I found these Flatout Wraps in the depths of my freezer and have been loving them lately. I have a ton of groceries right now due to all my excursions to farmer’s markets and the asian grocery store, so I’m trying to use up what I have before going to the store again. So today, I got a little creative with my lunch and it worked out great.
To start, I had a flatout wrap with spinach from the farmer’s market and 1/2 serving of soy tempeh. When I was packing my lunch this morning, I wanted something else for the wrap to give it some flavor and fun when I spotted the leftover breakfast corn and potato hash from Monday morning. I grabbed it and decided it would make a good addition to the wrap because it tastes so good!
I had two large carrots on the side, but forgot toothpicks to hold this massive wrap together.
My fingers worked just fine. 🙂
I also threw together a random little radish salad last night, where I took 6 radishes (also from the Farmer’s Market) added some rice vinegar, a little salt, and a tiny drizzle of evoo. Because it sat overnight, the red from the outside of the radish bled into the insides, so the whole salad was pink.
It was delicious, but next time I’d make it in the morning so it was easier to look at. For “dessert” I had some fresh strawberries.
It was a delicious, satisfying, and colorful lunch!
What did/will you have for lunch today? Looking for some inspiration. 🙂

May 19, 2010 at 3:04 pm (10 years ago)I haven’t had spinach all week and I swear I’m starting to get the shakes because of it… lol.
That’s an awesome wrap! I had one as well- but alas, my fresh foods in my refrigerator are dwindling, so I settled for another tuna wrap. Not bad, though.

May 19, 2010 at 4:05 pm (10 years ago)Pretty good for frozen pizzas, the crust is very thin (which is how I like it anyway) and the nutrition stats are pretty good! I especially like the roasted veggie and mexican pizzas-instead of tomato sauce, it’s a black bean sauce!

May 19, 2010 at 5:01 pm (10 years ago)Today I had a “baked” sweet potato (can it still be called baked when I cooked it in the microwave?) and I topped it with a cup of delicious organic adzuki beans. It was such a wonderful combination. So good, in fact, I’m thinking about bringing it again tomorrow.
Your wrap looks great! I love the addition of the hash. Brilliant!
Beth
May 19, 2010 at 5:02 pm (10 years ago)sweet potato + black beans = my favorite combo EVER. try adding some goat cheese, pineapple salsa, or feta!
I’ve never tried adzuki beans but i looooooove all beans so I’m sure they’d be right up my alley!

May 19, 2010 at 8:28 pm (10 years ago)That is a huge wrap!! I think your radish salad is quite pretty, actually 🙂 Today I had leftover homemade pizza for lunch – yum!

May 19, 2010 at 9:27 pm (10 years ago)Ah what a fabulously colorful post of eats! I just had radishes for the first time (in me house, I always get ’em at Mexican parties with the soups at other awesome people’s homes, so gooood!) today and I really thought I ought to buy ’em more often. LOVE the idea of a mini pink salad. Do they hold their crunch? It’s my favorite part 😀
