Spontaneous 7-Layer Salad For One (meal size)
Layer into medium bowl:
2 cups of torn lettuce (or bagged salad)
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 heaping tablespoons canned baby peas, drained
1 hard-boiled egg, cut up
(dressing of your choice - see below)
1 slice ready-bacon, microwaved crisp, broken in pieces
1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
About dressing - a thin layer of mayonaise across to "seal" the salad, then chilling it, is traditional, and I recommend Dukes or Dukes Lite brand for that if you live where it's sold. That's good if you make two at once, especially, maybe one to carry for lunch the next day. But you don't have to wait, as long as your ingredients are already cool (I always have hard-boiled eggs ready in the fridge). Be spontaneous, toss with the mayo or any favorite dressing right away and dive in.
Being able to make this interesting salad in a few minutes has saved me from many a poor food choice.

Thanks so much...Welcome back Doughnut
I know you'll get right back on track 
Allison, I am really bloated with this humid weather here too and I am NOT losing any weight
it's driving me a little 
and I had actually flucuated UP by 4 pounds, so take heart! If I can do it, you will do it, too. 
to you

I can't... I have no idea when that mind set will go away... 
and Whittlin's recipe I've added to the Recipe section...
He played some behemoth guy! He was about 6'6"! (My son is 5'8"!). He won 6-1, 4-6, 6-3. It was really hot there, too. Now he goes on to the semi-finals tomorrow. I'm getting about sick of the drive over there
