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.

A Busy Mom’s Lunch: Slow Kettle Soup

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!

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.

5 Perfect Lunch Salads with #DixieQuicktakes

July 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

Lunch options in or near my office are very limited. Like a single cafe with boring sandwiches kind of limited. So, I like to take my lunch as much as possible. Not only does it give me lots more options but it also helps me save money.  Now that the weather is warmer, I am definitely focused on salads more but tend to avoid lettuce based salads because they don’t hold up very well in travel. I was thinking about my lunch menu for upcoming weeks and came up with five perfect lunch salads.

These are five awesome ideas for lunch salads plus a great way to transport them.

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.

Pesto Chicken Salad

June 12, 2014 By Shannah Coe 4 Comments

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.

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.
