With Spring on the brain, I am suddenly in the mood for all sorts of salads and color on my plate! It has been unusually cold here this week in Texas, but that does not change the fact that I have been day dreaming about sunny Spring days that are in the very near future! While wintery meals tend to be more laborious, I love how with the switch of seasons, meals become more simple and effortless. Simple salads are one of my favorite things to make at this time of year when the days gets longer and the weather gets nicer! Even better, are salads that can be prepped in advanced and eaten throughout the week for easy lunches or dinners! My Chickpea BLT Salad with Cilantro Dill Dressing is a salad that is packing serious flavor and will quickly become one of your new favorites!
Hey hey Monday! I see you, trying to intimidate us all, making us wish it was still the weekend..but that’s not going to work this week! I’m ready for you. I woke up motivated, rested, and ready to tackle this week’s to-do list! How about you? Not so much? Don’t worry if you aren’t feeling quite as enthusiastic about Monday morning just yet, I am here to change your outlook! One of the ways I prepare for a successful week is by meal planning and lunches are the one thing that sometimes get the short end of the stick! I have had several requests for not only kid friendly lunches, but also adult lunches, and I have a great one that you can prep in advance for the week! My roasted chickpea caesar wraps are so easy to make, healthy, and satisfying to keep you going through any day of the week!
This week I managed to take my child to school on a day that he didn't in fact have school (I may have almost cried), on top of that Parks has woken up at 5am or somewhere in that time frame every single day leaving me feeling more tired than usual, and it seems like I can't get into my routine this week! Do you ever have weeks like that where you just feel off? (Please tell me I'm not alone here.) Thank goodness for easy recipes that save the day when my brain clearly isn't working so I don't have to put much effort into creating a delicious recipe that the whole family loves. My sumac roasted chickpea Caesar salad is just the kind of meal that nourishes your body, tastes delicious, and is easy peasy too!
