Yummy wraps

I have been making these for lunch almost every day lately. They are so simple and delicious. It may sound a little strange, but try it - it's really flavorful!

Ingredients (for one wrap):
1 wrap (I've been using whole wheat wraps, they're actually pretty good)
cream cheese
4 slices of turkey (I buy the thin slices)
spinach leaves
crasins or dried cherries (I've been using crasins, but they are both yummy)
sprouts

Directions:
1. Spread the cream cheese on the wrap. Spread it all over, in my opinion, the more the better! I like a semi-thick layer.
2. Lay the turkey slices down the middle of the wrap. I have found that four is a good amount to get from the top to the bottom. I overlap them a little.
3. Lay a layer of spinach leaves over the turkey.
4. Put the Crasins (or dried cherries) on top of the spinach. I like to use a pretty good handful. I think the Crasins give it a lot of good flavor so I like to make sure and pile them in there.
5. Spread a layer of sprouts on top.
6. Wrap it like you would a burrito. I like to tuck the ends under so that none of the Crasins escape.
7. Enjoy! I like to make this and eat it while the boys are down for quiet time. I think it is a very "adult" lunch (and sooooo yummy)!

Delicious Summer Salad

I had this salad at Panara Bread while Mom Peterson was visiting we decided to make it at home and modify it just a bit. It was delicious! It is like a meal and desert all in one.
- strawberries
-blueberries
-small can of pineapple tidbits
-small can of mandarin oranges
-2 cooked and seasoned chicken breasts chopped
-bag of baby spinach
-2 oz bag of pecans
-poppy seed dressing
Toss all the above ingredients, except the dressing, in a salad bowl. Serve and top with poppy seed dressing. This salad is so good and so easy, you should try it.
