He called me from work last week and asked "What are you having for lunch?"
"A Spinach Wrap!" was my reply.
And he said "It sounds healthy and refreshing! That's good!"
Then, the next day, he called again and asked the same question and I replied "Spinach Wrap"
"Hmm, Yum Again!" he said.
And for the remainder of the week, he popped the same question. Yes you guessed it right, I answered: "Spinach Wrap!"
"What? SPINACH WRAP Again??? Don't you get tired of it?" he asked in disbelief. "Love, you are usually creative. What happened? Aren't you inspired at all?"
I smiled, little did he know that I've been enjoying my spinach wrap marathon lately. I use my spinach wrap as a blank canvass, and pretty much. everyday I create a colorful new picture. It depends on my mood, really. Sometimes I could easily throw in any left-overs from the previous night to a bed of spring greens. Sounds healthy, right? Or sometimes, I would grill it with cheese (oooh gooey) or add some cream with fresh fruits... oh so divine...
So ok, in case he calls today, and he pops the same question... I will not say Spinach Wrap. This time I would say: Red Snapper with Lemon Coleslaw on a Spinach Cup and Wasabi Mayo.
I can't wait to hear what he has to say this time. How about you... What are you eating for lunch today?
Happy Monday!

I got hungry reading your post on red snapper a.k.a. lapu-lapu with the spinach and coleslaw. Great idea! Must try this. This is perfect comfort food with rice, too. Thanks for sharing, Malou!
ReplyDeleteHi Betty Ann,
DeleteYes rice is good with this too but I'm trying to stay away from it for awhile. Spinach wrap make up for it though and yep i've been on a spinach kick lately grabe haha.
