Interesting thing called Salad.... it seems so....pointless, the leafy greens don't seem to hold much promise of being a filling salad, even with veggi's. I used to think that in order for a salad to be a meal it had to have loads of stuff in it like a taco salad. As I've ventured back into the world of Core I realized that the easiest lunches for me at work would be salads, but I didn't want to mess with all the extra space in the fridge that the toppings would take, then I thought about the salads I have at buffets....i put almost anything on it that's a veggie.... so the last couple days I've been stuffing myself (not completely I'vebeen following the core rules of not over eating) with lettuce.....
Now the best garden salads have different types of lettuce. I have iceburg, romain, and "spring mix" (ie eatable weeds). ThenI have chopped up broccoli, red bell peper, red onion, thinly sliced tomatoe (so you can't taste it) and cucumber. CHop up a little left over Turkey from the big T day (chicken in our case this year) and toss with some ranch dressing (I tend to use the lite version because the fat free can't be considered ranch) and viola.... lunch that fills you up, low calorie (virtually 0 point if I had to count) 100% core (well almost the dressings not) and no guilt... and I am hoping that all that veggie goodness will be getting me to perk up because i'm ready for a napp....
Well my lunch break is almost over and I'm trying to decide if I'm done with my food or not... I'm not sure if i'm hungry still....grrrrr oh well i'll nibble on my rabbit food if I get hungry and I've got another orange in my bag if i need it.
:) Happy beggining of December y'all.
