mommabakes my sister and her family will be here this week. They all do low carb and my niece doesn't eat red meat. I'm making the lemon chicken salad that's been floating around here, fish tacos with cilantro slaw and I think Hawaiian chicken kabobs with grilled veggies Edited for autocorrect fail

mommabakes, i've shared this recipe several times - it's my go too because it's easy and healthy. Santa Fe Crockpot Chicken: put chicken in crockpot - season with cumin, garlic powder, Cayenne pepper, chili pepper, black pepper. 2 cans black beans drained 1 can corn drained 1 can rotel 2 cups salsa Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours Shred chicken, stir, put shredded cheese on top and let melt. Serve. Serving suggestions: Over rice topped with cilantro, raw onion, avocado, and sour cream In tortilla with same toppings By itself with a salad. Also, recipe calls for 1 pound of chicken and I think serves like 6 - adjust as needed.

Pizzaslut, Marinate chicken thighs in olive oil and spices ( I have one called pizza spices) Make salad Start some thick cut bacon, remove when not quite crisp. use pan to cook thighs. Place atop salad. Slice avocados and spoon out (you should use at least 3). Make dressing with balsamic and olive oil with an immersion blender. Stuff into your face hole.

Peekaru, I definitely thought you meant like a mayo-based chicken salad, but with avo. Lol. Your recipe sounds delicious too though. I will probably try it soon.

Last night I did a salad with romaine, beet greens, raw candy cane beets, English peas lightly sautéed in olive oil with scapes, cucumber, tempeh bacon, and a lemon-olive oil-scape-chives dressing.
Tonight— bok choy-broccoli-carrot-tofu roasted with sesame oil, chiles and coconut aminos and topped with a poached egg
Then— quinoa risotto with basil scape pesto stirred in, and topped with roasted zucchini
— pattypan squash "steaks" and kohlrabi mash
— English peas sautéed with olive oil, mint and scapes plus a tbd fish
— roasted veggies over quinoa, with a yogurt-dill-chive sauce

OK reading comprehension fail. My avocado chicken salad is like what Pizzaslut mentioned- shredded chicken, avocado, and spices as a sandwich. I just saw bacon and got all crazy Just put bacon on your avocado chicken salad sandwich! Perfect. OMG I want this sandwich right now.

I am actually on week two of being meat free. It was actually a Nellie's egg commercial on Pandora that did it for me haha... but I am going to the farmers market today and *may* get some local meat if I like what the farmers have to say. I know you've mentioned that your H isn't a vegetarian. Do you ever throw meat into the mix for him? MH has been good this week but definitely told me he'd like some meat next week..

layloo, my H calls himself a "flexitarian." So, he eats veg probably 80-90% of the time, but will throw meat into the mix a couple times a month. I don't usually cook meat unless it's for a special occasion (a bday, a holiday, etc), but sometimes MH will get something for himself that he can easily cook and have as an add on to a meal I've planned. And if we get takeout, or if we go out, he'll often use that as an opportunity to get meat. He makes a point of going out for a hamburger once/ month.

Also, my meals sound fancier than they really are. I get a CSA share which works out to about $26/ week for more veggies than I can go through. There are always fun things like scapes, pattypan squash, kohlrabi, etc that I have to find a way to use. My share that I pick up on Monday is supposed to include squash blossoms and dandelion greens.

layloo MH only eats farmer's market type meat. But he was a full on meat eater for years when we lived together, but only ate it out or if he got it and cooked it for himself (which he never did). Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

coconutbacon kohlrabi is H's favorite! No one (including me at first) ever knows what he's talking about. I saw it yesterday but didn't get it. Maybe I will next time!

coconutbacon, the CSA sounds great! I will look and see if we have something like that. The farmers market was great but a little far to go to weekly.
