| | | Low Carb Snack
If you need a low carb snack try celery stuffed with peanut butter, or cream cheese. You can get creative and use different kinds of cream cheese, garlic etc.
It is amazing how this hits the spot and fills you up. |

| | | I love celery but did not realize it was so good for you. Maybe I can get the family to eat more of it.
