Hi everyone-it's Mary Anne, the Weight Loss Blogger. As you can imagine, after a year of dieting, I've got a few (million) yummie low cal recipes at my fingertips and I thought I could throw some out on the Food Blog for everyone to enjoy.

As Libby previously mentioned, the Super Bowl is right around the corner-but what's a dieter to do when you head to your Super Bowl party only to be engulfed in a swarm of chili con queso, beanie weenies, chips, dips and the like? Well, you might want to check out the Weight Loss Blog for some helpful hints...but as for the Food Blog, an easy low calorie Super Bowl recipe... the "Skinny Mini" Pigs in a Blanket!

"Skinny Mini" Pigs in a Blanket
