I love love love that my man does not feel the need to eat meat and potatoes every meal to prove his manliness. Jake is a very health conscious person - sometimes more than me, which is surprising. I love this about him. He's not afraid to eat a salad as the main entree. And because of this, we had this delicious southwest chicken salad for dinner last night.
(okay, this isn't actually a picture of our salad, it's from the internet. But it did look that good, I promise)
This great salad recipe came from a genius creation by Kraft. It's called a Sizzling Salad Dinner Kit and it has been the the catalyst for a few great meals.
The kit comes with a sauce for your meat, dressing for your salad, and a recipe on the back with recommended ingredients/toppings for your salad. It also has alternative ideas for changing the recipe into a wrap or substituting the meat. Although it is a bit pricier than I would like, it is sooo much better than eating the same old chicken salad where all I know how to do is change the dressing. I have enjoyed some great salads from these with some delicious meat!
If you're feeling stuck in a salad rut this is a fantastic option to spice up your collection :-)
Maybe I will have to give that a try. When I don't have to feed my picky, picky boys of course. I love a good salad, but I love meat and potatoes too. Meat is just so dang expensive we don't eat a whole lot of it.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat a lot of meat because I don't like to take the time to cook it ;-). Do you get your boys to eat salad at all?
ReplyDeleteMy boys don't really like salad. It's okay though they are pretty good about eating other vegetables. There are many nights the first thing they eat on their plates is the vegetable because they don't want the main dish. I love that they are good about fruits and veggies, but those things are very filling.
