And it continues!!!

Another quick creation tonight for dinner. One of my favorites now, it was so simple but so delicious. Once again this came from two places. The fact that we still had some cooked salmon leftover and the new Flat Out Light Italian Herb Flatbread Wrap I came across at the store the other day. That wrap caught my eye because it was low in cal had decent protein and they showed a pizza made from it. I was sold! I'm a sucker for pizza, my one favorite junk food. Seriously I could eat it for days. But enough of that! So I decided now would be a good time to put them together. The sauce was simple I saw someone on Instagram do something similar and thought it would be awesome in the wrap. Threw some spinach in it and bam!



Salmon Flatbread Wrap:
-1 Flat Out wrap
-4.3 oz. Cooked salmon, shredded into chunks
-1 tbsp. Plain nonfat Greek yogurt 
-2 tsp. Asian hot sauce (or however much you would like the spice level to be)
-1 c. Spinach

Heat the wrap up slightly lay the spinach along the center. Top with the spinach. Mix the yogurt and hot sauce together then dollop it over the salmon. Roll and enjoy!! 
Seriously can't get any easier!! I whipped this up before anyone even realized I was having dinner. Ate it just as quickly too!

And there's more!!! At least tonight there was because I still hadn't ate enough throughout the day. Yeah I'm still getting used to saying that and the whole ordeal of that being possible haha. So I decided there was room for dessert. Greek yogurt  with strawberries and cereal. Originally I wanted it to be more like ice cream but I didn't have enough time to leave it in the freezer, bad thing about the last minute ideas. I don't like to eat past 9 unless I have to so I took it out of the freezer 20 min later, little after 8. It still wasn't quite there. Topped it with 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries and 2 tbsp of crushed up vanilla Special K. It is something I like to add to my yogurts for crunch and texture. My dessert ended up at 118 calories, .5g fat, 18g carbs, and 13g protein. Not bad and very tasty. All in all it was a very good night for my pallet and stomach.




Another Lettuce Wrap

Yes, I went there again and the very next day. The first one was such a success that I had to give it a shot again. Plus we have a bunch if Romaine Lettuce Heads that are going to go bad before we know it. So I did a good thing in using them up and making up a yummy meal. This one was very easy for me since my dad had already cooked some salmon the night before. All I did was grill up some veggies for a side and some pineapple chunks to top the wraps. This one just came to me when I thought about the pineapple and salmon. So here they are:


Easy Salmon Lettuce Wraps
-5 oz. cooked salmon, shredded/crumbled
-1/4 c. Grilled pineapple chunks, finely diced
-2 tsp. Kikoman Sesame Teriyaki Sauce
-4 Romaine Lettuce Leaves 

Spread the salmon evenly into the lettuce leaves. Then proceed to top the salmon with the pineapple and drizzle the sauce over them. Done!! Well unless you want a kick then add some Siracha like I did. Enjoy!
