Yogurt as Mayo

First off......guess who is down 8 pounds???   Hopefully you guessed me.....I'm down 8 pounds!!!    I've been having breakfast as the Digest Smoothie (from an earlier post),  and healthy eating for lunch and dinner (all the meals I've shared with you!!)   I've also been working out.   I go outside and walk/jog when I can, but it's not often at this time of year.  Luckily, I have an elliptical machine, which works well!   Last night, I just turned on the satellite radio and DANCED.....and danced for non-stop for over 30 minutes.    It was a ton of fun!!!

I don't have photos of this recipe - my hubby and I ate it before I could take any photos!     Basically, we made chicken salad using Greek yogurt as the creamy part.

Skinny Chicken Salad:

1 can white meat chicken ( 12.5 oz)
1 cup of fat free plain greek yogurt
2 TBS Kens steak house Lite  Ceasar dressing
3 TBS sweet pickle relish

Drain the can of chicken, and shred the meat into a bowl.  Add remaining ingredients.    Serve as you like!    Hubby and I ate it on a whole wheat tortilla with romain lettuce; I ate it with nothing else for lunch.   I felt full for 4 hours!

I am slowly convincing my husband that yogurt works well as a mayo or sour cream substitute.     This recipe helped!!!!    Stay tuned.....this weekend I plan to tackle pizza dip!!!   I am sure that I can make a more healthy version!    I'll be testing it on my girls and hubby's friends.....I'm sure they'll not notice the difference!!!
