Pepper Mayo

This is a great spread for any sandwich (I am embarrassed to admit I could probably eat it right out of the container with a spoon cause it is that good)!!!
Ingredients
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Splenda
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (more or less to taste)

Directions
Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix well.  Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.

KFC Twister Sandwich

KFC Twisters are one of the few fast food items I miss.  This sandwich (although now discontinued) is close to 600 calories, which is something that definitely doesn't fit into my daily caloric allowance.  With a little shopping and experimenting I was able to make a version that is amazingly close to the real thing at only about half the calories.
Ingredients
1 low calorie tortilla (like Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla)
1/4 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1 tablespoon pepper mayo
2-3 breaded chicken tenders (aprox. 100g)

Directions
Place tortilla on counter. Spread 1 tablespoon pepper mayo down the center of the tortilla.  Top with lettuce, tomato, and chicken tenders.  Fold and eat.
