Now that Thanksgiving is over; Let the shopping begin

I’m just kidding, of course. Although in previous years, I did get up early (3:00am) to catch a few of those shopping bargains on Black Friday.

What I’m actually talking about is all of those turkey leftovers you probably have in your refrigerator. Because turkey takes so long to cook in the oven, it’s quite common for many of you to have purchased an extra large turkey just to have leftovers. I know I used to do this. The leftovers often make the best part of the holiday meal.

How about this delicious turkey sandwich, great for a quick lunch after a hard day’s shopping:

Turkey Sandwich	Nutrition Information
2 slices of multi-grain bread	Calorie:	310
1/2 cup shredded romaine lettuce	Carbohydrate:	28.59g
1/2 T reduced calorie mayonnaise	Protein:	31.87g
1 tsp. mustard	Fiber:	4.81g
A few jalapeno peppers	Fat:	7.62g
4 slices of red tomatoes	Saturated Fat:	1.67g
3 oz. of roasted turkey

Since many of you already know what to do with your turkey leftovers, it’s my sincerest hope and wish that you’re enjoying this time to reflect on those things that you’re thankful for and being able to spend this time with your loved ones.

That being said, now, it’s probably time for everybody to do a little shopping, because

After all, it’s about a healthy lifestyle!

My children went to see the documentary at the theater. After watching this, they plan to improve their shopping even more. I will eventually see it at least when it comes to DVD so I can forward some animal slaughter parts... :(
