Chicken salad is a great lunch to take to work. It feels like you're getting more out of your sandwich than if you're just bringing a regular ol' turkey and cheese sandwich. Chicken salad is filling and hearty, if you can call a cold salad "hearty". There is one problem with chicken salad though: it's… Continue reading Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad

Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
When I was in high school, my small town had a massive restaurant opening. Cheddar's, the chain casual American restaurant, had moved to our small town. Everyone I knew was obsessed with the restaurant. If you were going to prom or another big dance, it was THE restaurant to eat at beforehand. I had several… Continue reading Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad
Honey Buffalo Chicken Strips
Every couple of months or so, a debate rages inside my newsroom. It's not a debate about politics, sports or even news for that matter. It's a debate about who has the best fast food chicken strips. I'm a steadfast fan of Golden Chick, Chicken Express and Zaxby's. Half of the newsroom swears by Raising… Continue reading Honey Buffalo Chicken Strips
Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Lettuce wraps are difficult to eat at work. I eat lunch at my desk (I know I shouldn't) because I'm swamped most of the time. Since I eat at my desk instead of in our very nice break room, I typically only bring sandwiches or salads to work. Anything I don't have to reheat works… Continue reading Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Tuna Cobb Salad
There's a sale on oil-packed tuna at Costco right now. It might not sound like that big of a deal, but when there's a sale on tuna, I jump on it. I eat a lot of tuna. I love it so much, a few years ago I signed up for a settlement with Starkist. As… Continue reading Tuna Cobb Salad
Grab-and-Go Breakfast Burritos
If you're one of those people who like to have a plan for everything, then you're my kind of person. I like structure. I like planning for the worst-case scenario. I like routine. If anything unexpected comes up, I can lose my cool really quick. I meal prep lunches for the work week. If I… Continue reading Grab-and-Go Breakfast Burritos
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
I've never been a person who liked sweet breakfast foods. Cereal, waffles, pancakes, French toast--- all of those things are sub-standard to me. I will gladly choose a breakfast burrito or bacon and eggs above a plate of pancakes anyday. I make sweet breakfasts for my husband all the time. He enjoys eating oatmeal before… Continue reading Strawberry Chocolate Chip Protein Pancake Bites
Moroccan Salad with Harissa Ranch Dressing
International flavors delight my tastebuds. My favorite meal on the planet is Pad Thai. I'm notorious for ordering Indian food for delivery (give me all the tikka masala and biryani, thank you). Pho calms my nerves on a cold winter day. I've been trying to expand my international horizons from right in my kitchen. I've… Continue reading Moroccan Salad with Harissa Ranch Dressing
Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
Snacks play a really important part in my life. I can't go more than a few hours without a pick-me-up, and having homemade snacks at the drop of a hat is a must. I usually take a snack break around 3 in the morning (remember, I work nights!) and that's after eating my "breakfast" at… Continue reading Chicken & Zucchini Poppers
15 Minute Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I originally wasn't going to take pictures/post this recipe. You see at least a trillion copycat P.F. Chang's chicken lettuce wraps on Pinterest when scrolling through boards. However, I think mine is the best of all. I'm sure other people think the same thing, but I'm not kidding---these are incredible. The best part? It only… Continue reading 15 Minute Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps
