I Want To Eat This Every Day Of The Week!

Do you ever face the same problem I do? You’re having a crazy day with so much to do that you don’t have time to fix a good, healthy lunch (or so you think).

Instead you end up eating something heavy, sugary and overall bad for you. Well, it used to happen to me almost every day, until I made a decision I would spend a moment every night figuring out what to have for lunch the next day. It had to be tasty (duh!), light and healthy – but most of all I really wanted it to be easy to put together. It took me a while to figure out what it was but I finally found the perfect recipe!

This chicken salad won’t take you longer than five minutes to prepare, and you can tweak it any way you like to keep it fresh and interesting. I’ve had this several days in a row, with small adjustments, and it always tastes like a new dish!

Quick Tip: Not a fan of raisins? Use dried cranberries instead!

Have you ever wanted pizza and chicken at the same time? I am a foodaholic, so I’m always craving weird combinations. One day, I had a hankering for chicken, cheese, and pepperoni (no, I wasn’t pregnant). I came across this recipe for pepperoni chicken and assumed that God had heard my prayers.

This is seriously one of the best versions of chicken cordon bleu I’ve ever had. It’s like eating a chicken pizza without the crust. My kids got a kick out of the pepperoni’s sitting on top of the chicken breasts. It doesn’t take much to amuse us lol. Try something new for dinner tonight and make this awesome meal. You’ll be glad you did!

Quick Tip: I like to add a few basil leaves from my herb garden as a garnish to the top of this dish. It looks pretty and tastes great!

Even thought the holidays are basically designed for gluttony, every once in a while, you may feel like something lighter.  This recipe is quick, healthy, and utterly scrumptious.

This recipe calls to steam the shrimp, but feel free to grill or saute them in a little garlic butter.  Since this dish is on the lighter side, you can play around with the flavors of your protein.  Enjoy!

Nothing Beats This Classic Southern Recipe

This Southern Chicken Salad is great for a lunch or light dinner at home, but it also makes a bunch, keeps well for a couple of days in the refrigerator, and is readily expandable, making it a great tailgate, picnic, or potluck option. I also enjoy snacking on this salad for lunch. So yummy – this recipe certainly is a keeper! Chicken salad is one thing that is easy to make but also easy to mess up. This recipe uses just the right amount of mayo and a good balance of sweet and savory flavors to bring everything together beautifully.

Leave it to the southerners to come up with such an amazing recipe. They never seem to fail! And if you want to make this extra healthy, you can leave out the sugar and use low-fat mayonnaise. It will still taste absolutely scrumptious!

If I can recall right, i do beleive thatw e had this chicken salad recipe for my sister’s bridal shower. Yes! Yes, we did! It was so good and we ate it on croissants. Whata  great memory of good food and fun times 🙂

Quick Tip: Serve this chicken salad on freshly baked crescent rolls.

It takes only 40 minutes and eight ingredients (including salt, pepper, and cooking oil) to make this tasty Butternut Squash Pasta Salad. How’s that for fast food, huh? It’s great as a side, as a lunch by itself, or as part of a nice fall soup and salad combo. It’s a great dish for fall and winter, and it basically makes its own dressing – no need to add more. It’s an easy side for a family meal, but I think it would be perfect for tailgates and potlucks, as well.

Want to know what I always like to add to this salad? It may sound crazy, but a dash of hot sauce drizzled on top of all of this goodness makes it even more delicious! The best part about this dish is that it tastes just as good warm as it does cold, after refrigerating the leftovers.

Quick tip: Use your favorite cheese instead of goat cheese!

It can be really difficult to put together a salad that is tasty and also very healthy.  This Creamy Broccoli & Bacon Salad recipe allows you to do so with ease.  There is no store-bought dressing in this recipe, but it is a cinch to put together.  You won’t believe that something with bacon in it is this healthy–or that something so delicious and healthy is so easy to put together!

I enjoy a nice salad, but sometimes, all of the chopping and other prep involved can be a bit taxing.  And after going through all of that, I often don’t really feel up to making my own dressing for it.  Needless to say, most of the usual store-bought options aren’t exactly all that healthy, and that kind of defeats the point of having a salad in the first place.  This recipe solves those problems very nicely.

Quick tip: If you’re taking this to work for your lunch, make the sauce in a separate container and combine with the veggies right before serving, so they won’t get soggy.

Let Me Tell You Right Now, This Is The ONLY Lunch Salad Recipe You’ll Ever Need

Are you bored of your regular lunch salad recipe? The same one you’ve brought to work every other day for the last year? I know the feeling. But there’s no need to worry, because I’ve also found the solution!

This chicken salad is super versatile and really quite easy to prepare. I used the Greek yogurt and some low-fat croissants for mine only because I am trying to eat healthier, but I bet this recipe would be crazy good with some of my homemade mayo.

Also, I am not a huge celery fan, so I used pickled okra in mine to replace the celery. It was really good – or if you like celery keep this as is! This is a great pre-made lunch to take to work because you can make large batches and it keeps well. You can change the flavors so that you won’t get bored – and you’ll save a bunch of money when you don’t have to go out for lunch!
