We gotta eat!

My Easy Go To Chicken Salad

This summer has passed and I feel like it never started.  Working multiple jobs I find I lack the energy in the kitchen and the time to properly shop.  I know that’s just an excuse but some days are just hard.  

So here is my easy, go to, that can be whipped up quick, eaten right away or “packaged” up for weekly prep. Also, tuna can easily be substituted for the chicken, but you usually don’t want to be “that person” at work.


Ingredients:

  • ​Shredded Chicken (I pop frozen chicken in the instant pot with 1 cup water and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes with a natural release)
  • Generous scoop of vegan mayonnaise (you could use non-vegan) 
  • Little spoonful of relish (I like sweet relish...no taming my sweet tooth)
  • Generous helping of Trader Joe’s mirepoix mix of carrots, celery, and onions
  • Lettuce to serve (i.e. romaine, arugula, spinach, any combination, etc.)
  • Optional - salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients but the lettuce together in a both until well combined.  Then add lettuce or add on top of serving of salad and enjoy.

Middle Eastern “Tacos”

I love me some #tacotuesday but veggie tacos can become a bit tiring, especially with a teenager in the house who vetoes jackfruit, lentil, and soy chorizo options.  So when I picked up this Zhoug Sauce at Trader Joes I was inspired. It was so good and spicy when I first tried it, I couldn’t wait for Tuesday to incorporate into tacos. ​

I was never a yogurt person, but yet here I find myself eating this yogurt almost daily!  It’s so easy to make and nice to know I have some in the fridge to grab for a healthy snack.  I take it to work and enjoy for a morning break to tide me over until lunch time.

Here is my favorite way to eat right now.

Vegan Pancakes

I saw this on Facebook earlier in the week and couldn’t wait to try it.  I kid you not, I made these the last three mornings.  Here is the original recipe from Tasty, and below is how I switched it up a little.  Now, it says its 4 servings...um, I beg to differ.  This is more like 2 servings.  You could stretch it to 4 if you are serving other things with it though.  And as I’m on my current vegan, instant pot yogurt kick, I have replaced the maple syrup on top with vanilla yogurt and I’m enjoying that for now.
