only have a little bit of time...

but it's lunchtime!! and i am HUNGRY!

i ran home for lunch and was looking forward to my tuna sandwich. i had already prepared some tuna yesterday (sunday) so that i would have enough to make a few sandwiches during the week when i need to fix lunch quickly.

and it was delicious.. so yummy... (p.s. - those are my aunt's new flowers on the table. lots more in the backyard i'll have to showcase later)

i use the sara lee 45 calorie whole wheat bread which is an S/C value of 2/1. and of course there's the glass of refreshing sportea i love. we haven't gotten the shipment of more tea yet. this was the last pitcher i brewed yesterday. :( sure hoping it comes quickly.

how i made the tuna:

i drained two cans of tuna and dumped it in a bowl with two or three spoons of the olive oil mayo (figure if i'm gonna have fats i should have the good ones, right?) chopped up one celery stalk finely, some chopped fresh green onion just green parts (the bottoms have added sugar) couple squirts of dijon mustard, a spoonful or so of relish, one packet of truvia, little grind of pepper and pink himalayan salt and i think that may be about it.

next time i won't use the relish, it adds a tiny bit of sugar and i didn't like the relish in it so much. i don't think i'll add the dijon mustard next time either, if so just a tiny squirt not as much. however, i will be sure to slice up a boiled egg. i do like that in my tuna.

but i came home and toasted the bread put a little mayo on and then the tunafish and sliced up a fresh tomato and used some shredded lettuce we had in the fridge. it was so good i'm wishin i had another right now.

now, in jorge's book his tuna sandwich do-over has egg slices rather than the tomato. i believe this is because it saves you on the sugar count. however, i believe i needed a little boost of sugar 'cause yesterday i was feelin a little hypoglycemic. besides, i'm hoping to get as much of my sugars from natural fruits and veggies rather than junk foods and chocolate. tomatoes are so good for you and it was so fresh and delicious. i can't wait for my tomatoes to grow so i can pick my own.

then, another favorite find i have from trader joe's are these little crispy rounds of yummy

these little pita crackers are 0 grams of sugar and it is 1 serving of carb for 9 crackers which is plenty enough actually. so i had these crackers with some leftover spinach and artichoke dip my aunt made for her dinner party on friday evening. i counted the dip as a 1/0 S/C value. i'll post the recipe when i have time later because it has been a favorite at all our dinner parties and with this low of a count it'll be a great treat to whip up a bowl and keep in the fridge for the week.

the spinach artichoke dip with pita crackers is a quick, easy and delicious S/C value of 1/1
