Happy Humpday Family! Is this week flying by or what! Well if you are like me everyday is another challenge on what to eat, especially for lunch. So I am trying to have my lunches made ahead of time whether in a jar or in a container, however as long as I can just reach in the fridge and grab I am a happy person! It does help keep me on track as well. The past 3 weeks have been very challenging and I am trying my hardest to do this and STAY on track! I am sharing what I make so you can copy and hopefully help you out as well. This is what went into today's lunch...
1 slice fresh pineapple (Approx 1 inch thick) 8 cherry tomatoes with 1 tsp Panera Bread Fuji Apple Dressing 2 slices Sara Lee 45 Calorie & Delightful Wheat Bread with 2 0z Oscar Mayer Deli Thin Turkey & Ham (Approx 6 slices) 1/2 tsp mayo 1 slice Sargento Thin Provolone Lettuce 1/2 oz cashews (Approx 10 whole or 20 pieces) Total =383 calories with 23 grams of protein!!

Happy Saturday Mason Jar Family! Last year I wanted to do something different. Something we never done before as far as where to eat for Easter Sunday. Normally it is a tradition to eat at my house.Well last year I wanted to be a rebel and break tradition..So I decided we were going to eat at the park. I would pack up all the food, drinks, desserts and dinner there it would be.
It was wonderful! It was a beautiful day! The kids went to play while things were being set up. Out came the mason jars of cole slaw, corn, potatoes, ect. Just a note if you put all the jars in the cooler and keep the lid closed your food will be just as hot as when you packed it. After dinner the kids went back to play while we hid eggs all around. I had an easy clean up and then it was dessert time! For this I put a few bags of ice in another cooler and set the jars in between them to keep them cool. If you are looking for an easy recipe it don't get easier then this: The first one is Chocolate Overload in a jar. It is 2 chocolate cupcakes split into 3 pieces. Chocolate cool whip and a Hershey's miniature on the top. The second one is Coconut Vanilla . It is 2 vanilla cupcakes split into 3 pieces. Vanilla cool whip with toasted coconut and some robins eggs..Aren't they cute!! Enjoy and as my favorite Pastor used to say Christos Anesti!!! I have been searching the internet for a while for a spiral slicer. I found a few different ones but couldn't decide which one I wanted and they were all actually somewhat expensive. So ok anything over 20.00 is expensive. lol..Then one day Mama April calls me from Walgreens of all places and says hey they have a spiral slicer the one from the AS Seen on TV ad! Only 14.95! Ok I was sold! In my car to Publix to buy zucchini, carrots, yellow squash, cucumbers and whatever else could fit into this delightful device to make into a long strand resembling a noodle.The ideas were endless! I do have to say though cucumbers are awesome tasting! So anyway the hype lasted all of 3 days I think now it just sits on the back of my sink waiting for the next faux noodle recipe. Like tonight's meal.....
