Hmmmmmmm
I know I'm PostyMcPostPants today. :)
Last night I discovered something at BJs. I was taking a slow walk around, looking at everything trying to get some new ideas for food and prep. While in the Meats section, considering if I should get hot dogs or not (decided against the HUGE pack, and decided if I needed to have them I'd get a smaller pack at the regular store. Same thing with the baked beans. I'm having a craving for the comfort food of my youth - the sodium calorie filled comfort food *snerk*) I found some other meat cuts. Specifically the ends of their deli meats. I knew S&S does this - the cut the meat down to as far as they can go with machine then sell the ends. You can do your own slicing or whatever it is you'd do with an end of meat "ball"
In this case - it's the Buffalo Turkey I've fallen in love with. It's enough kick, when mixed with mustard to make a sandwich spicy. There were a couple of big ends in the mix. I bought a $10 which I've already cut into big chunks, that will be cut into smaller bite sized pieces for my salads I'm trying to add to my eating mix. I SHOULD get at least 10 salads with meat on them from this. An I can go back and get different meats!
I know there's more sodium and whatnot in deli meats, but this way I'm using LESS than I would on a sandwich, kicking up my salad and not eating the bread that goes with it. AND IT"S SO GOOD! What I SHOULD do is measure them out into servings, in big chunks, so I can just cut them up small and fresh when I'm ready for them.
I think I'm going to have another serving of salad sans meats (with cheese!!!) and that should do me til dinner. I need to clean out that fridge too.
