How I’m Winning During the Super Bowl

<p>Did you catch <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2012/02/random.html">my post yesterday</a>? It was random, but worth checking out! <p>I'm getting out of this funk & on to bigger & better things....like watching the Super Bowl! ;) <p>I watch football because my husband LOVES it! I've actually gotten into it a little more each year and follow his favorite teams as well. This year I'm not too into either team that's playing in the Super Bowl, but I’m watching the game and the commercials, of course! (in between taking care of a certain cute, little baby!) <p>But what I love about Super Bowl Sunday is the FOOD! As a part of getting out of the funk I was determined to make some yummy, but smart options! Check out what I made! <p align="center"><strong><u>Layered Taco Dip</u></strong> </p> <p align="center"><font size="1"><em>(adapted from </em></font><a href="http://www.eatbetteramerica.com/recipes/healthified/healthified-seven-layer-taco-dip.aspx"><font size="1"><em>Eat Better America</em></font></a><font size="1"><em>)</em></font><a href="http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/1223"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCj8wOS8jT1CSY2jSguRBXnK7Fhk32SCPC-7TwTLJl8AQo1S2NaPhO6D3aN4ZxMkhyz464VOcXfbUcWhTlpRaerT-Jx6lcY92ikBUmP23h7ghndDWbwQimZjmPBskY5nZJ2TPVttjgB862/s1600-h/IMG_10564.jpg"><img alt="IMG_1056" border="0" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwhIvrXJ4mHdk_2CYasP0HXxj56lJf9nyBfzPX9Ri2w1DjIH1PujSvvemN6AenhVbftuihDeI5g1m516aAsM2SN4cO-sSDl74HFL3qjPIEjnh4z-to8L9p6essi80Oh3SnUld8KlS8mPFi/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_1056" width="404"></a></a></p> <ul> <li> <div align="left"><em>1/2 lb ground turkey</em></div> <li> <div align="left"><em>1/2 envelope lower sodium taco seasoning</em></div> <li> <div align="left"><em>4 oz fat free cream cheese</em></div> <li> <div align="left"><em>10 oz fat free refried beans</em></div> <li> <div align="left"><em>1/4 c fat free sour cream</em></div> <li> <div align="left"><em>1/4 c fat free mayonnaise</em></div> <li> <div align="left"><em>4 oz reduced fat shredded cheddar</em></div></li></ul> <p align="left"><em>Preheat oven to 325.
