Starting simple

Okay, tonight I am starting simple. Why? Two reasons:

1. It was 99 degrees when I left work at 4:30, there is no way I am even thinking about turning on the microwave

2. I'm cooking for just me, not my husband, so I don't go all out.

So, what did I have? I opened a bag of pre-cut and mixed salad (lettuce, carrots, red cabbage). I tried this new salad dressing spritzer. It's a balsamic dressing and it was delicious! I added the rest of the croutons we had as well. This was no small little bowl, this is what the restaurants call a large salad.

I do have to say, I am a new fan of these spritzers. I am definitely going to be trying out the other flavors but they have me sold. They say that a serving size is 10 spritzes. I figured with the size of my salad, I would be using more. Actually, I almost didn't even use ten! It dispenses plenty of dressing; and is very tasty.

So, how does this meal score:
Appropriate for temperature 5 out of 5
Filling 4 out of 5 (I did get the munchies a bit later)
Healthy 3 out of 5 I definitely did not have all the food groups represented, but I had enough the rest of the day
