Now That is a Lunch

Today, I chopped vegetables for salads so I can quickly pack lunches this week (short work week yay!).

Mixed greens, carrots, radish, cucumber, snow peas with homemade creamy dressing.  I had planned to make a creamy buttermilk dressing, but wouldn't you know, they were out of buttermilk at the store, so I improvised.  Gluten free Kinnickinnick sandwich bread, spicy brown mustard, smoked turkey, swiss cheese, tomato sandwich.  Delish.  Spicy Thai Kettle Chips.  Diet Dr. Pepper-wanna be drink from home soda maker.

Creamy salad dressing:
1 individual container fat free plain yogurt (they only had fat free, which I don't normally buy)
about 1/2 as much low-fat sour cream as yogurt
splash of milk
about 1/2 Tbsp to 1 Tbsp mango balsamic vinegar
about 1/2 Tbsp to 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
about 3/4 cup parlsey
about 1/2 cup dill
(you can tell I'm big on measuring ingredients carefully!)

Blend or process until smooth and creamy.  Salt to taste (and it does need salt, it was bland until I added quite a bit to mine.  It's a lot of dressing, don't hold back!).

Tomato Soup and Grilled Turkey & Cheese Sandwiches

This is a great dinner that we make quite often, especially in the winter. It's warm, comforting, and we can each make our sandwich to our own tastes. And it helps that the husband doesn't have to eat gluten free bread.

V-8 Herbed Tomato Soup. Purchased with a coupon, this tasted a bit like minestrone. You could definitely taste all the other vegetables in it. Decent, but not something I would probably buy again.

Sandwiches of deli turkey and swiss cheese with onion, mayo, and mustard.

Eaten while watching District 9.
