Harney & Sons Green Tea
Added ice for iced green tea
Love the Harney & Sons green tea because it has lemongrass in it, which adds good flavor without adding anything to the tea. Thanks Cie!!! She got me this big box as part of my birthday gift.

Lunch
Flight Attendant Taco Salad

1 pound Lean Ground Turkey 1 package low sodium taco seasoning 1 can no-salt added corn 1 can red kidney beans- drained and rinsed 4.5 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage w/ shredded carrots) 1/2 c. TJ lite shredded three cheese blend 2 Roma tomatoes 1 avocado 1/4 cup fat free catalina dressing Brown the turkey and add the seasoning. Mix all ingredients together in a large pot. 1.5 cups = 243.4 calories This taco salad is good to pack for lunch because it is great cold. I also like to make this for pot lucks because I can make a large pot ahead of time and just add the dressing at the last minute. It is easy to change the recipe to add things you like or to take away ingredients. Green onions, olives, cilantro are all great to add. I also like this salad dry with no dressing or you can also add TJ multigrain Tortilla chips (comes in a blue bag) crushed on top (28g=130 calories).

Made two batches of this taco salad one to take to the fire station to see my husband who is working and one to take for my friend who just had a baby. I like this because it is easy to make and can be served cold.



So excited we got to go on a call with them. Not the best picture of my husband, but he is the one with the bald head. So hot!

Rosanne and I freaking out about going on a call. It is always so exciting!
