Following Mindless Eating suggestions, I decided to use baby carrots as scoopers with my third-meal baba ganoug tonight, instead of the usual rice crackers. To my astonishment, it was BETTER, much better. When I ran out of carrots (I wasn't too excited about eating vegetables, so had bought only a small handful), I switched to fresh tomato, which was also good.
In this one step, I avoided hundreds of calories (you can get a lot of those little crackers on a plate!), had a couple of healthy vegetable servings, AND enjoyed my food more.

It's a Middle-Eastern spread made with roasted eggplant and olive oil, the same kind of thing as hummus, that is usually eaten with pita bread. Also spelled baba ganouj or baba ganoush.
