It's that time of year for potlucks, football parties and appetizers.  We want to stay healthy and avoid overindulging, but oh those goodies are just too much.  Or maybe you actually have the willpower to say no and stick to the good stuff.  I find that bringing a healthy snack or dish to the party helps me because I often end up eating a good portion of it! 

A friend recently gave me a great tip.  She said that instead of denying herself a taste of that enticing dessert, she cuts off a small corner and savors it.  Then she tells herself, "The rest will taste exactly the same.  So I  don't need any more."  What a great idea!  By the way, she's very thin.

For an easy, tasty appetizer you can make the night before, or the day of the party, click here for my tortilla roll-up recipe.  This is a slightly different twist on an old favorite.  It goes anywhere, party, potluck or dinner appetizer.  I can't get enough of them.
