If you crave something sweet during the day -- for me its ice cream -- its best if you can manage to bring it with you. But that isn't always convenient.

I've discovered that I really like bringing a half cup of homemade fat free chocolate ice cream with me, but I never remember to scoop it out in the morning. So tonight, while grocery shopping, I came up with an idea.

I picked up an 8 pack of 1/2 cup glad containers -- those use or throw out ones. Then I made ice cream. I packed up all 8 of them right away and put them in the freezer to finish freezing. And so there I have it -- 8 little ice cream cups I can grab in the morning and take with me, and I can wash and refill when I make another batch. And I'll probably buy another set of 8 so I can keep rotating them through. Maybe with another flavor. I'm considering making a good mocha soon.

And this keeps me from hunting down the frozen yogurt guy and spending both more money and more points than I want to.
