    If I’m on my more strict diet, I’ll have a string cheese. If I’m “splurging” a bit, I love pita chips and hummus. Yum!

    I am already a subscriber, but my answer to the Just For Fun question is: anything with vinegar! I’m in the “Crazy Cravings” part of being pregnant and right now anything with vinegar is delicious! I’m constantly snacking on pickles or salt & vinegar chips… these two are much healthier options than my major craving, hot wings with blue cheese dressing. So bad especially considering I’m usually a health nut!!! Favorite beverage? Water, water and more water!

    My favorite snack (when I’m being good) is an apple and a string cheese and (when I’m being bad) four Oreos and a glass of skim milk.
