Avocado & Chicken Salad Boats with hints of lime, cumin and cilantro. This delicious plate could easily become my new favorite lunch. The mashed avocado replaces mayonnaise in this recipe, lending numerous healthy benefits.

Tipico Power Bowl {with Grilled Chicken}
This might be my most favorite salad EVER. I’m sometimes reminded not to make statements that can’t stand the test of thyme. If you deliver me a Tipico Power Bowl {with Grilled Chicken} 5 days a week, I’m certain I will sing your praises.

Pico de Gallo {Put The Lime In The Coconut}
I had a salad this week that stopped me in my eating tracks. There was a lot going on with said salad. Which made my mind drift from the company at the table. No disrespect, but whoa what a salad.

Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna
The pictures don’t do this recipe justice, but I am here to tell you that Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna is pure comfort. Surprisingly, that comfort is delivered without a guilt trip. That’s right, this recipe came straight out of the new Weight Watchers cook book AND it’s made in the slow cooker. Badda bing. Badda boom.

Braciola {Italian Beef Rolls}
Braciole {Italian Beef Rolls} slowly simmered in spicy Arrabbiata sauce until the beef is fork tender. The filling, comprised of parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, Italian bread crumbs, garlic, toasted pine nuts, and hard-boiled egg, is my loose interpretation of this classic Italian dish.

Thai Basil Egg White Omelet Bowl
Most days, whether at home or the office I’ll have an Egg White Omelet Bowl for breakfast. A bed of spinach (getting my calcium anywhere I can), a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and scallions, and an egg white omelet packed with herbs. Today, my herb of choice was Thai Basil which is thriving in our Aero Garden presently. This Thai Basil Egg White Omelet Bowl fits in so nicely with my Healthy Choices plan.

Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl
Healthy Southwest Burrito Bowl. I went to Pet Smart during lunch to replenish Lilah’s food. Pet Smart is very close to Pier One. I was smack in the middle of Healthy Lunch Bowl Week. They sell really pretty bowls.

Mediterranean Lunch Bowl
So many beautiful colors and flavors in this Mediterranean Lunch Bowl. Roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts, luscious olives, orzo pasta, baby spinach, and grilled lemon & herb chicken. Pulled together from ingredients already in our fridge and pantry.

Spicy Shrimp Thai Buddha Bowl
I don’t think I’ve told you about my 2015 Challenge. My Healthy Choices walking buddy Bethany and I signed up to walk a combined two thousand fifteen miles in 2015. That’s five point five miles per day together or two point seven five miles each. every day. for 365 days. All that walking during our lunch hour, makes these girls hungry. I’m proposing Spicy Shrimp Thai Buddha Bowls all around.

Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
I had this vision of presenting a big bowl of Cream of Tomato Soup with Basil Pesto & a side of Mozzarella Dunkers aka Baked Mozzarella Cheese Sticks. You know the scene, a gorgeous bowl of tomato soup with a side grilled cheese sandwich. One glimpse and you’re committed. The epitomy of comfort.
