Instead of bread, I am now making all my sandwiches with romaine lettuce leafs. No more bread for me; I am convinced it stymies my weight loss. This should make for a good weight loss in February :)

Spritz with olive oil and broil until the edges brown-they are delicious. Also, this works well with asparagus-broil just until the green color changes and the spears are still crunchy!
