Day 28 - Hospital Food - Salad Bar!

My brother is still in the hospital, but I didn't have time to pack my dinner today.  I was hoping the hospital cafeteria has a garden burger or salad bar and they did not disappoint. I got lucky! They actually had fairly good choices for their salad bar.  I constructed my own "healthy" salad:  romaine lettuce, spinach, cranberries, tomatoes, beets, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, carrots, sesame sticks, and sunflower seeds.  Picking a dressing was difficult.  They all had egg in them (even the Italian dressing?).  The lady pointed out a fat-free raspberry vinaigrette and since I had no other choice, I took it.  It was quite tasty and only 20 calories per 2 tablespoons.  Can't beat that!   I must remember to pack a lunch tomorrow.
