I am sure I’ve shared many times before that a lunch menu is often my greatest struggle. I ask myself…

What would only take a little time to prep?
What would be delicious?
What would be healthy?
What would be something different?

Recently my eyes spotted a veggie sandwich on Pinterest posted by Super Healthy Kids, and I was drawn in. The time to make it was minimal. It has an herbed cream cheese on the bread – yum! It didn’t have processed lunchmeat, and is served on whole grain bread, and it’s completely unlike what we normally have. Yes, it checked all the boxes!! I couldn’t wait to try it!

A “Good” Pasta Salad

Recently I was trying to think of what to fix for lunch and I opened one of my treasured Barefoot Contessa Cookbooks and found a recipe for a cold pasta salad. It combines some of my favorite flavors – sun-dried tomatoes and Mozzarella cheese. Though I didn’t have every ingredient that was listed, I knew I could improvise and make something very similar to the recipe on the page. I love her recipes and knew it would be delicious.

The results were so good!

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!

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!
