Added some pizazz!

I whipped up some recipes today to add some pizazz to my normal cycle of food. In a previous post I made a vow not the eat the same things over and over day in and day out. I admit that I ate the same old snacks today, but I did switch up my meals. For lunch I had a salad but I added some edamame and whipped up a soy dressing! It was good! I will definitely be using it again! The recipe is not precise...

Soy balsamic dressing

low sodium soy sauce ( I used 1 tbsp originally and felt like it was too much, I will cut it in half next time)
balsamic vinegar ( added a dash, probably about 1 tsp)
squirt of honey honey
sprinkle of curry powder

For dinner I filled a pita with chicken (trader joe's frozen grilled chicken strips-warmed in the microwave) and spinach. I also whipped up a spicy yogurt sauce that I was iffy about but that tasted so delish with the chicken...mmmmm. I will be making this again for sure!

Spicy Yogurt Sauce

1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
squirt of hot sauce (to your liking)
dash of curry powder
1/2 tsp olive oil (I add olive oil to everything for a little flavor and healthy fat)
