The Salesman & The Salad Bar

I'm not sure if Jordan is ready for me to go back to work and start slacking on my housewife duties that I have mastered while on maternity leave. One of his favorite tasks for me to do is to make his lunch. Yes, folks, I have been packing him lunches here and there. There are often times at his job where's not able to leave for lunch if the store is too busy, so it's easier if he brings it. At first, I was buying him pre-made salads from the grocery store, but wow, does that add up fast at the register! So, I made a few salads for him myself with just the basic lettuce, tomato, and grilled chicken. But my salad-making skills have evolved much further over the past few weeks. I have begun to make just bowls of greens and a smorgasbord of toppings in separate containers so that he can create a different salad each day. And please keep in mind that I don't even eat salad myself!! Take a peek at this week's traveling salad bar which includes: greens, tomatoes, red & green peppers, red onions, chopped eggs, ham, grilled chicken, chopped bacon, sliced avocado, and shredded cheese. And a whole bottle of dressing for my Ranch-lover! :) I'd like to keep helping him out by making his salads. It saves us a ton of money and is definitely healthier than the fast food alternatives. And of course, I have my little sous chef Austin who likes to help me as well. :)
