Think about those days when you’re just craving that bon-bon, that frozen snickers bar, that handful of jelly bellies, but you know that one bite will send you into carbohydrate hell, a never-ending spiral that eventually leads you to mindlessly playing free cell or lying on the bed w/the TiVo remote in hand to watch the same Gilmore Girls episode that you’ve seen 20 times but don’t care because you have such a headache that you can’t even see straight let alone try to function rationally in the real world.

You all know what I’m talking about…

At last, a solution!

Frozen grapes. My new favorite treat. Eat them like candy. Eat as many as you want. No hell, no headache, no guilt, no free cell. Just pure low-glycemic, zone-favorable enjoyment.

For those times when you are upset that you are wasting perfectly good food because people are starving in Africa as your grapes are about to go rotten because you left them on the counter for a couple of days, hoping and assuming that as people walked by them they would grab a handful and therefore relieve your 3rd-world guilt, but nobody did so now you have to throw out rotten grapes, take heart! There is a positive solution!

Open freezer baggie, insert grapes, put in freezer. Wait an hour or two and voila–instant tasty snack!

Enjoy!
