This Sparked Me!

When I have no calories to spend and I need something in my stomach *right now* I reach for a 1/4 cup to 1 cup of crispy, juicy jicama (yam bean) with a twist of citrus and a dash of paprika.

I also just "discovered" jicama. I love all veggies, but this one seems more satisfying than most. I use it cut like a chip to dip in non-fat dressing or hummus. YUM !

I just love jicama, even with simply adding a dash of salt and a squeeze of lemon, it's delicious! yum
