What's for Lunch Wednesday: Week 4&5 Belated

Fabulous Fajita Salad!
Week four's lunch was a spin on the traditional taco salad. It contained cucumbers, ttomatoes, ccarrots, marinated sirlion, and jack cheese on a bed of shredded romain and spinach, with a side of low fat sour cream to mix in.  This one really packs in the veggies and is so good that she doesn't even realize that I left out the chips! A side of sugar free apple sauce and a little homemade cupcake bite sends her off smiling and looking forward to lunchtime.

I had some whole wheat soba noodles just waiting around in the back of the pantry and decided it was time to give them a little love.  With a little left over steak (not much, just enough to taste), I sauteed it up with garlic, shredded carrots, green onions and snow peas.  At the the second tossed in a dash of stir fry sauce and the noodle and called it done!  This dish is great cold and goes well with just about anything.  Paired with a side of green grapes and blackberries and a "mama made" fortune cookie that also came out of the pantry that I just jazzed up with a quick chocolate dip and some sprinkles.  She loved this ensemble and told me that this lunch definitely needed to be done again!
