A Taste of Sunshine on Flatout Hungry Girl Foldit Flatbread

It’s cold in Pittsburgh, and as many of you know, winter in this part of the country is cold and gray and lasts a long time. Recently, not too far from here, Punxsutawney Phil – weather forecasting groundhog extraordinaire – predicted an early spring for 2013, but as far as I’m concerned, it can’t come fast enough.

Last night, with visions of sunny, warm days dancing in my head, I wandered around my kitchen trying to decide what to make for dinner. I ended up pulling these items out of my refrigerator:

That would be lime, mango, avocado, baby lettuce, cilantro, sliced roasted chicken and Swiss cheese, all destined to become layers (or juice, in the lime’s case) on my Flatout Hungry Girl Foldit flatbread in 100% Whole Wheat with Flax (available at Walgreens).

Here’s the finished cold sandwich:

It tasted like summer. When my husband saw what I was doing, he stole some of my already-sliced ingredients and made the same sandwich, but he put his flatbread (piled with cheese and chicken) in the toaster oven before adding the fruits and veggies. The hot/cold flavor and texture combination added a nice touch.

The Flatout Hungry Girl Foldits are delicious and pack fewer calories and carbs than your standard sandwich bread. Check them out at Walgreens in flavors including 100% Whole Wheat with Flax, Rosemary and Olive Oil, Traditional White and SLIDERS Classic White.
