Turkey Wraps

This is a favorite of ours when the weather is HOT HOT HOT. I got the recipe from a roommate in college that used to fix fabulous things for us all the time. It takes 5 minutes to come together and no cooking whatsoever. Just reading through the recipe, they don't sound too different or exciting, but they really taste great!! Even my kids gobble them. We often wrap them in tin foil and they travel great for packed lunches or picnics.

Ingredients:

flour tortillas

turkey lunch meat

provolone cheese slices, or your favorite cheese to go with turkey

cream cheese

baby spinach leaves

tomato, thinly sliced

salt/pepper, to taste

Spread cream cheese very lightly over the tortilla, then lay the rest of the ingredients down the center. Roll it up like a burrito and enjoy!

Cold chicken salad sandwichs

Great for picnics, to have on hand with crackers and cheese, or anytime you want a quick snack.

Ingredients: (all these amounts are approximates since I never measure anything)

• 4 chicken breasts cooked (either boil them or buy a cooked chicken at the grocery and use the whole chicken instead of just breast meat). cut into cubes or slices when cool, then shred into large bowl. Add:
• 1/2 Cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 chopped fine red onion or green onion stems (optional for you onion haters)
• 1/2-1 Cup (depending on how creamy you want the salad) mayonaise or light mayo...can use fat free
• 1 or 2 tsp/s yellow mustard (to taste)
• Pepper and other spices (sometimes I add a little red pepper powder) to taste

Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated. Refrigerate until served. I like to use wheat bread or potato rolls. Another good bread with this is the costco bakery "rosemary and olive oil" bread cut into slices...add the chicken salad and a slice of cheese (any kind), bake open faced in the oven until cheese melts, then put the sandwich back together and serve...very good!
