My baby is back from Camp

We picked up my sweet boy, Christian, Saturday evening from his week at camp. And just as we thought, he had no money, he was exhausted, had a really interesting odor to him and had the time of his life! He immediately jumped into the shower which I am sure was 35 minutes long. After that he gave me a blow by blow account of his wonderful week of being up in the mountains in the midst of fun and frolic with his friends. His counselor was his Jr. High school pastor, Josh, who Christian views as pretty much the most awesome person on the planet! He roomed with some great boys from church and in his view all got along great including his best friend from babyhood, Joe F. I am so glad that he loved it. When asked why he never bothered to call home, he merely answered...."Why"?

Who needs Daphne's?

Okay, here is my latest lunch obsession. First of all, besides Mexican food I absolutely love Greek/Mediterranean food. Bring on the hummus and Kalamata olives! Besides loving food I am always trying to look for ways to cut calories and fat. Daphne's Greek Cafe has this amazing chicken sandwich in a pita that I can't seem to stay clear of for very long. But when I looked at the nutrition guide on this particular item I fell off my chair...well, not really but close. I then decided to make my own version of this. Checking out pita breads was my first challenge. The best one in my opinion is the Western Bagel Alternative Pita, being very low in calories and fat, and really high in fiber. I then smear Tzatsiki sauce from Trader Joe's (cucumber and yogurt sauce) on top of the pita, then place cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, a few Kalamata's, and avocado slices on top of the sauce....Delicious and filling!!
