Would be great with a simple side salad or with some tomato soup. Or if I'm really craving it during the week, I'll get the … [Read more...]
BLT Salad
So. I'm a 'salad-for-lunch-atarian.' I eat salads for lunch almost every day. 6.5 times a week. And the day that I don't have salad, I have bowl of black bean or vegetable soup. Really, just to keep from being burnt out on salads for lunch. I usually throw 2 to 3 veggies on top, depending on what's in the fridge from the sales that week.
