What are some of your go to snack options lately??! Sometimes the smallest things (like a parsnip chip) can make my entire Dia day!
Pair these chips with Trader Joe’s kale spinach dip…(2g of carb) and that’s a tasty low carb treat!!
PLUS… The bag just cracks me up:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

12 chips? Who actually eats 12 chips? The way I eat I have to count “THE BAG.” So with 5 servings at 3 g each that is 15g. That is actually pretty darn good. Actually that is great.
There is a reason that I only those little bags of chips are allowed in the house.

haha brian! darn it, we live so far out in the sticks, it would be an all day trip to go to TJ’s. But I just adore parsnips, I think I’ll get some this week.

@Brian_BSC I know! I could never eat just 12! But that’s what i’m sayin’! Even after I scarf the entire bag (which I tried to to but actually could not because it really is a pretty big bag!) it’s really not a total disaster at 15g carbs!
@MarieB i know…i hated to almost post for those "stick: livers. I was there for 20 years…when all the “fancy stores” were a vacation in themselves to get to!
Thank goodness those well-dressed women figured out what to do with all of those parsnips!

I once lived in the sticks. Five miles to the nearest store (at a gas station) but you don’t want to buy perishables there. The nearest grocery was thirty miles and even they didn’t carry “stick livers.”
Maybe I oughta put this in the “something weird about me” thread…but I now weigh out a portion of chips to eat (when I eat them) so I get an accurate carb count. 
I weigh my chips. Then I put the bag away. Keeps me from eating the whole thing.
Darn it. Of course I see this AFTER I get back from Trader Joe’s!!!
Oh well. Next week!
I did find some Noplaitos-flour tortilla chips the other week that were low net-carb, alas… they also taste kinda like cardboard. But if you’ve got enough cheese on them… ahem.

I should have such self-control. But after eating a serving, I swear I can hear those little chips who were passed over when I grabbed a serving on the first go-round lying in the bag and crying out: “If you loved me, you’d eat me, too…” And the thought of them feeling unloved is simply too much for me to bear.

My TJ’s was out! I was so disappointed 
Hi Cynthia,
Tried to obtain the Parsnip Chips at my TJ’s in NY. No one had heard of them so the mgr came out to tell me they West Coast has them but soon they would be in NY? Strange cause I could’ve sworn I had seen them before.
Oh well, maybe next time! 
What a bummer! I live in Boise and our store had them! I hope they get them for you soon! The chips and their riced cauliflower saves the day for me sometimes!
You are sweet for letting me know about your TJ adventure! Thank you!! 
They run out of the best stuff sometimes!! Ugh! They are always out of riced cauliflower!

Cardboard!! Lol! Anything can go down with enough cheese!!!
this is a little off topic, but the WashingtonPost food section recently featured recipes made for their columnist Dana Milbank, who said he’d eat his words if a certain politician got the Republican nomination. A famous chef came in and devised a menu of interesting recipes that would use up 18 inches of his newspaper column. He ate everything and finished it off w a Pepto Bismal. It was hilarious!

I finally got some of these - apparently my TJ’s just got them in. Yep, I can verify their deliciousness! (snacking and typing…)
