I am making these again today.
It's simple:
Ground sirloin patties
Minced garlic - about a 1/2 tbsp per burger
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Mix the three ingredients per burger. Grill to suit.
Cut in half, roll up in a whole grain or low carb wrap with some salsa.
Enjoy. Total about 20 minutes if you take your time.

JC's Low Fat Grilled Salmon Roll Ups
This one I only had once, but I will make it more often now that I have thought about it. It is healthy and delicious. Enjoy.
1" wide salmon fillets - no skin
Romaine lettuce for roll-ups
Sauted onions
Zucchini cut lengthwise into two parts
Saute onions until soft and clear to put into rollups. Set aside and keep warm.
Coat salmon fillets and underside of zucchini with olive oil. Place in grill on medium heat. Season salmon to taste with your favorite spices. Cook salmon until cooked thoroughly, cook zucchini until hot and to desired texture. Slice zucchini.
Place salmon, some onions to taste, and zucchini (if desired, or have them as a side dish) into lettuce and roll up. Enjoy.

Something off the Path
I did something 6 years ago that I thought I would never do. I was influenced by a colleague, Jack, he was into healthy living, natural living, and alternative remedies. He convinced me after many talks into cleansing my colon. I know, sounds gross, and in reality it is. He told me that I would feel better, sleep better, have more energy, digest food better and more thoroughly, as well as many other benefits. I was skeptical and was frankly afraid to try something like that.
He turned me onto a product by a company called Nature's Secret, Super Cleanse. It was amazing. After a week of using Super Cleanse, which is essentially a large dose of natural fiber, I felt like a totally new person. I was alert, not tired, energetic, had less gas, heartburn....truly amazing. And I lost 7 lbs in that week from shedding the excess plaque that was lining my digestive tract.
I would definitely consult a physician before doing this just to make sure. And always follow the directions or call Nature's Secret if you have any questions. Also, you must drink a lot of water is you take this. Also, stay close to "home base" if you know what I mean. The waste wants to come out quickly and the need to evacuate comes even quicker.

An Interesting View on Foods
This is from an e-mail I received today..................enjoy.
A friend sent this to me. It's been said that God first separated the
salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, and made animals and
fish..
all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before
we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...
God left us great clues as to what foods
help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy!
Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the
human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow
to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of
the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell
and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums.
Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help
develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human
kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength.
Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they
look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this?
It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit.
There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow.
Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from
all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Quick Chicken Roll-ups
This is a real quick and easy recipe, especially if you use Perdue pre-cooked chicken tenderloins (bought at Costco).
Ingredients: (for two roll-ups)
2 Perdue Chicken Tenderloins
Old Bay Seasoning
1/4 large onion
leaf lettuce or spinach
2 tbsp. fat free mayonnaise
2 Spinach lawash flatbread
Either bake the chicken tenderloins or microwave then if they are pre-cooked like the Perdue tenderloins I use. Cut into 1/4" strips and sprinkle the Old Bay very lightly over the pieces.
Into a spinach flatbread, fill it like a burrito, first, spread the mayo evenly, layer the lettuce or spinach over the mayo, place a portion of the chicken and diced onion on top. Roll up like a burrito.
This recipe will takes me less than 10 minutes to build, and it is real good for you.
If you want even better flavor, saute the onions in olive oil until softened or add sauted green, red, orange or yellow onions. Another twist is to sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese in the filler. If you want spice, add some sliced jalapenos with the onions.
This recipe is great and is making me hungry....enjoy!!
