Last night’s dinner of salad, and chicken and peppers pasta turned into an even better lunch. EVEN BETTER. Seriously. This wrap is going to save the world.

 

Ok, here’s what I’m thinking, if everyone, especially the crazy politicians had one of these wraps there wouldn’t be room for name calling and fighting. Everyone would be so busy inhaling peace would be had throughout the world. These babies are seriously that good. The sauce, ooooooh the sauce. It’s heaven. Pure heaven. My darling friend, Jeana Hammer taught me how to make the sauce and it is hands down out favorite new lunch item. It’s out of this world.

So, here’s what it is, we used the salad, cucumbers, sauteed peppers, and shredded chicken from the night before. I just stuck a little of everything aside and saved it for lunch. The next morning I was already at the stove making pancakes so I also cooked some uncooked Tortilla Land tortillas. (They are the only kind we buy). By the time lunch rolled around I threw the sauce ingredients in a blender and we were ready to eat. The entire lunch took us about 3 minutes to make. Not bad at all!

How To Get More Dairy Into Your Diet With 5 Easy Steps

If we are talking about making healthy and delicious lunches one thing I just have to bring up one little thing… dairy. I have been shocked to hear that many people do not include very much dairy in their diet. So, here’s what I was thinking. If you are already going to join me on my “new paper bag lunch mission” (I totally just made that name up, but I’m sticking with it.) then let’s just quickly go over a few ways that you can include a little dairy in your lunch to help you to meet your recommended 3 servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy foods a day. Click HERE to see what the National Dairy Council is saying about 5 easy ways you can get your dairy in. I don’t know about you, but I adore dairy, and yet I still need reminders to incorporate enough of it into my diet. I figure if the Lactose Intolerance sheet can help those with issues, it’s also a great source to help everyone.

Let’s make lunchtime a little better, yeah?
