Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Now that fall is approaching us, I have been whipping up lots of delicious ‘fall’ recipes. I was really excited to make this Apple & Gouda Grilled Cheese because not only is it reminiscent of fall, but I knew the Just Us Four Readers would love it!

In just a few short weeks we will be headed back to school. It means lots of activities, homework and of course, back to packing lunches each day. I do my best to change up what the kids get in their lunches so they actually want to eat them. One of my newest sandwiches for lunches is a spinach artichoke turkey sandwich.

Father’s Day is in just a few weeks. I’ve been trying to decide what to do for Mathlete {besides sending him off flying for the day} and I instantly thought of a picnic. We did one at a local winery for Mother’s Day and it was great. One of our wineries has also opened a brewery on the property and I know Mathlete would love checking out some of the beers they offer. Of course, if we are going on a picnic, we are going to need food to take. I wanted to skip our regular choices {like balsamic chicken sandwiches} and I saw some braising sauces made with craft beers at a recent shopping trip and instantly knew I wanted to make a braised pork sandwich with jicama kale slaw.

Happy National Cheese Day! In honor of one of the best days of the year, I wanted to share with you one of our favorite burgers. While I always like a good beef burger, right now, I am totally in love with this chicken apple burger. It is so good, especially when topped with a slice of melted VELVEETA®.

Guess what day it is?! It is Paleo Monday. I am so excited to share with you one of my absolute favorite new recipes this week. I’ve been searching for a way to replace the chicken salad that I loved for lunch each and every day before going Paleo {er-ish}. Well, I think I finally done it. This paleo chicken salad is to die for and is so perfect for Spring and Summer lunches.

There are days when you just crave comfort food. Gooey, cheesy and delicious comfort food like a grilled cheese sandwich. I love making grilled cheese sandwiches at home and playing around with the ingredients and types of cheese that go inside. After our party for the big game, I had some leftover candied cayenne bacon and knew it was going in a grilled cheese. That is how this turkey bacon grilled cheese came to be my favorite new lunch sandwich.

Comfort food doesn’t get any better than a gooey grilled cheese sandwich! But, you don’t have to miss out on your daily vegetables either when you make this amazing roasted vegetable grilled cheese. Full of flavor, lots of oven roasted vegetables and of course, melty cheese…this gourmet grilled cheese will always be at the top of your comfort food list!
I always struggle with lunch. It is the meal of the day that gives me the hardest time when I am trying to eat healthier {which, honestly, needs to be more often}. I work full time so whatever I have for lunch needs to be easily transported to work and be microwave friendly. Easy AND healthy lunch recipes, besides a traditional salad, that fits into the work friendly category can be difficult to come by.
After a recent trip to the doctor to follow-up on my surgery, we stopped at Harris Teeter and I grabbed a few magazines to keep me entertained during recovery. The cover of the July issue of All You grabbed my attention because it advertised 31 family meals and ways to kick start your metabolism {something I desperately need}. I love finding new recipes for family meals because I can usually turn the leftovers into lunch ideas.
As I was flipping through the issue of All You, I found an entire article on healthy eating that included some great ideas for lunch.
Sandwiches are a great option for lunch but can often be high in calories and fat. The magazine had a great recipe for a tuna salad that wasn’t full of mayonnaise and other high fat ingredients. What I loved is that it is easy to customize too.
