Salad Burittos

so, i didn't feel like cooking but I had a bunch of salad stuff, so this baby was born:

It's Romaine salad mix, sliced almonds, white mushroom, a strawberry, sprinkle of feta cheese, drizzled with Raspberry Hazelnut vinaigrette dressing and wrapped in a tortilla. I made two, but it was really pretty filling, so I only ate one of them.

I've been really craptastic about creating and following menus the last couple of weeks! I'm going to really have to get myself together - otherwise i can totally see my slacking off more and more as the weather gets better!

anyway - on to the food!


I'm not going to bother with Sunday - Tuesday, because, well, they're over and done with. :-)


Wednesday: chicken stir fry with brown rice.

Thursday: grilled chicken salad

Friday:  pork chops with salad and maybe an orzo side dish.
