Skinny Pimento Cheese
I'm a Texas girl and I have a natural love for pimento cheese. I think it's in our veins down here. A staple in our fridge and our lives.
I know from personal experiences that a lot of people in the northern states cannot buy this in the store. Honestly, I was shocked when my grandmother, a Texan born and raised, told me that she's never seen pimento cheese in any grocery store in Oregon (where she now lives.) And even more shocked when someone else from the north had no idea what I was talking about. "Oh, like... that has olives in it?" - No! That's pimento loaf! Totally different…

Read MoreCalifornia Cottage Cheese Bowl
What can I say? When I originally posted this tasty little lunch, I hadn't had cottage cheese in a long time. In fact... I couldn't even remember when the last time was that I had it! These days though? It's a pretty regular fridge staple for me. And it all started right here with this quick and easy recipe!
Cottage cheese had my mind ever since my mom mentioned it a few weeks before when she was trying to think of a way to make the Skinny PB&J Parfait even lighter. We didn't get very far with the notion since... I'm not a huge fan of sweetness with my cottage cheese for whatever reason. I'm still not onboard with that...
Read MoreTurkey Wrapped BLT
If you're looking for a low-carb and gluten-free lunch option, then you're in for a treat with this turkey wrapped BLT. Instead of using bread, use turkey slices as a wrap for the bacon, lettuce, and tomato filling.
This twist on the classic BLT is not only healthier, but it's also just as satisfying. The savory and salty flavor of turkey pairs perfectly well with the crisp lettuce and juicy tomato, while the smoky bacon adds a rich flavor to the mix. This meal is easy to prepare and make-ahead, which makes it convenient for those who are busy but still want something delicious and nutritious for lunch…
Read MoreSpinach & Strawberry Salad
Yes, I'm a huge salad fan. I love all the veggies and different ways to dress up your leafy greens with one dressing or another. Plus, there's just something refreshing about indulging in a crisp cool salad when it's upwards of 80... 90... 100 degrees. Which we’ve already gone over 80 here!
So I guess what I'm saying is... be prepared for the montage of salad recipes that are sure to come this way through the next few months. Strawberry and spinach salad is actually one of my old favorites. I think it was one of the first salads that I ever had feta cheese on. It could even be when I fell in love with feta cheese…
