I’m excited that we have a couple weeks at home! That means I get to cook for us, which requires planning ahead. I’m going to go for some good protein and low fat meals. I have gone to my Pinterest boards and pulled some new recipes to try. Healthy and delicious, is my goal! If you need some inspiration for your menus this week, check below for some scrumptious suggestions!

Hearty Turkey Sloppy Joe’s
About two weeks ago, I posted a little video on Instagram of lunch being made. I fixed a Turkey Sloppy Joe that day. It’s such a great midday meal! I found this healthy and hearty Sloppy Joe recipe on the Weight Watchers site. It makes a lot, so I know I have many servings ready! This is great for fixing for a group, or just your family’s weekly lunchtime. Don’t let “Weight Watchers” make you leery! This is simply lower in calories because it’s made with ground turkey. The flavors are incredible!

What’s for Lunch? Chicken Tostadas
Coming up with what to have for lunch is the most difficult meal decision I make! I need protein, but don’t want to fix something huge for the noon meal, nor do I want to prepare something that’s going to take much time. I try to keep it simple, but filling.
For that reason I try to always have cooked chicken breasts in the freezer. I put the prepared meat in small ziplock bags so I can thaw it quickly in the microwave. One day recently I pulled a bag of chicken out and said, “Lord, what can I make for lunch with this meat? (How awesome is it that we can pray about everything?) I then remembered that I had tostada shells in my pantry. Bingo! That would make a great, fast meal! Lunch was ready in 15 minutes!

Fresh Taco Salad for Lunch
I often find lunch a difficult meal to make. I could probably fix a different kind of sandwich every day and be a happy camper, but I try to limit bread, so I don’t want to make us sandwiches very often. So what are we to have that will be filling, healthy and delicious?
I found this recipe for Fresh Taco Salad in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine years ago and found that it was the perfect recipe for lunchtime! It has all the taco flavors we love served in the form of a healthy salad.
This comes together in minutes, making it a easy to prepare for a lunch meal!

Corn Dogs at Home!
This summer when our city was having the fair, our small group from church was scheduled to have our monthly dinner together. My husband suggested that we fix “Fair food” for our meal. We all jumped on that idea like… mustard on a corn dog!
I was anxious to try my hand at making at home!
As it turns out, they were very easy to make and we loved them!
