This has been an AWESOME week. Maplewood Boot Camps was featured on
the CBS evening news and my daughter Sunshine Marie Sanchez graduated
from middle school with honors.

When we first moved to Maplewood from the Beford Stuyvesant section
of Brooklyn it was a huge adjustment for all of us. I was a single
dad with two young daughters that just remarried.

Sunshine always struggled with school but she never gave up. Every
time she would receive a low grade she would cry it off, get up,
dust herself off and try again.

If a 13 year old from the housing projects in Brooklyn can wake up
in a strange place every day and say I'm going to be the best that
I can be just for today. (I'm starting to tear up here)

Then so can you.

It's Grill Time
Looking for something delicous to grill that won't derail your weight
loss goals? Look no further than the produce section. Onions,
bell peppers, eggplant, carrots, asparagas and zuccini are all great
options to throw on the grill - and they can all be eaten guilt free.

Mediterranean Lettuce Wrap
This wrap is savory and refreshing, and is the perfect meal to get
you beach ready. I recommend roasting your own bell pepper, since
most store bought roasted bell peppers are packaged in oil. To do
so simply throw it on the grill until soft and then peel the skin
after it cools.
Servings: 1

Here's what you need...

    * 1 large leaf of lettuce
    * 2 slices lean turkey
    * 1 roasted red bell pepper, cut into 4 segments
    * 2 tablespoons garlic hummus
    * 1 tablespoon olive tapenade

   1. Lay the lettuce leaf flat and spread with 1 tablespoon of
   hummus. Place the turkey slices on the lettuce and spread with
   remaining hummus. Sprinkle the olive tapenade over the turkey
   and top with the roasted bell pepper.
   2. Wrap the lettuce, use a tooth pick to hold it together.
