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.

Simple Chicken Salad

       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...

Autumn Chopped Kale Salad | Pumpkin Seeds, Cranberries & Pecorino with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

Image
We rolled in at 2am last night from Mexico - we had Mike's sister's wedding over the weekend!  Obviously, I have no idea what we're having for dinner tonight, let alone this week, so instead of a weekly menu, I'm sharing this salad I promised a couple of weeks ago.  Hope you don't mind too much : ) This is my favorite Fall salad.  I order it from one of our favorite dinner spots - it has so many flavors and textures.  It goes great with my Apple Cider Roasted Pork Loin  and Cheddar Grits, or is great to add some color and freshness to any comforting autumn dinner.  When I served this at home, everyone said - this is a perfect Thanksgiving Salad.  I also like to add sliced rotisserie chicken to make it an all-in-one meal, or served with a butternut squash soup.  Yum - maybe that is what we'll have for dinner!   Pumpkin Seed & Cranberry Kale Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette  4-6 cups of kale, chopped 1-2 apples, medium chunks pumpkin...
