Although my Whole30 is done (how can you stick to Whole30 in Napa? I mean WINE…!), I am still trying to stick to clean eating while at home. I’m also trying to keep planning foods to bring to work. This Waldorf Chicken Salad ticks all of the boxes. Fresh, crunchy, creamy, Whole30 approved. Perfection!

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! And happy celebrating to anyone celebrating ANYTHING this month (I’m looking at you Christmas, Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, birthdays, and on some of these dark days we’ve had lately, I think we should celebrate just getting out of bed!).
We’ve enjoyed (and endured?) Christmas music, family togetherness and over the top decorating. We’ve gifted, baked, mailed cards, and peopled all month long. I’m exhausted, how about you? I think we all need to spend December 26th relaxing with these easy Caramelized Onion, Apple, and Brie Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!

I don’t know about you, but I frequently feel like I’m in a bit of a lunch rut. Either I’m busy and forget about lunch altogether or I jam in a quick sandwich or protein bar and call it a day. One of my “grown up resolutions” this year was to make lunch feel a little more special. To make things that are tasty, beautiful, and (mostly) nutritious.

This week on Good Food Reads, we are Thinking Outside the (Lunch) Box.

Ready for another cabin story? Well, sorry to disappoint. The only story here is that I was hungry (Well, I guess technically I WAS at the cabin). Hungry for a burger. A home grilled, oozy, gooey, flavorful burger. A BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger. And I wasn’t going to stop until I got it. …
I’ll admit it, I’m having a hard time reentering life after my fabulous trip to the Mediterranean. I’m back to work on a late evening shift (aka not enough sleep), I still have a million emails to catch up on, and to top it all off-I’m sick. I’m struggling to be good to myself, yet still give my kids and home the attention they need. As much as I would’ve loved to spend my waking hours this weekend in the kitchen, it just wasn’t going to happen. Instead I’m eating the Sopressata Sandwich….
Who doesn’t love Sloppy Joes? And these may be the best Sloppy Joes ever! These easy sandwiches are packed with lean ground beef, a delicious sauce and healthy vegetables!
Are you looking for a delectable way to get more veggies into your kids? Yep, me too. In a never ending battle to get more nutrition into the foods my kids eat, I developed a sloppy joe recipe brimming with extra nutrition. I knew Veggified Sloppy Joes were a winner when both of my kids asked for seconds. (and shhh…I found my teenager eating the leftovers the next day!)…
