Hungry Girl Today: 12.11.08



WEEKLY WEIGH-IN



Look who's getting cozy this holiday season! We played matchmaker in our

kitchen, and the results are delicious...





Swiss Miss Sensible Sweets Diet Hot Cocoa + T. Marzetti Light Caramel Apple

Dip



PER SERVING (6 oz. prepared cocoa with 1 tbsp. dip): 75 calories, 0.75g fat,

197mg sodium, 17g carbs, 1g fiber, 9g sugars, 2.5g protein -- POINTS®

value 1*



Pop-up shocker! A Tall Salted Caramel Signature Hot Chocolate at Starbucks

(made with fat-free milk and NO whipped cream!) contains 400 calories and

15g fat (POINTS® value 8*). ACK! We have to admit, however, that caramel

and cocoa make one steamy couple. Luckily, you can enjoy the combination

without spending a ridiculous amount of calories and fat. Just whip up a cup

of our favorite cocoa according to the package directions (with 6 oz. water),

and stir in a tablespoon of the gooey caramel. So good and SO low in

calories!







Athens Mini Fillo Shells + Snickers



PER SERVING (2 Snickers-filled shells): 91 calories, 4.75g fat, 53mg sodium,

11g carbs, <0.5g fiber, 6g sugars, <1g protein -- POINTS® value 2*



Yup, you read that right. We're actually advocating the purchase of a

Snickers bar. But don't bite straight into it. Instead, get the standard 2.1-oz.

bar and slice it in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into 5 "nuggets". Set out

10 of those frozen fillo shells and pop a chocolate nugget into each one.

Place them on a baking sheet, bake in the oven for 10 minutes at 350

degrees, and then let those babies cool. Now you've got yourself 10 itty-bitty

Snickers pies! And they are INSANELY DELICIOUS. Chew two of 'em for less

than 100 calories. We recommend whipping up a few batches of these treats

for an upcoming New Year's bash. Trust us, they'll be gone long before

midnight.







Jell-O Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding Snack + Ginger Snaps



PER SERVING (1 pudding snack with 2 cookies): 120 calories, 2g fat, 285mg

sodium, 24.5g carbs, 0g fiber, 5.5g sugars, 1.5g protein -- POINTS® value 3*



Forget plum pudding... we're all about ginger-cookie-infused pudding snacks!

Simply spoon your vanilla pudding into a cute dessert dish, crush up a couple

of ginger snaps (placing them in a baggie and smashing 'em with a rolling pin

or can does the trick), and then sprinkle the cookie crumbs on top. Yum! This

is a far better way to get your gingerbread fix than, say, devouring the roof

off a gingerbread house. Mmmm, ginger snaps and pudding. Here's to the

happy (and yummy) couple!







Too-Good-To-Deny Pumpkin Pie + Breyers Double Churn Free Creamy

Vanilla Fat Free Ice Cream



PER SERVING (1 slice of pie + 1/2 cup ice cream): 223 calories, 3.25g fat,

286mg sodium, 49g carbs, 12g fiber, 20g sugars, 9g protein -- POINTS®

value 4*



Yowza. These two have been checking each other out since the pie was first

developed back in '07! And while our pumpkin pie has been pretty exclusive

with whipped cream for a while now, it's almost 2009 and time for that pie to

play the field. So enjoy a slice of it topped with a scoop of Breyers' creamy

frozen vanilla goodness. So good it'll make your head spin!

Tasty trios! Couples are cool, but so are 3-ingredient recipes! Check out the

HG cookbook (in stores and online) for around a dozen terrific triplets. A few

of our favorites? The Blueberry Mango Madness Smoothie (page 24), Cheesy

Dog Tortilla Roll-Ups (page 151), Dreamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge

(page 171), and Upside-Down Chocolate Cream Pie (page 183). Who said

recipes need a ton of ingredients? :)



CHEW ON THIS:

Today, December 11th, is National Noodle Ring Day. Celebrate by tying a

piece of Tofu Shirataki around the finger of the person you love... Tee hee.



Pssst... Pass along the food gossip! Share these hot couples with all your

hungry pals. Hit "send to a friend" NOW!
