The first week is easy and filled with enthusiasm. Then reality hits you as you realize the old stand-bys of spaghetti or tostadas are no longer available to you. You have to make a whole new list of "go-to" recipes. And that is a daunting task. This is a journey I have just started. I am keeping my food journal here so that when you are in a rut or are starting to panic you can look here for ideas and perhaps even inspiration.

Lemon Chicken Salad Wrap

This is a great salad to make with leftover grilled chicken from the night before...



o    5 tablespoons mayonnaise
o    2 tablespoons shallots or 2 scallions, minced
o    1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
o    Zest and juice of ½ a lemon
o    ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
o    5 cups shredded or diced chicken (or turkey)
o    ½ cup fresh tarragon leaves, chopped or 1 cap full dried tarragon
Wisk together mayonnaise, shallot, mustard, lemon zest and juice, pepper and salt to taste in the bottom of a large bowl. Add chicken and toss until chicken is evenly coated. Mix in tarragon. Serve in endive or as a sandwich filling.
