num yummy

have you seen the commercial where the kid is going around getting names for the new name plates? he stops and asks a man, who is eating his campbells soup, what his name is and the guy says "num yummy". of course he is commenting on how good his soup is and not what his name is, but none the less the next day when he comes in his office name plate says "num yummy".

anyway, today i had my own num yummy lunch that i had to share with you. yesterday mom and i went to lunch and she had a chicken salad sandwich. i have been thinking about chicken salad since. then, while making lunch and dreading the chicken i was cooking, it came to me. i woud make my own slim4life chicken salad. YAY! so here is what i did, and not to toot my own horn... but-a *BEEP BEEP* it was GREAT!

6oz of chicken that has been marinated in italian caesar dressing then cooked in a skillet on stove top. put the chicken in a food processor with one celery stalk sliced up. pulse that until it is your desired consistency. add 1 tbs of vinegar (this isn't necessary but since i am trying to flush out bad choices from last week i wanted to make sure i got it in there), 2 tbs of fat free ranch dressing, and mls and pepper. you could use your fat serving of mayo with this too but since you only get 1 tsp of mayo and you can have up to 2 tbs of fat free dressing, i went with the dressing. i also threw in a bit of regular mustard for kicks (mustard is the only condiment that they really don't restrict) and to enhance the consistency. mix all this up and enjoy. i paired this with once slice of bread and even threw some cucumbers in at the end. you could make this a sandwich but i am saving a second starch for tonight's dinner and i enjoy chicken salad all by itself.

enjoy! let me know what you think if you try it!
