So I have two things going on right now. I need to get back into keeping track of what I eat to be sure that it's healthy for me and posting on this blog is very helpful with that plan. Second, I'm trying to make this summer as simple as possible so that I may enjoy it.
So this is my idea of a very simple , very tasty lunch which is also healthy. I try to stay away from the breads and carbs as much as possible. I bought these "Oroweat Thins" and I really like them because ....well, they are thin! They don't fill you up with the bread part of the sandwich yet they are just enough to make it a sandwich. They taste good and each one has - 100 calories, 0 trans fat, 0 cholesterol, and only 2g sugar. I smashed up a fresh avocado to spread on them. No mayo, butter or anything else. I had some large grape tomatoes. I love those because they always taste good and are easy to use in salads, etc. Yes they are small for a sandwich but I just sliced them and laid them on. I then laid a slice of the rotisserie style chicken breast lunch meat I had bought yesterday at Costco. It's a "Columbus" brand and says it has no gluten, no msg, 0g trans fat, and 98% fat free.
The title of this blog says it all. My hubby frequently walks through the house saying "yum, that smells good!" as I'm in the kitchen cooking something. I've been trying new healthy recipes. Some good-some not so good. Which is why I've decided to share my cooking experiences, healthy life changes, and inspiring ideas :) Although I have thrown ingredients together to make a meal I did not invent most of these recipes on my own. I have searched many books, magazines and websites for healthy recipes while weeding out the not so healthy ones. I may change some ingredients to suit our tastes or preferences.
Wife of a wonderful hubby. Mother of two grown children of which I'm very proud. Five grandchildren which all have a hold of my heart. One crazy hyper sweet curly dog that follows me everywhere.
