After six and a half hours of driving, the feeling of finally being back home in Charleston... sooo relieving. Exhausted from an all too exciting weekend - my first bridesmaid experience and my best friend's wedding. I came home early to work at the gelateria for a couple hours -it was a rainy Sunday evening. It wasn't until closing time that I realized I had a late night errand to run. On my way, I realized life existed and thrived after 10pm. I've lived in Charleston since August, and came from a small town where the roads were clear by 8. As I drove, I saw people washing cars, manning late night drive thrus, and some were just meandering down Charleston streets. I realized that this town never stops - even after I hit the pillow night after night. So here is an ode to the late night crew, who work the night shifts and make life that much more convienant for the day timers. Here are a couple of late night snacks that won't pack on the pounds and will surely keep you going from dusk till dawn.
1. Rice cake layered with lite mayo, garlic powder, tomato and fresh basil, and topped with a fried egg.
2. favorite veggies and 1 T hummus
3. Larabar
4. Emerald nuts 100 calorie packs (coco almonds are fantastic!)
5. half an apple with 2 tsp almond or peanut butter
6. one small potato with 1/2 c salsa and 2 tbsp fat free sour cream (Wendy's anyone?)
7. 4-6 oz of nonfat or lowfat yogurt
8. airpopped popcorn (great sprinkled with cinnamon and chai for those with a sweet tooth)
9. cottage cheese and crackers
10. water packed tuna on wheat bread
