We were filming today and yesterday for a show that’s a secret.  It’s a pilot for a new reality series, but that’s all I can say about it.  (It’s a one time thing for us–not like the Dugger show.)  It was great to have so much motivation to get my house organized–even my bedroom, and my kids have had a blast with all the attention from the crew.  But that’s why I’ve been quiet here and also why my newsletter didn’t make it out this week.  There was a lot more work to do than I wanted to admit since we were welcoming the film crew into every nook and cranny of our home–even our master bedroom and the basement!

I just have a short break while the filming crew goes for lunch and thought I would show you a picture of an easy lunch idea for mom’s on the go.  I took this lunch with me to the soccer fields on Saturday.  I packed traditional sandwiches for the rest of the family, but made this salad to go along with my Fit Yummy Mummy plan. 

This is 2 cups of romaine, 1 cup of navy beans, 4 oz grilled chicken, 3 sliced baby bell peppers, a sprinkle of parmesean and light ceasar dressing.  It was so delicious and filling.  And fast to throw together since I had large batches of beans and chicken already cooked and sliced for the week.  The only bummer was I forgot to pack a fork–and ate the salad with my fingers.  Until Brandon suggested I use one of his sliced apples as a scoop.  It worked great and next time I might add some tangy chopped apples to the salad.  It complemented it well.
