 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:
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.

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.   This is such an easy kale smoothie. It tastes so good and refreshing yet it can also be very filling with all that kale. Perfect for between meals, or after a light workout, or out the door for errands. Super easy to make with only a few ingredients.
Ch-ch-ch-chia.
Yep, those funny little things are actually quite tasty. A few years ago I got into the chia seeds and enjoyed chia frescas and puddings but then my interest seemed to fade. I’m terrible with remembering favorite recipes because I also tend to just google as I cook. So when I decided to get back into the chia craze I found this recipe and remembered to bookmark it this time. Now, I don’t quite follow the recipe to a T and I have basically just used it as a base to play with different flavors and combos. It makes a pretty big batch so I can easily split this one base into 4 different flavors. The convenience of mason jars is big for these flavor splits. I can simply divide the chia seeds among the jars, and either add the flavorings to the jar or have a reserve to use if I’m blending the flavor in the blender. I will keep the puddings in the fridge and grab during the week or scope out as needed to add to other recipes, such as the dragon fruit/tapioca dessert or the ricotta milkshake. Easy enough to pack for work and versatile enough to not tire of.  Here is another recipe for our popcorn series. I always struggle to write and post these recipes because it seems so unlike me. But I do find these as goto recipes when I have certain cravings and just need a snack. It also works out well for me because since I don’t really like popcorn I don’t end up overeating and eating too much. It works out to be just enough to hit the spot.
I've never been one to eat the same thing two days in a row. I have to get creative with leftovers. Yet, I have eaten these oats three days in a row! Love them, and its even more awesome to just grab it out of the fridge and go in the morning since I'm usually running late. I know there has been contention with whether or not oatmeal is gluten free, and as long its labeled so I'm going to go with it. We haven't seen any adverse reactions in our house so we're good for now.  |
