Lunchtime

Lunch atop a skyscraper at Rockefeller Center- 1932

So every couple of weeks I sit down and make our grocery list. I also make a list to put on the fridge of all the options we have to choose from for lunch or dinner. And it's not like you need 2 ideas for each day of the week, because we all know that some days we have this and that and leftovers or eat out. So I usually think of 6-7 meals and at least 4 lunch ideas.

I found out that when you have a baby- you need to eat quick, high protein meals!

So I am sharing my Lunch ideas.

This week I have food to make:

Chicken Curry Salad (recipe to follow)

Ham and Cheese Sammies
Lean Pockets- Whole Grain Spinach Artichoke

Leftovers from a dinner

Chicken Curry Salad

Chicken Breast- cut into bite size pieces or shredded

Grapes- cut in half

Celery- chopped up

Onion(optional)- chopped up

Walnuts- chopped up

Mayo and/or Sour Cream

Curry Powder

Take first 5 ingredients and mix in a bowl. Then add a spoonful of Mayo and a spoonful of Sour Cream- mix thoroughly. (I use a little bit of both so it's less fatty). Add a couple shakes of Curry powder, salt, and pepper. Taste to re-season or add more Mayo.

If you let this sit in the fridge for a couple hours- it will get more flavorful.

Once Curry Chicken Salad is made, you can scoop some on lettuce, for a salad, or you can put it in a wrap. Yummy!
