You’d think I had this healthy eating thing down pat. But when the blizzard snowed us in last weekend, my cravings kicked into overdrive. Suddenly I wanted to snack non-stop. I turned to Daniel, “Do you want brownies?”<\/p>\n

It was kind of a trick question.<\/p>\n

There was no way I wasn’t making them. I made pasta, too. And a green smoothie.<\/p>\n

If I’ve learned anything about satisfying cravings in the past 10 years, it’s that, so often, you can satisfy them with healthy alternatives and not feel a bit of sacrifice.\u00a0Those brownies I was craving? My friend Dana’s recipe hit the spot, and they’re actually pretty wholesome\u2014made with black beans, coconut oil, and less sugar. They were just as fudgy as I wanted them to be.\u00a0The pasta? Craving conquered with whole wheat spaghetti, which I always find more filling because it’s a little firmer\u00a0and a lot\u00a0chewier. And homemade sauce isn’t just more delicious than anything jarred, it’s more nutritious, too.\u00a0The green smoothie I sipped while the sauce simmered, made with spinach and frozen banana, was\u00a0just sweet enough to keep me happy until dinner.<\/p>\n

\"Sriracha<\/p>\n

By\u00a0Sunday, even though Daniel shoveled out the car, I still felt a tinge of that cozy, snowed-in snackiness. We watched football (well, he did), and I fixed us something to keep us full. The fix: fresh,\u00a0crispy, and cool summer rolls loaded with veggies. I wanted them to have some staying power, so I added my newest favorite Chicken of the Sea Flavored Salmon Pouch: Sriracha<\/a>! This flavor has\u00a0the perfect amount of heat and spice, with all the heart healthiness of traditional, wild salmon and only 70 calories a pouch. I think Sriracha is always better when balanced with creamy avocado, so I folded a few slices into each roll, along with sprigs of fresh cilantro, mint, and basil for a hit of bright herbal flavor. The herbs are such a refreshing\u00a0addition!<\/p>\n

\"Sriracha<\/p>\n

These rolls hit every craving\u2014they were crunchy, delicious, fun to dip and eat, and filling, too. They reminded me\u00a0of the fried Vietnamese spring rolls we love (un-fried!), or even of some of the richer finger-food apps we love when we’re out to eat. It’s nice to make something a little lighter and more wholesome that still delivers in the flavor department\u2014and these really do.<\/p>\n

\"Sriracha<\/p>\n

I also love that they incorporate a serving of seafood\u2014something I’m actively trying to work on this year! One of my goals at the start of 2016 was to reduce my dependence on meat (chicken, beef, pork), up the amount of vegetables I eat, and incorporate a serving of seafood each week. Using these Chicken of the Sea Flavored Salmon Pouches<\/a>, or any of the Chicken of the Sea products for that matter, makes it so easy for me to do that in a convenient way. I can keep a few pouches or cans in the cabinet and make a quick meal anytime.<\/p>\n

Chicken of the Sea is challenging people to Sea the Possibilities<\/a> this year, by\u00a0stretching beyond\u00a0their comfort zones, exploring something new, and receiving the satisfaction of accomplishing something they might not have thought possible before<\/span>\u2014and I am on board! I’m challenging myself to listen to my cravings and satisfy them with healthy alternatives when I can. Tuning\u00a0in to those cravings will help me to avoid feeling\u00a0blindsided when a craving strikes, and to react better and more quickly. Having lots of healthy recipes (for snacks, comfort foods…) in my arsenal is one way to always be prepared.\u00a0Will you join me?<\/p>\n
