Healthy Lunches for the Family

Part of changing my eating habits is changing my families eating habits. So for my husband Dave I like to have several good options for him to choose from before he goes to school. It can range from trail mix and a granola bar with an apple to Dave's favorite go to choice, a turkey sandwich.

Peppered Turkey sandwich:

(from the deli counter) Jennie-O peppered turkey breast thinly sliced

1Tbsp. whipped fat free cream cheese, or cheese of your preference (1 slice)

red leaf lettuce

2 slices of all natural whole grain bread

Now, this is usually where it stops for Dave, but if you add more veggies it doesn't add hardly any calories, but fills you up more and gives great vitamins.

So, in the past here is what I have tried:

thinly sliced green bell peppers

pickles (sweet or dill)

cucumbers sliced

roasted red bell peppers

sliced red onion

tomato (roma, or on the vine)

So gather your ingredients and build your creation. Now either sit down, and enjoy it right then, or take it one step further and place on a grill pan to toast the bread and melt the cheese. Delicious! It's easy, pretty inexpensive, family friendly, and very tasty. It sure beats a lean cuisine meal.
