I actually thought I might address the original post of silly season recipes LOL!
I like to snack so these are couple of healthier options I've been getting into:
I've been having wraps with mountain cornbread or those sorj lite ones with shaved turkey or chicken breast and salad(lettuce,tomato,cucumber,salad onions,grated carrot etc depending on what feel like) bit of mayo or lite caesar dressing YUM YUM and can mix them up make them italiano style with sundried tomatoes and kalamata olive and sprinkle of that grated parmesan if I want cheese (I love olives) or avo good alterative to mayo or dressing or just have both I mix it up.
I also have wraps for dinner sometimes and just cook some chicken with satay sauce for one alternative of beef and salsa lite sourcream but with those I use those mission wraps that are bit thicker.
For breakfast or snack I've been making some burgen toast (love the pumpkin seed one) with some of the light phili and tomato and pepper or avo lime juice and pepper!!!!
Another salad I make is a tandoori chicken salad(I cook my chicken in patak's tandoori paste) with a yoghurt dressing(you can use those lite taziki dips or make your own)-with just whatever salad you want to put in it but I like to do lettuce,tomato,salad onions,cucumber,long peels of carrot and snow pea sprouts. You can top off with some papadums-I usually just cut them into strips and deep fry them(oh god forbid lol) and drain them well or you can do them in the microwave to cut frying bit!! It's YUMMO!!! I also make wraps with tandoori chicken and yoghurt dip!!
Anyway hope I've give a couple of you some idea for the summertime menu...........
Can I come in that party? LOL @Sugarfree: Thanks for the ideas, I wanna try some of your recipe especially the burgen toast for snack. (I also love pumpkin seed)

Hey guys-I cant stand anyone in my kitchen I am a complete control freak cos nobody can do anything the way I like LOL (except my best friend but we totally in sync she does one thing while I do another lol). I don't see my mother inlaw ever and My mum hates cooking which suits me and I hate doing the laundry which she loves so its a happy world for me la dee da dee da and HO HO HO!!! LOL
you girls are so lucky , my mother in law thinks every one likes her food and to be fair some of it is nice ,,but we come from an italian back ground and you do not mess with the italian mama lol ,,,,,, if she is not cooking she is running off at the mouth and no one can get a word in edge ways but hmmm i suck it up to keep the peace and her happy its only a week of misery lol ..
