Overall, the heat is not my friend.\u00a0 It energizes some people, but it drains my energy.\u00a0 This week, I have been drinking various smoothies<\/a> (thanks Serena!) for breakfast.\u00a0 For lunch, my new favorite things are healthy turkey lettuce wraps using romaine lettuce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I REALLY like alfalfa sprouts!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My husband Reggie constantly wonders aloud how I could have been raised in the south.\u00a0We have been married nine years, but I still have to explain to him that there are different types of heat.\u00a0 Virginia heat is not as humid as NYC heat and<\/strong> the air tends to be cleaner in Virginia.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, I made a vow to myself that I would not complain about the heat this summer.\u00a0 Instead, I\u2019m focusing on the great aspects of the hot weather.\u00a0 One thing that I especially like is that my appetite lessens significantly when it\u2019s hot outside, so eating lighter breakfasts and lunches is not a challenge.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it is cooler outside, I prefer soups<\/a>, chilis<\/a> and stews for lunch.\u00a0 I don\u2019t care for them during the warmer weather though.\u00a0 (There are plenty of cold soups, but I just have not really liked any of them that I have tasted to date.)\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wraps are simple, healthy lunch options with limitless options, so they work for me.\u00a0 They are basically sandwiches with no bread.\u00a0 I started making them one day when I happened to use up all of the bread with the kids\u2019 lunch sandwiches.\u00a0

I noticed that I didn\u2019t miss the bread, so I have just been leaving it off.\u00a0 The turkey wrap is my current favorite. I like to use romaine lettuce to make it since it\u2019s healthier than iceberg lettuce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
