Baked Tortilla Chips

It is official The Bubs, like so many others are back on the weight loss train in the new year. Our history of weight loss goes several years deep and several pounds lost and gained back. We are no strangers to the the programs out there and the tools used for weight loss. We decided that this year we had a new motto "A new year, a new house, a new attitude."

Over the years we have learned a lot about ourselves and our bodies. We know that the keys to weight loss for us are to:
1. Not feel deprived, keep the food interesting
2. Keep Moving
3. Measure what we eat

These may seem like simple guidelines, but these are what have worked for us in the past. We as a couple are aware of our downfalls and aware of our strengths. We tend to spend many hikes and walks talking about how we want to be healthier. We know that as a couple we can do anything we set our minds to. Mario is a great motivator and helps to keep us active. I am the voice of reason and help insure that our meals and snacks are on target. Together this is a combination for success. But like anything in this world weigh loss takes dedication
and hard work.

Since snacks are limited at times we have found that one of our favorite low fat and low calories snacks is baked tortilla chips. They are super easy to make and are just as tasty as anything you can find in the store.

Ingredients:

These chips are great with a fresh homemade pico de gallo (which is low in calories and super good for you)!
