My husband and I have started to change our eating habits. Which means we have given up a lot food items that have always been a normal thing to see in our cupboards, like white bread, crackers, regular pasta and so on. We now eat only whole grain breads, the higher the grain the better we like it, like the 15 grain and so on. Well, one morning I started to fix an egg and the thing looked so unappetizing laying there beat to death in the bowel that I got out a whole wheat soft taco shell, warmed it in the microwave, added ham, cheese and onion to my pan. Smeared a light coat of salsa on the taco shell, poured my cooked scrambled egg mixture onto the shell, rolled it and it was delicious. Since then I have been using the whole wheat soft taco shells in the place of my slice of bread just to have a little variety. It's almost lunch so I had a ham and cheese with onion and lettuce roll-up. I try to use as little mayonnaise as possible so I substitute a little mustard instead. I like spicy mustard and cocktail sauce, my husband like regular mustard and tarter sauce. I bought a small bottle of prepared horseradish, added it to a small bowl of regular mustard for my spicy mustard. If we're having seafood, I add a little to ketchup. What I need are more healthy sandwich ideas. When we started this eating program, we weren't allowed any bread, pasta or potatoes of any kind during the first two weeks. I satisfied my sandwich needs by wrapping up what ever I would have put on bread into a leaf of romaine lettuce. No it wasn't bread by any means, but it served it's purpose and was quite satisfying. And the thing about romaine lettuce is it has a distinct flavor over iceberg lettuce, yet is isn't over powering. I like celery, but it can have a pretty domineering flavor that will overpower other flavors, about the only snack I can think of that competes real good is peanut butter. Any feed-back will be greatly appreciated.
