Red, White and Yahoo & Wrap Star

Today I feel like I totally wasted my Saturday. I was lazy all morning, then went to Zumba class and on the way back I bought one of those pre-made fruit and yogurt parfaits. I could only assume they use full fat yogurt and granola, so I tracked it as so. Ugh what a waste of calories. Sure, it was tasty, but I could have made that way healthier. After I ate that I went to sleep for a couple of hours. I was wiped from Zumba. Between that yogurt parfait and my having KFC for lunch yesterday (ew), I knew I had to go pretty light on my dinner tonight. So I picked out something I'd been planning on doing for lunch this week.



First I made "Red White and Yahoo"

This is a salad made with chick peas, mini bocconcini, grape tomatos and a really nice vinagrette and herbs. I am not a huge chick pea fan, aside from hummus, so I was wary - but it turned out great.

A little tip for mixing salads with tomato of any kind - keep the tomato separate and only add it right before you eat it. I have my left overs in the fridge, tomato-less and I will just cut and add them as I eat each serving.

Wrap Star

This has feta and sour cream in it. Again, I was wary, but it was delicious. I found the feta really added extra flavour. This isn't your normal tuna salad sandwich. I took a picture before wrapping it so you can see the filling better.

So, I am very happy with my light dinner. It was very fresh and certainly better than KFC! Plus, I have leftovers for lunch on Monday, so I have something to look forward to.
