Spicy, Cheesy, Crunchy Turkey Melt

I think today I found a new way to relieve stress.  I am not saying I recommend it, but, it did wonders for me today.  I had an appointment with my aesthetician for a brow wax.  I LOVE her because she is just so passionate about life and things.  I seriously think I vented about my stresses (translation – work!)  the entire 15 minute session while she ripped my eyelids off.  Surprisingly, I felt a sense of relief after……The thing is I am not sure if it  was the ranting or the waxing, but, next time you feel stressed – try it 😀 LOL….

I couldn’t wait to get back to have lunch.  I dreamt this up last night after we grilled up those Jennie-O Southwestern Turkey Loins.

 

1 sliced of Trader Joe’s 3-seeded bread

2 BIG Tbsp Trader Joe’s Roasted Red Pepper Spread

1 organic summer squash sliced

4 thin slices of the Jennie-O Southwestern Turkey Loins

1 slice Tillamook Pepper Jack Cheese

All heated in the microwave for 1 minute until the cheese was all melty.

YUM!!!  This sandwich had so many layers of flavor – it honestly was amazing!  I LOVED the spiciness of the cheese, spread and meat with the crunch of the squash and the nuttiness of the seeds.  For some extra crunch, I had a big handful of Mr. Krispers Sour Cream & Onion Rice Chips – YUM!  I officially LOVE all their flavors!

Dessert was a bunch of sweet, crisp watermelon.

 

All together on my super cool plate that my friend got me awhile ago.  I honestly think I had a little bit of “food” happiness as I ate this today.

   

This afternoon when I opened the freezer the Haagen Daaz bars TOLD ME I had to have one ~ it’s summer and you should eat ice cream every day!  Ok, well, maybe that was the voices in my head, but, I had another snack bar ~ so good!

I have been working hard at using what we have in the fridge, freezer and the pantry.  I even purposely didn’t go to the grocery store last weekend which is rare for me.  I am a weekly shopper.  I plan out my meals for the week, shop for them and then attempt to make them all week.  I am actually starting to see things move down – yeah!

Dinner tonight is based on using up what we have in the house ~ check back to see how I used up our tomatoes.
