As many of you know, I’ve been visiting a nutritionist twice a week now for the past several months. Recently I’ve been feeling really inspired by some of the recipes she’s been sharing. Earlier this month the source of inspiration was from a grilled buffalo chicken recipe. Once I saw the recipe, all I could think about was my craving for buffalo chicken.

Lunchtime California Avocado Toast

Avocado Toast doesn’t have to be something to only enjoy at breakfast! Give this Lunchtime Avocado Toast recipe a try. Topped with fresh, California Avocados, tomatoes, pepperoni, banana peppers, roasted red peppers and cheese, it’s sure to be a lunchtime hit!

Avocado Toast has become all the rage lately, hasn’t it? For good reason! A thick slice of hearty bread toasted and topped with California Avocados and a myriad of other favorite toppings is about as good as it gets when it comes to really great food. Plus, Avocado Toast is so easy to customize to anyones liking. It’s no wonder people are turning to it during mealtime.

I’ve been visiting a local coffee shop lately known for serving incredible Avocado Toast. The problem is, I’m always hungry for it at lunch time, but they only serve the toast at breakfast. I think that’s a shame. In my opinion, Avocado Toast should be an anytime of day meal! …

Simple Beef and Swiss Roasted Asparagus Bundles

Kristen — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 19:06:35 +0000

Beef and Swiss Roasted Asparagus Bundles, featuring Oscar Mayer Select Naturals Slow Roasted Roast Beef, are a wonderful spring appetizer or simple lunch!

Oh friends, I am so itching for spring to get here, aren’t you? It’s starting to stay lighter, longer in the evening, the last couple of mornings birds have been chirping outside my window, and asparagus is starting to show up in our supermarkets again! I absolutely love that with the springtime season comes asparagus season! It’s one of my favorite vegetables.

Now, I may be jumping the gun on spring a little this year. The asparagus at the store is still pretty wimpy…not like the big, hearty stalks that will be here in the next month or two…but still. I just can’t resist it!…

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches Recipe

You won’t miss the chicken when you replace it with Bush’s Garbanzo Beans in this flavorful Chickpea Salad Sandwich recipe!

Oh friends…I am so excited to share this recipe with you today!

As you know, school is back in session for us, which means I’m no longer responsible for feeding my pesky kids at lunch time. Lunch time gets to be all about me, myself and I. It means no more “kid friendly” lunch food…instead I get to eat what I want and what I crave. I’ve recently discovered this is a big silver lining to my kids being at school all day. A little me time and a little grown up lunch time is definitely not a bad thing! …

Copycat Houlihan’s Asian Chicken Salad Recipe

Kristen — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 17:35:06 +0000

You’ll love this modified copy cat version of my favorite Asian Chop Chop Chicken Salad Recipe from Houlihan’s Restaurant.

I have been sitting down in front of this screen off and on for 2 days and can’t seem to come up with anything to say. Not because this Asian Chicken Salad recipe isn’t good… it’s so good! So very good. But as far as the words that need to go around the post, they just aren’t coming.

“Eat This”

“Yum”

“Mmmmmmmm…”

That should be simple enough, right? You don’t need for me to go into a flowery description of the food I place in front of you in order for you to decide if you want to make it, right? …

Weekly Menu Plan {Hero Sub Sandwich Recipe}

Kristen — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 02:56:19 +0000

The Dine & Dish Weekly Menu Plan plus a great game day recipe for a Hero Sub Sandwich with super simple sauce! This recipe proves that sandwich night doesn’t have to be boring!

Can we talk about bologna? We can? Good. I have to get something off my chest. So…I love bologna.

Bologna seems to fall into 3 categories. 1 – people who love it. 2 – people who hate it. 3 – people who just want to ask you “do you know what part of the pig bologna comes from?”. For the record, I don’t want to know, but thank you.

I don’t love bologna in an eat it every day kind of way. I love bologna in a nostalgic, sandwich from my childhood on Wonder bread and American cheese kind of way. I remember specific events that happened in my life and when I think back I was often holding a smooshed bologna and cheese sandwich on white bread in my hands. We even had a fried bologna and cheese type sandwich on our school lunch menu. Can you imagine Michelle Obama allowing that now?…
