Gangsta Wraps
My wraps are gangsta because they're the shiz-nit (that's right, I went there). I made two yesterday (three, counting one for my lunch today) because I'm currently obsessed with Flat-Out Bread Wraps. Some kinds are 100 calories per serving, have lots of fiber and protien, and really are quite tasty. Here are the wraps from yesterday:
Breakfast Broccoli Wrap
After eating this at about 8am, I was not hungry in the slightest until 12:30, 1pm or so.
- handful of cooked broccoli, chopped into small bits
- two eggs
- one slice Swiss cheese, cut or torn into small pieces
- one whole-grain Flat-Out Wrap
- salt and pepper to taste
Warm broccoli in non-stick pan. Add eggs, scramble lightly. Add Swiss pieces. Cook long enough for cheese to melt. Scrape out of pan, onto wrap. Add salt and pepper to taste. Roll and eat!
Quick, Summer's Almost Over Wrap
I'm doing my best to eat every last bit of summery good food before the season ends. So for dinner last night, I had the following:
- one small cooked chicken breast, diced
- one small tomato, diced
- 1/3 small eggplant, cooked and diced (I'd grilled mine the night before)
- 1/3 of a large ball of fresh mozzarella
- 1 T. Trader Joe's (or any) Sundried Tomato Bruschetta spread (also includes green and black olives)
Heat all in the microwave. Throw into Italian Herb Flat-out Wrap. Fold and devour.
Protein & Veg Wrap
This is my lunch for today. I'm very excited.
- whatever kind of wrap I used, can't remember
- squirt of mustard
- 1.5 T hummus
- Italian-seasoned roast beef, appx. 4 oz.
- one slice Muenster cheese
- half a handful of (hopefully uninfested with e. coli) salad mix
- 1/4 red pepper, sliced into strips
- 1/4 cucumber, seeds removed, sliced into strips
Spread mustard, hummus on wrap. Throw on all other items. Roll.
I will be getting more creative as time goes on, I promise. I have a few recipes that are in a holding pattern, waiting for me to get to the farmer's market!

Erin, how do you grill your eggplant? Literally on the grill or do you do some kind of broiling? I used to grill eggplants on my outside grill....but I don't have one anymore and am desparate for a delicious way to cook EP.
I usually just use my broiler. I've also found that baking them at really high heat works well too - I think that, for this set of eggplant, I was broiling meat in the broiler, and I put the 'plant in the oven part to bake at the same time. The heat is high enough to resemble grilling, but you don't get the nice sear marks. It'll do in a pinch.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Keep on rubbing in Trader Joe's; it's okay that I'm (and maybe ATP too) stuck w/ Kroger that does cavity searches if you try to buy Sudafed and, let's not forget, Super Wal-mart. Seriously, though, about the Sudafed... when my signature didn't match the one on my license, the pharmacist made me resign. I know that I fit the profile, it's an out-of-state license, and it's a huge problem around here, but come ON.
Oh girl, I had to go to Northern VA to get to Trader Joe's. No no, I'm here with Weis. There's a farmer's market (with LOTS of Amish vendors, so you know it's authentic), but it's only open Thurs - Sun at weird hours. I meant to bring my camera when I went just now, but I forgot. Photos and a description of my average trip coming soon!
