My mom and I spent the morning shopping today, which meant by the time we got home for lunch we were STARVING. I think the poor food choices we make oftentimes occur right at this very moment. Hungry takes over our senses and we grab whatever we see first…for the next fifteen minutes…until we suddenly feel a little less hungry and we have no idea where the plate of cookies, box of crackers, and bag of potato chips went. However, if in this very moment we are able to make a good decision, our eating choices can go in a completely different decision. Lucky for me, my mom’s pantry and fridge is always full of healthy awesome food. She suggested a quick and easy lunch that is packed with protein and good fat. It took like a minute to throw together, and was so delicious.

With kids and crazy schedules, I am always looking for quick, easy and healthy lunches. Love this. I love all those things, but would have never thought to put them all together. Thanks!
My moms pantry, freezer, fridge, counter tops-pretty much anywhere you look are oozing with treats or candy. Definitely the opposite and definitely hard to be around without doing some damage. Lol.
It is so tasty Meg! You’ll love it. It sounds like I should be spending some more time at your mom’s house…I love that our mom’s/your aunt are all quilting buddies!! Seriously makes my day!
I was just looking for something healthy like this, thank you thank you!
Of course my darling. It is seriously my new favorite! I have had it for lunch the past 3 days in a row…I hope life is treating you well. I am in AWE of how dang crafty you are!! xoxoxo
