Glad to be Green...

Well, after a few days of doughnuts, cheese & carbs, it's ABOUT TIME I got some GREEN back in the blog! :)

In the mix:

• Mesclun mix
• Carrots
• Chickpeas
• 1/2 can of tuna
• Craisins
• Scallions
• Few Garlic Croutons

It may not be a very exciting salad, but it was oh-so-necessary and OH-SO-WELCOME! 

And since I don't want to leave you with just another tuna salad, I can also show you my yummy lunch and snack from yesterday which was.......this:

...plus a 1/4 cup of these...(LOVVVEDDD the almonds, so I knew I'd LOVE the cashews!) 

....and a sprinkle of these...

= Sooooo good!  Perfect lunch for the 80 degree weather that snuck up on us:)

And since I was in the "market" for a new afternoon snack, I thought I'd try out this:

1/2 a cup is 110 calories & 3 grams of fat, which is just enough to keep you full through the afternoon.  If you've never tried Quinoa, I HIGHLY suggest giving this one a whirl.  Not only is it A.-Already made for you, but B.-It's studded with zucchini & carrot pieces which gives it a great little kick of flavor.  Two thumbs up!

Well, after our glourious sunny & spring-like day yesterday, we certianly got shot back down to earth with rain today.  Oh well....hopefully this all will bring those May flowers;)

Have a great Tuesday, everyone!
