help sales help you

does anyone feel like a boring cook once in a while? i definitely do. i find myself cooking the same kinds of things all the time with very little variation.

that's where sales come in. when fun things come up on sale i try and seize the moment and get creative while fun things are cheap! stop throwing away your sale ads and add some variation to your meals.

here's my most recent "varied" creation. this isn't terribly uncommon in the normal world, but it is in my house! the stars aligned and the right ingredients came on sale and viola! the combination of flavors was soooo wow!!

chicken avocado pitas







large, thin whole wheat pitas (i got a bag of 6 for $1! - that was my fun sale item!)
shredded/chunked chicken (sliced turkey would be good too!)
sliced avocado, lightly salted
sprouts
1/3 less fat cream cheese
any other veggies you want (my husband wanted tomatoes too!)

1. slice pita in half and open carefully.
2. spread a thin layer of cream cheese inside. layer sprouts on top of cream cheese so they don't fall out, then stuff with avocado and chicken.
3. mmm... enjoy!

  2. We had a very similar lunch today on a camping trip. Avocado AND cream cheese together is like heaven to me :)

  4. where in the store did you get the pitas? we eat pitas regularly but they don't look as good as those!
