Grilled Chipotle Shrimp Salad

August 6, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

August is always so crazy hot and humid here. The sticky weather makes it hard to think about eating anything that requires cooking. I tend to turn to salads all the time because they are cool and refreshing. I always want some protein with my salad too but hate the idea of heating up the kitchen to cook it. This grilled chipotle shrimp salad is the perfect solution because it requires almost no cooking and tastes amazing!

This chipotle shrimp salad is the perfect hot weather lunch option.

Paleo Chicken Salad

May 18, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

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.

Pesto and Sun Dried Tomato Tuna Salad

September 4, 2014 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

Tuna salad is one of those great go to lunch ideas because it is full of protein to help you make it through the day and tastes great. It also makes the perfect after school snack when the kids come home complaining they are so hungry. I created this pesto and sun dried tomato tuna salad to change up my typical version and cut out a lot of the unhealthy items that typically go into a tuna salad. 

Tuna salad is the perfect lunch or after school snack option! Opt for this version which has zero mayo and is full of amazing flavor.

Succotash Salad

June 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

During hot weather months, I tend to turn away from hot lunches like soups or casseroles.  They all still taste good but a nice cool sandwich {like this one} or a salad tends to my lunch of choice when it is so hot outside.  I love salads with lettuce but for some reason, when I make them at home, they just don’t do it for me like a restaurant salad.  So, I stick to pasta salads or vegetable centered ones like this succotash salad.

TBT: Balsamic Chicken Sandwich

June 5, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

Picnic season is in full force here because the weather is nice {not too hot yet} and it is such a great time to be outside. We are so lucky to have a bunch of different places to go for picnics around here and we really try to take advantage of them whenever we can.  Of course, sometimes we just like having sandwiches and other typical picnic fare at home for lunch too.  Last year, I shared one of my favorite sandwiches and I wanted to bring them back this year because they are just so delicious.  I actually  had one of this balsamic chicken sandwich for lunch today and I was reminded exactly how tasty they are!

Brown Rice Salad with Seared Tuna

April 7, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

The weather is finally starting to warm up around here {I know you are glad because I will finally stop complaining} and that means it is salad season.  I’m not quite ready to dive into light, lettuce based salads but I have been eating more cool dishes like this brown rice salad with seared tuna.

Easy and Healthy Lunch Recipes

July 3, 2013 By Shannah 9 Comments

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.
