Answer
How about Turkey Roll Ups-
INGREDIENTS
1 (8 ounce) package fat-free cream cheese
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
1 medium onion, chopped
10 (1 ounce) slices cooked deli turkey breast
Shredded lettuce
DIRECTIONS
In a small mixing bowl, combine the first six ingredients; beat until smooth. Spread over the tortillas. Sprinkle with onion; top with turkey and lettuce. Roll up tightly jelly-roll style; serve immediately.
Nutritional Analysis: One serving (1 each) equals 259 calories, 9 g fat (2 g saturated fat), 17 mg cholesterol, 701 mg sodium, 33 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber, 13 g protein. Diabetic Exchanges: 2 starch, 1 lean meat, 1 fat.
Grilled Sourdough Cheese Sandwich
Sourdough bread
Butter
Chedder Cheese
Havarti Cheese
Tomato Slices
Oragano
Butter each side of the bread, On one slice place a layer of Havarti cheese, then tomato slices, followed by Chedder Cheese slices then the other slice of bread. Brown in a warm skillet sprayed with pam.
Otherwise you could always do a fresh garden salad with veggies.
Or kids always love a veggie tray with carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, etc.. and then having a bunch of dipping sauces like ranch, peanut butter, whatever salad dressing they like, honey mustard, cheese...
Hope that helps!
