Monday - Dinner:
This is a super special day... at least my kids would say. You see... I don't cook all that often. I get home late most evenings and my hubs usually has dinner cooked. Well last night I was in the mood for salad. I had seen Melissa's post yesterday with her salad pictures and decided I needed salad.

So I finally had time to calculate the nutrition facts for the Allison. I am so disappointed. I should have known that something so darn good would be so darn bad for me!!! You see... I am insulin resistant. So... carbs (a lot) are a no no for me. Here are the results... I am so sad!
THE ALLISON'S NUTRITION FACTS:
