White Chicken Soup

I modified a recipe I found in one of my favorite cooking magazines and came up with this delicious soup.  So good, everyone had seconds and everyone wanted thirds!

• 1 40 oz. can navy beans, drained
• 2 10 oz. cans white meat chicken, drained
• 1 1/2 cups skim milk
• 1 tsp salt-free seasoning
• 1 cup fat-free sour cream
• 1 tsp Cayenne, or more to taste
• 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

Add all ingredients except cheese to a large stockpot.  Heat over medium-high heat until just boiling.  Add the cheese and stir until melted.  Serve hot.  Approximately 8 servings.

Thursday lunch

Enjoy a yummy Greek Salad today!  I’m headed to the dentist, which I’m sure I will NOT enjoy.

Tuna Salad

For today’s lunch, we’re going to have tuna salad.  If you like, and if you have any around, you can have a wrap using a whole-grain tortilla instead of serving the tuna on lettuce.

BLT Salad

BLT Salad

• 4 slices turkey bacon, chopped
• salad greens
• 1 tomato, diced
• 1 sliced whole grain bread
• low-fat mayo

Fry the turkey bacon pieces until nice and crisp.  Meanwhile, cover a plate with salad greens.  Sprinkle bacon and diced tomato over the salad.  Toast the slice of bread, then thinly spread mayo on one side.  Cut the toast into bite-size bits and sprinkle over the salad.  Enjoy!
