Tuna salad is way underestimated in my opinion. I make a batch at least once a week and it’s hands down one of my favorite healthy lunches! Everyone has their own favorite way to make tuna salad, but I learned this recipe from my mama years ago (she learned from her dad), and I might be biased, but our recipe truly is the best! I season mine with old bay, a classic seafood seasoning, and put lots of crunchy goodness in there for texture and flavor. Tuna salad is so great for meal prepping, which is why I tend to make this recipe almost weekly. Do yourself a favor and make the best tuna salad you’ve ever eaten by following my simple but flavorful recipe!
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!
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely holiday and are feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle 2019! If you are like us, this week means the first week of getting back to reality, back on schedule, and back in the kitchen! I am definitely ready to start getting back to eating meals that are nourishing, keep me energized, and make me feel good and I figured that you are probably ready too! That’s why I will be sharing an easy family-friendly meal plan with you each week for the rest of the month to help you get back on track as a family! These plans will give you ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even a couple of snacks for you to mix and match as you choose or you can follow exactly! I hope my healthy eating meal plan week one gives you some inspiration to get back making yummy food that is not only delicious, but good for you and your family too!
Feel free to adapt these recipe to make them suitable for your family’s dietary needs! Let’s get cooking!
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!

A healthy lifestyle is something I strive to have for myself and for my family. Along with staying active, I believe the main aspect of staying healthy starts with your diet! That's why making healthy swaps like MaraNatha Almond Butters perfect for healthy snacking and recipe additions to any meal makes staying on track even easier. I love that I can shop at my local Walmart and get all of the ingredients that I need to create a delicious and healthy meal that my whole family will love! My almond butter Asian chicken and veggie soba noodle salad is the perfect lunch to meal prep and enjoy all week long!
I'm here to let you know that I am extending the weekend another day! And yes I have the authority to do that. This weekend went by too fast, which it always does, but this weekend really sped by and I am just not ready to go into full on weekday mode today! So today I am challenging myself and you to do one thing for yourself that you wouldn't normally allow yourself to do today. Self-care Monday should totally be a thing if you ask me! Take a bubble bath in the middle of the day, read a book for a little while, take a power nap, whatever it is..do it! I need that today, and I am guessing so do you! And you know what else we need today? A little comfort food, so let's make ourselves a spinach and artichoke grilled cheese and call it a day!
