Roasted Chicken & Goat Cheese Salad with Lemon Dijon & Cranberries | To-Go

Image
This week, I took lunch to the School House girls since they've been working so hard on packing up orders from the fall launch.  I've added these Kraft To-Go Boxes (set of 10, $6) to the store just for moments like these.  We've used them so much in just the last week that I've had them at my house.  Emma and I put sliced baguette, cheese and apples in for an impromptu picnic, too - so glad to be able to just recycle it when we're at the park instead of dragging it home to clean. I've also used them to pack up leftovers for lunches - if we don't plan to eat them right away, I can wrap in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer for another night.    They are also great for Boxed Lunches for Baby or Bridal Showers - especially at a casual party.  Everyone can grab a box - they can be tied with ribbons and pretty paper napkins.

Perfect BLTs | Summer Lunch at The School House

Image
Emma and I treated the girls to lunch this week at The School House .  I really like simple food in the summer so BLTs were the perfect lunch for a super hot July day.  The School House has been open for 3 months now, so it was a good time to catch up with the team to get some feedback from them.  They have done such an amazing job taking over the packaging and fulfillment and teaching themselves the business.  We have very few packaging errors (and when one or two pops up - they take it so personally!) and they really do take pride in making sure each package is beautifully assembled.  I LOVE how well they take care of my customers.   Read more about The School House, here > The School House is in my hometown of Lexington, Missouri.  It is about an hour from my house, so try to get there once every couple of weeks. When we do, we always stop by the local farmstands to see what's in season.  Our favorite is my cousin's - Fahrmeier Farms . ...

Simple Chicken Salad

Image
       You can buy or make Chicken Salad.  Emma LOVES chicken salad, so I usually make a big at the beginning of the week for our lunches.  She takes it in a small kitchen container to eat with ritz crackers and I usually have mine with a half of an avocado or as a sandwich.   Our recipe is simple - roasted chicken, celery, red grapes, red onions and mayo.  I keep chicken breasts in the freezer (I usually buy an all natural version from Target or Costco), so I can whip it up anytime.  I roast the chicken on a sheet pan with parchment for about 20 minutes, then let it cool and chop it or shred it. Chicken Salad Recipe 3-4 chicken breasts olive oil sea salt .... 1 cup of grapes, sliced 1-2 stalks of celery, minced 2 tablespoons of red onion, minced mayo  (I usually try to go pretty light on the mayo, but add as much as you like) Roast chicken breasts on a sheet pan in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 375 degrees until cooked all the way throu...
