A Fun and Simple Lunch

If you saw the article in the Abilene Reporter News about Meatless Mondays and were wanting more information about our lunch that Scott mentioned, I have added some pictures and information below.

Here's my attempt at an "artsy" shot:

















Here is an overhead shot that shows everything on my plate:
















As you can see, it is pretty easy to make and to eat.  One of the goals of this lunch was to allow us the flexibility to serve our customers and still eat a lunch.  Another goal was to avoid that "stuffed", "sleepy/zombie" feeling after lunch.  So far, the last couple of weeks have been great and our pocketbook has thanked us.  Plus, our energy is up!! 

You do not have to do it our way, be creative, pick things that you like.  I will list everything you see in the photo and also include some other foods we have tried and want to try.  Enjoy!

In the photo:
Sliced Salami - we do not always go meatless at lunch
Wheat Thins
Mixed Nuts
Cheese
Toasted Pita Chips
Olives
Vegetables (broccoli, sweet peppers, carrots, radishes, sugar snap peas)
Ranch Dressing Dip

Other ideas:
Olive Oil and Balsamic instead of Ranch
Fresh Fruit
Granola
Trail Mix
Pickles
Goat Cheese and Crackers
Humus

Good luck and let us know what you decide to do, we are always looking for new ideas.
