I was running late this morning and didn't have time to pack my lunch so I figured I would stop at the Pick n Save in Waupaca and pick up a salad. (I work in Waupaca) Most Pick n Saves now have an open salad bar with all sorts of fruits and veggies.
Noon rolled around and I headed to the store to find they did not have a salad bar. I looked around in their produce area and located a pre-made salad with romanine lettuce, tomatoes a little crab meat and egg slices. It looked pretty fresh and healthy so I grabbed it along with a container of mixed raspberries.
I got back to work and gobbled it down like I usually do during a lunch hour and thought to myself, "Hey that was pretty good!"
I then proceded to collect my empty container for the garbage and noticed the ingredients label on the bottom. Glancing at it, I expected to see "romaine, tomato, crab, egg, carrot..." To my suprise I found something quite different...
WHAT THE?????
I was amazed at all the wierd stuff listed. I sure didn't "see" that stuff in it.
Where did it come from?
Lesson learned. - Don't buy pre-packaged even if it looks fresh.
When I got home from work I decided to try a black bean burger recipe. The ingredients were simple: black beans, salsa, carrots, and oatmeal - blenderize it, patty it, bake it. They turned out really good but the majority of the household was afraid to try it. Finally Margaret tried it when I told her it tasted like refried beans - which she loves! She ate it. SCORE! She was then rewarded with a glass of rich, chocolately almond milk. :)
