Food Friday: Turkey Hummus Wraps

I have a great recipe for you today.  Nice and easy and a great snack!  Let's get on to the show.

You will want to gather the ingredients.  I also happened to have a super awesome boyfriend who cut up my cucumbers perfectly.  BTW the super awesome boyfriend isn't a required ingredient but it makes it much nicer. ;)

First you want to start with the turkey.  I laid mine out on tin foil for easy clean up.

Second you want to slather on some hummus.  I didn't put on too much because I was not sure how messy it would end up being.  Feel free to put more.

Now place the cucumbers.  I felt that two was the perfect amount because I wanted to still be able to fold the turkey into a roll.

Next put the red peppers.  I love red peppers so I decided to put on a handful.  They were also sliced fairly thin to allow for the aforementioned folding.

Now the final veggie is the green bean.  I know it seems silly to add in green beans but I really like them.  Cooked, steamed, raw, whatever.  It will add a little bit of crispy crunch.

The last step is to roll the turkey up.  I also cut mine in half so they were easier to handle when eating.

And here they are in their packaged glory!  Don't they just look so delish?!  I have to say they were very very good.  It was the perfect "I am hungry but not hungry enough for a meal".

I did notice that after they sat in the refridge over night they became a little watery.  I am not exactly sure which component was responsible for the wateriness.  It might be a good idea to place them on a paper towel.  Or to completely solve that problem, you could just eat them right away. :)

Enjoy the ease of a yummy snack!

P.S. I made it a whole week of postings!!!!  Yay maybe I can make it two!

Gluten-Free Food Review - Jet Blue Shape Up!

As Jon and I were planning our trip to New York we had to decide what airline to book.  It ended up that Jet Blue was the cheapest.  Fine but what goodies did you get on the flight?

We found out that they have boxes of snacks that you can buy.  In reading around Jon found out that one of them was gluten-free!  I knew that I had to buy one on our way to New York and maybe one on the way back...

Once at the airport I was supposed to ask about the gluten-free box when I checked in.  Nope, forgot.  I got to the gate and asked then.  The lady had no idea what I was talking about and said that if the flight was too short they wouldn't do snacks.  Ummm, no snacks?!  I was ready to pitch a fit but Jon told me to wait until we got on the plane to speak with the stewardesses.

I asked for the Shape Up box once the snacks were announced.  THEY HAD THEM!!!!  I think the cost was about $5 to $6.

I was so excited and happy!  Of course I had to take pictures of the whole thing!

I wad dying to get into the box but an obligatory photo first.

I opened it and I about screamed!  I loved everything in there and couldn't wait.  And there was even a word search!!

There was hummus and crackers (which I have had the crackers before).  The hummus was plain but very good.

There were olives, but they were green.  I was not sure about them at first as I normally don't like them at all.

I thought the information on the back was interesting.

I decided to go for it since I had bought them.  I found that they didn't have quite the green olive taste that I hated.  By the time I got to the end of them I wished I had another baggie of them!  I want to try to find them so I can bring them for snacks at work.

There was a box of raisins and a bag of almonds.  I decided I could save those for later since I had some in my trail mix I had made for the trip.

I was excited to see a cookie.  It was by Pamela's (a brand I am familiar with).  I was pleasantly surprised at how good and fresh it tasted.  I am not exactly the biggest fan of their products.

They even sneaked a mint in there for when you were done.  I saved that too. :)

Oh and yes, I did do the word search. :)

Later on in the flight they did the free snack.  I always get annoyed with the free snacks because most of the times it is something I really shouldn't have.  Well this time they had something I knew I could.

I LOVE Terra Chips.  I had never seen blue ones and had to have them.

They were awesome.  I want to not only find the blue chips but also find blue potatoes... anyone know where I could find some?

So if you are in need of an airline with definite gluten-free snacks Jet Blue is the one.

Happy traveling!

Pinterest Pick - Hummus

Publix had a buy one get one sale on Sabra Hummus this past week.  I tried their Roasted Red Pepper Hummus on the way back home from GA and I LOVED it.  So I may be on a bit of a kick now... I have eaten it just about every day this week...

So it is only appropriate that my Pinterest Pick this week would be hummus.

But not just any kind of hummus, but sweet potato hummus.  Here is the pin link.  But it appears to have come from this blog.  I am not sure how I would like it being a little spicy and sweet, but I think I really want to try it!!  I will have to see if I can find all of the ingredients at the grocery the next time I go.

I do have to say that in checking out the websites I think I may have to try out a few of the recipes the Pinterest link brings you...

Hope you are enjoying your Saturday!  We are checking out houses today and I am praying we find a good one!
