Sandwiches

Did I ever mention how much I love sandwiches?! This is my go to lunch mostly all the time. I just love sandwiches, what can I say. So many variations and my hubby loves them for lunch as well. Pesto is a great add on to sandwiches, especially flat breads or wraps instead of mayo and mustard. Adding oregano or Italian seasoning is a plus. Also, sub spinach for lettuce. Fresh baked breads from the bakery and focaccia bread always makes a great sandwich! Happy sandwich making :-)

Turkey wrap w/ Pesto

So Simple and Bursting with Flavor

Delish pesto (found at the grocery store)

Today I decided to have somewhat of a healthy lunch, since I am trying to eat better and exercise. So, I thought that a turkey wrap with pesto would be delish. I found some great pesto in the store (as I did not make my own, still waiting on my household goods to be delivered).

Turkey wrap, pesto, asiago cheese, spinach and tomatoes and toasted on the panini grill. Quit tasty and I plan on trying a variety of wraps. My next one will be a veggie wrap....stay tuned and I will let you know how that turns out for me :-)

Trying to do better when it comes to my eating  habits. Dinner: turkey  w/ spinach,  asiago, onions and tomatoes on focaccia...yum and salad with mixed baby greens, arugula, cucumbers, tomatoes and grilled portobella with balasmic vingerette. I try to stay away from cream based salad dressings.
