Wow – can I just take a minute to wildly sing the praises of lentils?! Not only did my Black Beluga Lentil + Veggie Toss lunch taste incredible, those lentils filled.me.UP! I seriously didn’t have even a twinge of hunger all afternoon. It wasn’t an uncomfortable, “ugh, I ate too much” full either – this was a satiated, satisfied full. You guys should really try adding lentils to a dish – you can find them in the bulk bin section of your grocery store, or in the dried, bagged bean section!
Alright, enough unsolicited lentil pushing 
For dinner tonight I made an easy, yet satisfying dinner that was ready in a jiffy – a Roasted Turkey, Spinach, Avocado & Pepper Jack Cheese Wrap!
I took a Flat Out wrap, layered on a slice of spicy pepper jack cheese, a handful of spinach, a couple slices of avocado and some shaved, roasted turkey breast. I rolled everything up and placed the wrap in a skillet on the stove top.
After the first side was toasted, I flipped and repeated on the other side. A few minutes later I had a melty, toasty, spicy and satisfying dinner!
This wrap was heavenly! I always have the mindset that wraps and sandwiches are semi-boring – but they don’t have to be! Adding special toppers like avocado or guacamole, banana peppers, sliced apples, cranberry sauce or pesto, can really jazz a plain sandwich up!
FYI – pepper jack cheese is my favorite sandwich cheese. I don’t LOVE spicy food, but the combo of the subtle heat + creamy cheese in this blend is dy-no-mite! Yum!
I served my wrap with a side of blueberries – which were $1.28 for a HUGE container at the grocery store! I am so glad too, because I seriously put a whole cup of blueberries in each of my sangria glasses this weekend and I have been craving more of them ever since!
Now unfortunately, as I predicted this morning, the five mile run I had planned on tackling after work got pushed aside for grocery shopping…rats. All is not lost though. After checking off my to-do list this evening, I am hitting the pavement. On that to-do list:
- Vacuum house
- Organize office
- Water tomato plants
- Clean bathroom
- Return emails
- Clean up house litter
I have these little “litter” piles of cards, bills, magazines, junk mail, etc. that are on my counter and kitchen table. I HATE clutter of any kind, so I’m anxious to file this stuff away! I better get crackin’!! Have a super evening everyone!

Do you like cheese? What’s your favorite kind?
Call me lame, but I could eat about 26 of those little baby-bell cheese discs. They are so good! I also love warm brie, gouda & laughing cow light cheese wedges. I am NOT a fan of stinky and/or blue cheese. I won’t go into detail in case you like them…but I just…can’t…ew.
How do you prepare your lentils? I am very interested in trying them out. My bf actually said he loves lentils when I mentioned them to him.
yes, I love cheese! all kinds, but it’s hard to beat a really good sharp cheddar
That is a tough question – I pretty much love all cheese (I am from Wisconsin after all) – a few of my faves: brie, goat, and just about anything aged
Asiago cheese is ah-mazing. And I’m pretty sure its super healthy too
This wrap looks sensational girl!
Sadly, I’m not a huge cheese fan. I totally pass on the standard cheddar, mozerella and provolone, but give me a little feta or goat cheese and I am in heavan!
Take care darlin!
I agree with you. Pepper Jack is where it’s at. Your wrap looks AH-mazing.
That wrap looks amazing and skilleted to perfection
Goat cheese is my favorite cheese!
Your wraps always look fantastic! I love cheese. Period.
I really love Jarlsberg with a nice glass of red wine! But truthfully, I pretty much like all cheese.
I had a Flatout wrap for dinner too! Mine had egg, cheese, veggies and salsa in it though…yum! My favorite cheese is sharp cheddar. Mmmm.
I like cheese, just not the stinky kind. Laughing cow is good enough for me.
I love cheese! It doesn’t really matter what kind–I’m not picky!
I have a (ridiculous) question for you–the flat out wraps you always talk about–according to their website I should be able to buy them at Super Wal-Mart but I can’t find them. At your grocery store are they with the bread or with the tortillas, or in some other section? Thanks!
I love greek feta, muenster, mozzarella, laughing cow wedges, baby bella’s, string cheeses.
Great question and your food looks divine!
Enjoy,
Pam

I love all cheese, except goat cheese!
please tell me you eat the Crap Wrap!
hummus and gouda is to die for in a Flat Out! i haven’t followed this blog for long, so sorry if this is old news
i’m a former Iowa girl myself so I love seeing the Iowa pride! (i.e. mug)
Hi Beth! Not ridiculous at all
At Walmart they might be in the “health food” section – I would definitely just ask someone who works there, they can help you. If you’re in the Midwest – Hy-vee usually carries them over by their meat/cheese section. Hope that helps!!

Hi Lexi! These lentils were actually pre-cooked, but you can find a good tutorial here: http://www.iqio.org/how-to-cook-lentils. Good luck!
