adore, but it's my fancy kitchen toy. I don't use it on the everyday stuff...like cheese for quesadillas. So while I was at Michael's last week I found a nice little stainless steel grater in the cheapy aisle that is fantastic. That's all.
Thing #2: Laughing Cow light swiss cheese wedges. They satisfy this cheese-lover's cheese tooth without all the unnecessary calories, fat and cholesterol of the regular stuff. I haven't even missed having real cheese lately. That's saying something. I spread this on a toasted whole wheat English muffin the other night, topped it with some grilled turkey, and topped it all with sauteed onions and mushrooms. It was fantastic. And, for under 300 calories, it made a great meal.
Thing #3: Probably my most-loved kitchen fun of the moment: SMOOTHIES. I've been using these lots lately for breakfast or snacks. My favorite is a combination of ice, fat-free vanilla yogurt, skim milk, frozen orange juice, a banana and vanilla whey powder. Yummo!
