So, the boys are both napping, at the same time….any of you WAH/SAHM’s know what I am talking about…aaahhhhhhh! So, I set about to make myself a light lunch. I had some left over chicken salad in the frig. from yesterday. I grabbed that, a whole wheat low-carb wrap, some grated colby cheese and Newman’s Own Mango Salsa (my fave). The chicken salad consisted of Swanson canned chicken, red grapes, salt, pepper and a little raspberry vinegrette in lew of mayo. I laid part of the wrap in the bottom of a dry non-stick pan on medium heat. Tossed a little cheese on top, some chicken salad and a tiny bit more cheese to hold the top of the wrap in place and folded the other side of the wrap over and gave it a little smoosh. I use medium heat because that lets the cheese melt without burning the outside of the casadea. I took it out of the pan after a couple of minutes and let it cool so the cheese would firm up a little, then cut it in half topped with the salsa and enjoyed…by myself…in a quiet house…..it was almost as good as dark chocolate…..ALMOST! The whole thing was less than 200 calories!

Thanks for having lunch with me, see you tonight at the dinner table!

A Buitoni Night

June 24, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I took a little help from the refrigerator section of the store last night for dinner. I was way behind on work and needed something quick and tasty. So, I tossed some Buitoni tortellini into a pot of boiling, salted water. Then chopped up some smoke sausage and zucchini and threw them in a skillet with a little oil, salt and pepper. When they were done, I tossed everything together with a little marinara. Good, quick, easy and left-overs for hubby’s lunch today! Mission accomplished!

Thanks for having Dinner at The Hampton’s and see you around the table next time!
