Lunch!!

Day Two of healthier eating is going well.  I had a Eureka moment as to how to use my Jennie-O turkey ham that I got on sale a while ago.  Since how it's fully cooked, I decided to cut it up for salad topping!!  Score!  Lean meat, protein, and easy to store.  I got a lot of cubed turkey chunks out of what I thought was a smallish ham.

It made so much that I had to split it up.  I have some to get me through the week and I put some in the freezer so that I have some in the future.




I heated the turkey in the microwave and added it to my salad for lunch.  My salad consisted of romaine lettuce, spinach, and some other green lettuce that I purchased yesterday at Sunflower Market.  I added some salsa for dressing.  Salsa has a fraction of the fat and calories of light dressings.  Grape tomatoes and shredded parmesan added to the deliciousness.




I'm only half way through this salad and I'm starting to feel full.  Score.  I found an interesting lettuce related tip on Pinterest yesterday.  It seems it's possible to vacuum seal mason jars with romaine lettuce and the lettuce will stay fresh for about two weeks.  Ready for salad??  Just empty a jar.  Pre-portioned, rinsed, and dried - sounds like a good idea to me.  Now to just track down an inexpensive vacuum sealer with the jar attachment.
