Best Lunch EVAH!
 

Left over ground chicken taco salads :)

1 cup taco seasoned ground chicken
1/4 cup shredded mozza
1/4 cup diced onions, tomato's, red peppers
4 cups lettuce (I like LARGE salads)
4 T salsa
2 T fat free ranch...

OMG heaven in a bowl. So super yum!

what did you have today?

I had a chicken salad sandwich using Arnold's sandwich thins, chicken tarragon with slivered almonds, a thin slice of white cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and onion. On the side I had 3 slices of honeydew and 1 serving of baked bbq chips. For a sweet treat, I had a 100 calorie pudding from kozy shack. It was pretty tasty!! :)

OMG that salad sounds yummyyyy! I have to try that soon!

ooo that does sound yummy! I had a chicken sandwich, small salad and some cherries :)

Love it! I skip the cheese (doesn't agree with me) and add a little roasted corn from Trader Joe's (comes frozen, I just nuke my desired portion in the microwave) and a few tortilla strips for CRUNCH.

Sometimes, I make tacos for dinner JUST so I can make taco salads for lunch with the leftovers! It's one of my favs.

I'm not really a huge taco salad person - but I do enjoy the naked burrito bowl things from places like Chipolte & Qudoba. I just get them with rice, chicken, lettuce, light cheese, sour cream, and 1/2 regular mild salsa and 1/2 corn salsa. Yummy!

I had a Subway 6" roasted chicken sandwich with tons of veggies and tons of Dijon mustard. It was sooooo good and quite filling! I know it's not as good as your salad, but maybe I will make your salad this week! Yum! I like that the Subway sandwich has 320 calories...that makes it easy for me to count. I also don't get cheese because it not only doesn't agree with me, but it also adds more calories and I can't really tell it's in there anyway. ;)

I ate 3 ham & cheese grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch today. YUM YUM~Was 510 calories.
But I was running low on stuff Since I go grocery shopping 2morrow.
I love salads too Just out of all my stuff~Will be feeling up the fridge & cabinets again 2morrow. I grocery shop once a week only to remain on a strict budget LOL~even If I forget something ~I go once a week....Unless it is super important to have....I am such a penny pincher the older I get LOL!

By the way~cfmama~Look how close you are to onederland! You are zooming through those pounds~I AM SO DANG PROUD OF YOU!

I way over slept today so I had a bagel w/1 tbsp of cream cheese for "lunch"

when I do taco salads i put only a sprinkle of cheese, and I add a serving of crunched up tortilla chips. the extra crunch is worth the calories for me.

I LOVE chicken taco salads.

My lunch was an enormous salad - romaine hearts, grape tomatoes, orange bell peppers, red onions, cut up clementine with balsamic vinegar. With a yogurt.

That was fabulous. But I really want to tell you about my dinner.

Homemade pureed veggie soup - soooo good. Fabulous homemade pesto on salmon fillet. It was delectable. Andd OMG - so good - I made zucchini ribbons. I sauteed a sliced onion in a drop of oil, then I added the ribbons and a clove of crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper and a little Parmesan cheese. It's like I was eating an enormous bowl of the very best pasta.

3 1/2 years later and I am STILL amazed at how wonderful healthy foods can be :drool:. I am amazed and grateful to have discovered this.

In keeping with the South of the Border Theme...

Dinner was a WW tortilla stuffed with a third cup of black beans, some homemade chile verde made with super-lean pork, 1/2 oz of LF Monterey Jack cheese, topped with chopped scallions, halved grape tomatoes, a cup of chopped lettuce, fresh salsa and a TB of LF sour cream.

<berp> EXXXXX-cellent!!!!

I keep hearing about the wonders of zucchini ribbons and it sounds like something I'd totally dig -- I adore zucchini.

I guess I never really asked...how do you ribbon your zucchini? I have a friend that does it with a potato peeler, but is there some other trick to it? I keep telling myself I have to try it.

Yes, I use a vegetable peeler. I hold the zucchini straight up and down on one end. I rotate it and keep peeling and peeling away. Try it. Try it. Try it.

Oh that sounds SO FREAKING GOOD RR! I'm going to give that a try this weekend :)

How do you make your taco chicken? I put breasts in my crockpot with taco seasoning or sometimes taco sauce and let it cook...

I use extra lean ground chicken breast and a packet of predone taco seasoning ;)

Ooooh, thanks for all of the inspiration with the yummy meals!

I just had an egg salad sandwich that I made with a tablespoon of miracle whip on whole wheat bread, and a cup of baby carrots. Not the most inventive, but it hit the spot. I really need to start trying new things, this past week I ate turkey sandwiches all week for lunch except today!

I'm having a serving of Fiesta Salad and a 3oz grilled chicken breast. The Fiesta Salad Rocks!
