Be aware that cheese sticks, including string cheese, can present dangers for small children and can be a choking hazard. Therefore, skip the Cheesy Breadstick recipe when small children are part of the meal.

Stuffed Cheesy Bread Sticks - a lower calorie recipe for weight loss.

Purchase the canned breadsticks in the dairy section at your local market. Wrap the dough around 1/2 stick of string cheese (cut the cheese in half, lengthwise). Seal dough edges.

Spray with butter flavored cooking spray, then sprinkle on dried or fresh crushed basil.

Bake as directed on package and serve with your favorite marinara sauce. Be sure to warm the sauce before serving. As soon as the breadsticks are removed from the oven, sprinkle on a bit of parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy 2.

Enjoy a side salad of mixed greens, tomatoes, cucumber and carrot with your meal. Be sure to use low calorie, light salad dressing or opt for balsamic vinegar. We allowed about 100 calories for the salad, so be sure to monitor your salad dressing which can quickly increase calorie content.
