Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
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!

Lunch is one of those meals that I rarely get to eat. Either I am too busy at work or I am chasing after my two littles and suddenly lunchtime is long past. I’ve been trying to get better about making sure I take time to eat lunch so I am less likely to snack late in the day and mess up my dinner though. I work in an office that is pretty far from any lunch options so I always take my lunch when I am in the office and I’ve started setting a timer for the days that I work from home. Recently, I discovered Campbell’s Slow Kettle soups and they have been the perfect lunch option for me!

Every year, I serve a similar menu for Christmas. Mathlete doesn’t love turkey so, after Thanksgiving, we don’t have that again until next Thanksgiving. I started making a beef tenderloin a few years ago and it is always a hit.

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.

One of the huge perks of working from home a few days a week {well, besides the easy commute} is the ability to have breakfast and lunch at home. If you weren’t already sure, I love to cook and I get bored very easily with deli sandwiches and frozen meals I can pop in the office microwave. I don’t have a lot time to put together a fancy meal or anything but I can squeeze out a freshly made sandwich or breakfast muffin. The other day, I was craving chicken salad and my basil plant is growing on hyperdrive so I ended up making pesto chicken salad. Now, this salad was amazingly delicious but unfortunately just doesn’t look nearly as good as it tastes so you have to trust me on this one.
