So remember my 7-day no sandwich challenge that began last Monday and ended yesterday?  Well…when Emily commented on my spinach, avocado and bacon wrap on Saturday I realized that I failed the challenge!  Whoops. I totally wasn’t even thinking when we went out for lunch.  DUH.  I was ONE DAY AWAY from successfully completing the challenge! Oh well, at least when I made my lunch at home I didn’t slip up?  Hopefully you guys aren’t too disappointed in me!

Since I screwed up on Saturday, I purposely did not have a sandwich for lunch today :)  Instead I had a salad with leftover chicken and some leftover spicy black-bean cakes.

 I only used 1/2 of the leftover chicken breast.

Which was the perfect amount.

Also in there was:

• Red pepper
• Tomato (fresh from the vine)
• Cucumber

And for a dressing I splashed on a little (too much) evoo and balsamic vinegar.

Good stuff.

I also heated up the black-bean cakes in the oven on 350 for about 5 minutes.  

And they were just a delicious as they were last night!

Especially with a  dollop of yogurt dip on them.  Not to be confused with a dollop of Daisy :)

 The spicy black-beans cake will be sure to make another appearance!  We still have a couple left :)

Tune in tonight for a special surprise!!!

What’s your favorite non-sandwich lunch?
