Not fancy, but when I am in a super
hurry it will hold me over until the
next meal.

1 glass dry champagne after work
1 packet of tuna

I went with a girlfriend to a Tastefully Simple open house, which was awesome.  I have to say that I was pretty skeptical about any of those snacks being suitable for a low carb diet and I mostly went to visit with my friend and buy one thing to be courteous.  I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole host of low carb yummies to dive into!  I don't want to write too much here because I'm going to do some extended recipes when the sauces and seasonings arrive, but I'll tell you that I purchased the beer cheese soup mix and the Everyday Grillin' seasoning among a few other things.

I sampled several cream cheese and sour cream based dips with baby carrots, celery, and cucumber slices.  I also had a few scoops of some spinach and chicken thing, a glass of unsweet tea, and two strawberries in a lemon yogurt dip that was way too sweet to be low sugar.  Not too bad considering all of the cracker and cookie options that were available for sampling.

Dinner
(met up with awesome boyfriend for some late night eats at The Greene Turtle)
cowboy burger, no bun
sub french onion soup (no crouton) for fries
2 Miller Lite

Water
