Just wanted to share a few more little itty bitty recipes/meals/snacks....Dont u just love the options!! Cant stand it!!

Snacks/meals

Hard boiled eggs and apples/fruit
1 whole egg
2 egg whites
1 apple, sliced
Or
Skip the eggs(Well at least skip the whole egg)
Add natural Peanut butter with 1 apple, sliced but add the 2 egg whites if you want to up the Protein

Turkey rolls
¼ cup light cream cheese or cottage cheese(don’t trip!! I will explain below.LOL)
¼ dried oregano or Mediterranean spices( can get it in the spice section)
¼ cup reduced fat basil and tomato flavored feta cheese crumbled
1 can 2oz chopped ripe olives drained
2 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches)
4 0z sliced turkey breast
1 cup baby spinach leaves
In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to combine cream cheese, oregano, reduced fate feta cheese and olives. If you are going to attempt cottage cheese(and I strongly suggest u do cause it is fabulous!!!) but it in a processor and mix until it is a sour cream consistency. Then fall above ingredients. Evenly spread half the cheese mixture on each tortillas. Then top with half the turkey breast and half the spinach leaves. Roll up tightly, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm enough to slice about 15 minutes. Remove plastic wrap and slice each tortilla into 6 pieces. If you want to take it up a notch as Emeril would say!!! Try taking some mini bell peppers and roast them off in oven with olive oil and sea salt and put in oven for 35 min at 400 degrees. After let them cool( all this can be done prior to making this recipe) then use with any recipe or just eat as a side. and there you have it!! Enjoy!!
