Portion Control 6 Layer Taco Dip

April 26, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I feel great today! Things are back to normal. Working late hours throws off my whole schedule, but now I am back to my regular routine! For the past couple of days, we had dinner and lunches out and I am so happy to be home and make my own dinner. Funny how you miss cooking! I don’t mind being served food, but I was missing my creative side. So with all that said, I have a wonderful, fun, low-calorie, 6 Layer Taco Dip, just for you!

This dip is full of lots of fun flavors!  I layered with refried beans, my homemade guacamole, which I posted yesterday, Chobani Greek Yogurt, Salsa, Cheese and diced tomatoes.  The flavors come together wonderfully!


Every time I go to Trader Joe’s I see there 7 layer taco dip and I always want to buy it, but I know I couldn’t eat it all, well I probably could, but would feel to guilty, so I thought I’d serve my dip in little ice cream bowls, so it will get eaten and I was right!! Who can resist such a cute colorful dish?

Portioning the dip in glass bowls would be a great idea for a party!  That way everyone has their own portion and they can double dip without getting yelled at or get dirty looks.  Heck they could lick the bowl too!  🙂

I love portion controlling my dip, that way I don’t go overboard on my dipping, you know it can sometimes be too easy to just keep eating it.  This portion makes about a cup, which may not sound like much, but trust me this is pretty filling!!  The calories for one of these little cups of Mexican heaven is under 200 calories!  You have to love that!!!

I also made homemade tortilla chips, which I liked, but to be honest my Husband didn’t like them at all.  I used mission corn tortilla shells, cut them into 6ths, sprayed them with cooking spray and sprinkled with salt and baked them on 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until crispy.  They tasted good to me, but like I said he didn’t care for it.  However he likes fried tortilla chips and I don’t mind baked ones.

Off the subject of my tasty 6 Layer Taco Dip, today (Wednesday) was the first day I exercised all week, and boy was it hard to get back into to doing it.  I did Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zone and that workout is so long.  It’s like 50 minutes of working out and 5 minute cool down.  My arms are so sore from it, which is a good thing.  I need a hard workout considering I ate so much bread and even had a chocolate mousse for dinner the other night.  Eck!!!  I have to be extra good this week, which I seem to be doing well so far, but it has only been a day.  I decided last week that I would really cut down on white sugar, which I did!  I didn’t have any added sugar last week!  🙂  Funny I did eat a lot of berries though!!

Guess what, as I am typing this, my Husband is standing over me with a BIG bag of jellybeans telling me here’s the black one you like.  Here’s a coconut one and I’m putting them in my mouth.  I swear he purposely does this to me!  I have no control!  How do people do it?  Oh well, a couple of jelly beans won’t sabotage me!  🙂

    I love these single serving fiestas in a bowl! They’re the only way I could exercise any portion control over seven layer dip. 😛

    Yay for getting back into your groove! I feel so off when I’m unable to exercise or eat homecooked food for a while…but it feels so great to get back to it when I do!

    Okay Jenn, so first of all, you need to tell your husband to put the jelly beans in little glass bowls, THEN you could have some portion control 🙂 – but not me, I would eat all the bowls clean!
    I love this dip, so pretty and sounds delish, I think I could eat for a whole meal, YUM! 🙂

    Thanks for linking this up to our Super Bowl party. This looks so good. I think the homemade tortilla chips are ok. It certainly works well for portion control. I can’t let an entire bag of those chips go to waste by not eating them.

I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?
