dark chocolate chips, I'd try that. ;- ]

Sheila, have you tried different brands? I found the ricotta at Trader

Joe's was sorta lumpy and I didn't like that but the ricotta they carry

at Safeway is very smooth and creamy -- the brand is called Precious --

and I really like that. What's not to like about ricotta? the flavor

is almost identical with cottage cheese but it has less carbs I think.

> Hi, Vicki. Thanks for your feedback. I have tried Ricotta, but do

not like it. I do have cottage cheese, and plain yogurt. I never

thought to use that for anything except my breakfast meal. I will try

using it to satisfy my sweet tooth.

carbs. I only had one Weight Watcher dessert, and stayed within my 150

carb limit. I consider that a success. For the next 21 days, I plan to

read my email from this list, and post just after my breakfast meal. I

understand it takes 21 days to break a negative habit.
