Mediterranean Chicken Meal Prep Bowls

August 6, 2019

Mediterranean chicken meal prep bowls are a tasty way to stay on track and eat a nutritious, flavorful lunch. A few minutes of planning ahead and you will have a week’s worth of lunches ready for the work week. Chicken meal prep, like this Moroccan Chicken Meal Prep Bowl, is likely the easiest to do because it’s what most of us eat.

Dedicating a few extra minutes on weekends to set up your meals for the week is time well spent. Whether it be lunches, dinners or both – chicken with Mediterranean vegetables is a healthy and nutritious choice. You can find even more healthy meal prep ideas on this post.

My Favorite Summer Salads

May 28, 2018

summer salads

Happy Memorial Day!  This week, I am focusing on my favorite summer salads.  The weather is starting to get steamy and the last thing I want to do is heat up the house with the oven.  This time of the year, we tend to eat quite a few salads for dinner.  During the summer months, fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful, so take advantage of it and fill your plate with Mother Nature’s bounty!

Chicken Taco Salad with Avocado Dressing

March 12, 2018

Grilled chicken taco salad with grilled peppers, shredded cheese, avocado and salty, crunchy tortilla strips on a bed of crisp romaine lettuce make this salad completely satisfying.

This chicken taco tortilla salad was our dinner twice last week. It was so good, it garnered a repeat performance. The past week was unseasonably warm here, unlike the rest of the country.  While parts of the midwest were getting slammed with winter storms, we were hovering near 90.  That called for cooking outside.

homemade herb vinaigrette

Homemade herb vinaigrette is one of the easiest things to make. If you are not confident in the kitchen, this is a great place to start getting your feet wet. A handful of ingredients and 5 minutes is all it takes to make something delicious.

Now that Spring is in full swing and the Farmer’s Markets are replete with the good stuff, it’s time to start putting those veggies back into the rotation.

Some people tend to look at salads as the obligatory precursor to the main event.  Granted, if someone serves you a bowl of pre-cut lettuce and gloppy dressing, it is barely even that.  However, with a little creativity and a blender you can make something that is beautiful, delicious, good for you and even those that tend to resist eating “rabbit food” may even get on board.
