Four Food Groups Bento

The Four Food Groups may have been replaced by some weird rainbow pyramid, but they were alive and well in yesterday's bento.

We had lots and lots of fruits and veggies left over from a Super Bowl gathering where all guests were on diets so the theme was healthy eats (many of them green to support the Packers).  I served my now staple Skinny Ranch dip.  My friend brought homemade hummus (needed some more spices in my humble opinion).  A good time was had by all....and there were lots of leftovers.

The only real indulgence were my brother in law's secret cocktail meatballs.  Well he's told me the recipe and I doubt it's that dissimilar to other cocktail meatball recipes that involve grape jelly, but that's all I'm saying.  They were delicious - even the next day.  It was like a party at my desk, minus the toothpicks.


Weight Watchers Info and Food Groups

Dairy - ranch dip made with Greek yogurt (1 point - once again I only ate half of the serving, never have enough veggies)

Fruit - Clementines (I love these so much, I eat them by the case) - 0 points.  Grapes - 0 points.  Kiwi (you can't see them but there were a few slices under the grapes) - 0 points.

Veggies - Celery sticks - 0 points.  Baby carrots - 0 points.  Bell tomatoes - 0 points.

Meat - Cocktail meatballs - probably 13 points but worth every one.

Total = 14 Weight Watchers Points Plus and a whole lotta yummy things to munch on at my desk.
