Queso con salsa, chips, and football

There's something about the cold that makes me want to eat comfort food.  For whatever reason, I find nacho cheese and chips to be delicious, comforting, cold weather, football game viewing food.  I am shocked at how many calories some of these cheeses have! 

Maybe it's because I've been writing more and excersising less or maybe it's just extreme paranoia of gaining weight, but I have become obssessed with the calories in this food.  I wish I could say I'm going to splurge and eat this on Sunday during the game and then I won't again for the rest of the season, but that just isn't me.  I love it!

So, I have been sampling different cheese dips.  None are more than 45 calories per serving.  What can I say...I like it enough to eat it, but not enough where I'm going to have to do any major working out in order to break even.  So, those 100 calorie per serving cheeses don't even make it into the cart.  (Spikes Santa Fe and Chi Chi's also don't...think they're around 50)  Here's what I've found:

Newman's (40 cal I think) I thought would be tasty and natural.  Wrong!  To me it tasted like it could be possibly spoiled.  I don't know it just had a very acidic flavor. Ended up throwing it out.

Frontero Spicy Queso con Salsa (35 cal) Amazingly low calories and amazingly disgusting.  This wins the award for grossest queso con salsas out there. Took one bit and tossed it.

Targets brand of Queso con Salsa (35 cal) is really pretty good.  I liked this and loved that I could eat it without feeling too guilty.

Tostitos is also not bad.  It (to me) is comparable to Target's brand.

My number one pick, however, has to be the Walmart brand of White Salsa con Queso.  Most of the cheeses have to be microwaved to make them runny enough to actually dip a chip.  This one does not.  It is great warm or cold.  Also, I think because it actually has a salsa as a base instead of a cheese, the calorie count is pretty low too.  I can't remember now if it is 35 or 40, but it is really good.  That is one that I wish was a brand name so that I could buy it anywhere like the others instead of having to make my dreaded trip into Walmart.

So, there you have it!  I have sampled and way and those are my picks...now if only football was so easy. :)
