Celery instead of Sandwich

Something a little different today...
Cream Cheese Ham photo crcheesehamspread_1.jpg

  After Thanksgiving I had leftover ham and it's really high in sodium, even for small servings, so I was looking for a way to cut that. So I put 4 oz of ham in my bullet type processor and added
2 oz celery
2 oz onion
2 tbsp Light Miracle Whip
2 tbsp Non-fat Plain Greek Yogurt
2 tbsp Mustard
.25 tsp Granulated Garlic
1 tsp Sriracha Cha
One serving 1/4 cup: Calories-62kcal Carbs-4g Fat-4g Protein-6g Sodium-366mg    Sugar-2g

  I blended this to where it was evenly chopped and spreadable but not smooth. Then I added two chopped hard-boiled eggs. This I called my Deviled Ham spread which I shared on my Facebook post the other day along with my daughter's low carb bread that is excellent!

  For my spread in the first picture I added to 1 tbsp Deviled Ham Spread...
.5 oz low fat cream cheese
1 tbsp non-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tbsp riced cauliflower

Sunday Omelet

I was wanting something a bit more substantial for breakfast this morning. Omelets usually do the trick.

This beauty comes in at 325 calories and that's including the sweet potato toast with a cream cheese and yogurt spread on it. Carbs-15g Fat-18g Protein-22g Sodium-526mg Sugar-5g. Veggies dominate in this omelet with 2tbsp Mexican mix cheese inside and 2 tsp crumbled feta on top. Because of the sodium content I only used .8 oz of leftover ham from Thanksgiving. Just enough to add the ham flavor. A layer of spinach went right on top of the beat egg in the skillet. This gives my omelet a little more strength for folding, which it clearly needs to hold the rest of my onions, bell pepper, tomato and mushroom bits. I could have added a dollop of non-fat plain Greek yogurt to the top, but I was ready to eat when I got it to my plate. ☺
