Well it is back to school and or work and millions of Americans are wondering what they should fix for their brown bag lunches.
This year why not add pizazz to your lunches.
- Wrapped tuna or chicken salad in romaine lettuce leaves instead of bread. Choose rye or pumpernickel bread to add texture and fiber.
- Wrapped low-fat turkey or chicken luncheon meats around carrots or celery sticks and dipped into your low-fat sauce.
- Micro-wave a baked potato and topped with salsa and 1/8 tsp of cilantro and parmesan cheese.
- Try hummus or black-eye pea hummus with warm pita bread.
Stir-fry vegetables in flavored olive oil and place inside a whole wheat pita bread.
Brown Bag lunches do not have to be boring, add a special treat. Write a I LOVE YOU note for your spouse and place the note in the bag. a great encourager/an appreciation to the one you love.
Place a red and white napkin inside.. And when you or your love -one have lunch, take the napkin out and place it on the table. Next place your lunch on top of the napkin to pretend you are eating at a picnic table. It is a great uplifter.
Make your brown bag lunches fun and exciting. Add dried cranberries to your coleslaw for extra flavor and taste. Add an orange stuff with mashed sweet potato inside. Warm the potato and voila , a great treat to end your lunch.
And most of all ,Take your time in making your brown bag lunch because you will enjoy it more.
