| Spinach Hummus & Carrot Romaine "Sandwiches" |
Daily Tidbit: I got my inspiration for these Romaine "Sandwiches" (pictured above) when I saw a pic of a Pea, Spinach & Bacon Lettuce Cup in a magazine last week. Surprisingly refreshing, tasty and filling! The trick is finding just the right size lettuce that is sturdy enough to hold your fillings, in this case, some seriously thick homemade Spinach Hummus. Coupled with an Over Easy Egg, it was a perfect lunch!
