Stuff I pack for Ben

Ben is a semi-vegetarian, so I pack meat-based sandwiches for him several days a week:

• Low carb tortilla spread with hummus, topped with a thin slice of oven roasted turkey and rolled around a kosher pickle spear
• Iceberg lettuce wrapped around leftover roast chicken
• Organic peanut butter  and honey spread on potato bread
• Cold soba noodles with dipping sauce, sesame seeds, green onions and sauteed mushrooms
