Inside out ham or turkey sandwiches

I don't know where this idea came from. I know it's not mine, and some of you may already do this. I just discovered it and loved it. ENJOY!


3-4 slices of turkey or ham
3-4 whole wheat pretzel sticks
1 slice of cheese
2-3 lettuce leaves

It's pretty self explanatory, wrap meat, cheese and lettuce around the pretzel stick and eat. It's YUMMY!

Cucumber Salad

I'm not on weight watcher's so I don't know anything about the points involved but I'm a vegetarian always on the look out for stuff that I can eat as a main course and serve as a good side dish to my husband's slab of meat for the night. I love taking this on picnics.
