With all this talk about healthy frozen treats, I tried something last night that I had heard about in several places: frozen grapes. I have to say, yum! Like little popsicle bites. Got my snack ready for later today =)
While others may have lain in bed last night longing for some cake or chips or whatnot, I was longing for some crispity crunchy celery sticks. How weird is that?! This morning I cut up a bunch and have them sitting in ice water until lunch time. I don’t know if I will like them as much by day as I did by night, but how wonderful would it be if I did?
Speaking of lying in bed. I really, really must get to bed earlier. One thing I have noticed when not eating after 8 pm is that by 11ish I am hungry and thinking about food. If I were actually sleeping by 11, I would be missing that whole hunger thing. I’d probalby be more cheerful in the morning too =)
Well, I am NOT dreaming of celery but I do have trouble getting to bed at a decent hour. I have had plans to exercise each morning before Dan goes to work but have not been able to drag myself out of bed because I stay up too late. But just so you know, Jana ain’t the only one burning late night calories… ROFLOL I could not resist, sorry!!!

You s*xed up married women! LOL.
BTW, those celery sticks were pretty darn good. The peanut butter might have helped, though=)

I got to thinking and I remembered that when my oldest two were little I used to cut grapes up into little bite sized pieces so they would not choke on them. When they were teething I would just put the bits in the freezer and they would eat them to soothe their little mouths. Frozen grapes are WONDERFUL for teething children and dieting adults!!!
Oh, and celery is great for people with hypertension. My hubby eats celery with peanut butter a great deal. That is about the only way I CAN eat it. Celery is not a favorite of mine but I will eat it for my health.

Frozen grapes sound good - haven’t done that yet but I have some in the fridge so I should.
I need to go to bed earlier also….and get up earlier lol.
I like celery w/ peanut butter - been having it with laughing cow light spreadable cheese lately though.

I.love.grapes! I never even thought about freezing them. And as much as I love cold, frozen things I just can’t wait now! Yummy!
Blair, I love the laughing cow cheese too. It is so scrumptious!

Okay, I have never heard of laughing cow cheese spread. I am intrigued to the nth degree. It’s probably expensive (for me) but I might have to treat myself!
