Ragnar Las Vegas Relay

On November 9th I will be running in the Ragnar Las Vegas Relay.  They have teamed up with  St. Baldrick's Foundation to raise money for researching Childhood Cancers.  If you would like to donate please go here to do so.  All the funds go to the research not to me or the team.

Filling Lunch

You know you want to eat a healthy lunch but you do not want to spend a fortune at the local salad bar.  You do not want to spend your whole life making a salad during lunch.  What to do?  I have found there are some simple ingredients to make a quick and tasty salad.  I go to my local supermarket (Safeway or Costco).  I buy a weeks worth of tomatoes - usually 10 to 15.  I get some chicken sausage (10 to 15). A bag of broccoli florets.  A bag of broccoli slaw. (just raw slaw no dressing) 2 boxes of baby kale.  It takes me 3 or 4 minutes to make a huge salad.  The salad takes about 30 to 40 minutes to eat.  You will be full at the end.  You will also have plenty of protein and carbs. Here are pictures of me making the salad.
Above are my ingredients. 
Next I cut up the sausage.


I put it in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes 20 seconds.

While the sausage is cooking I put broccoli on my plate.  Usually I put more broccoli, but you put what you want.

Then I cut the tomatoes in 8ths. and arrange them on the plate

Like this:

I add kale on top or broccoli slaw on top or both.

Now the sausage is ready. I put the sausage on top.
You can add some salad dressing.
