<br><br>
<br><br>GIRLS BITE OUT 
<br><br>
<br><br>Whether you're the one throwing the bash or you just want to bring along 
<br><br>something to a pal's party, there's no reason that party food can't be 
<br><br>delicious AND guilt-free. Check out HG's hot new recipe, twists on traditional 
<br><br>party grub, and our HUGE recipe round-up. Party on, people!     
<br><br> 
<br><br>
<br><br>Bacon-Bundled BBQ Shrimp
<br><br>PER SERVING (4 pieces): 116 calories, 1.75g fat, 587mg sodium, 7g carbs, 
<br><br><0.5g fiber, 6g sugars, 16g protein -- POINTS&reg; value 2* 
<br><br>
<br><br>HG's spin on a super-decadent appetizer that everyone'll love... 
<br><br>
<br><br>Ingredients: 
<br><br>16 large (not jumbo) raw shrimp; peeled, deveined, tails removed 
<br><br>8 slices Jennie-O Extra Lean Turkey Bacon 
<br><br>1/3 cup canned tomato sauce 
<br><br>3 tbsp. ketchup 
<br><br>1 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed) 
<br><br>1 tbsp. cider vinegar 
<br><br>1/2 - 1 tsp. garlic powder (depending on how garlicky you want 'em)
<br><br>
<br><br>Directions: 
<br><br>Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Cut bacon slices in half and set aside. Mix together tomato sauce, ketchup, 
<br><br>sugar, vinegar, and garlic powder. Lightly spray a baking pan with nonstick 
<br><br>spray. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Take one piece of bacon (half a slice), and coat it in the sauce. Wrap the 
<br><br>sauce-covered bacon around a piece of shrimp, and place it seam side down 
<br><br>on the baking pan. Repeat with the rest of the bacon and shrimp, and then 
<br><br>give them a quick mist with nonstick spray. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Place pan in the oven and cook until shrimp are cooked through and bacon is 
<br><br>crispy (about 10 - 15 minutes). 
<br><br>
<br><br>MAKES 4 SERVINGS 
<br><br> 
<br><br>
<br><br> 
<br><br>Fiesta Food Tips 'n Tricks!
<br><br>
<br><br>Standard party staples get tricked out by HG... 
<br><br>
<br><br>Slimmed Down Chips 'n Dip - For an easy, guilt-free take on classic chips 'n 
<br><br>dip, grab a few bags of baked tortilla chips (in different colors and flavors!). 
<br><br>We like Guiltless Gourmet's Spicy Black Bean and Chipotle ones -- you can 
<br><br>have about 18 of those chips for just 120 calories and 3g fat (POINTS&reg; value 
<br><br>2*). Then serve up a bunch of fun salsas to go with 'em (salsa is fat-free and 
<br><br>low in calories). We're currently obsessed with the award-winning Fruit and 
<br><br>Gourmet Salsas by Traverse Bay Farms (so many varieties!), but you can 
<br><br>also usually find a pretty good selection at most supermarkets. You could 
<br><br>also serve your chips with some of HG's guilt-free dips, like our Rockin' 
<br><br>Restaurant Spinach Dip, Amazing ATE-Layer Dip, and Creamy-Good Eggplant 
<br><br>Dip. MMMM! 
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>Cheese 'n Crackers Gone Guilt-Free - Who doesn't love crispy crackers 
<br><br>slathered with soft cheese? As good as that stuff is, each tiny ounce of full-fat 
<br><br>cheese contains around 100 calories and 8g fat! Luckily, HG has the perfect 
<br><br>fix for this party food. Set out a selection of The Laughing Cow Light Cheese 
<br><br>Wedges (if you unwrap 'em, no one will EVER know they aren't fancy, fatty 
<br><br>soft cheeses!). Those creamy triangular cheeses come in Light Original 
<br><br>Swiss, Light French Onion, and Light Garlic & Herb, and each generous wedge 
<br><br>has only 35 calories and 2g of fat (POINTS&reg; value 1*). Then serve those 
<br><br>suckers with skinny, seasoned rice crackers. Our faves are the ones by 
<br><br>Crunchmaster -- they come in a bunch of awesome flavors and have just 
<br><br>130 calories and 2g of fat in each enormous 16-cracker serving (POINTS&reg; 
<br><br>value 3*). 
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>A Pumped Up Veggie Platter - Sure celery sticks and baby carrots are good 
<br><br>for you, but they can also be boooring when it comes to a party platter. Jazz 
<br><br>up your crudit&eacute; display with sliced jicama, snow peas, cherry tomatoes, and 
<br><br>sweet bell pepper strips in red, yellow, and orange. And who says you have 
<br><br>to go all raw? Steam up some asparagus stalks and sprinkle 'em with lemon 
<br><br>pepper seasoning, or grill some thin eggplant slices with nonstick spray and 
<br><br>serve them rolled up with toothpicks. Then add any of those rockin' dips or 
<br><br>salsas from the Chips 'n Dip section, and you're ready to go!  
<br><br>

<br><br>CHEW ON THIS:

<br><br>stuff!
