I threw lots o’ roasted veggies on top of a bed of romaine lettuce before topping the mix with homemade chicken salad.
I made the chicken salad using leftover pulled chicken, light Miracle Whip, dijon mustard and frozen sweet corn kernels that I let thaw overnight.
Before digging in, I shook everything up so little pieces of chicken would pop up with each yummy bite.
Gotta love a good veggie-overload!

Do you have feelings of inadequacy?
Do you suffer from shyness?
Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist about Margaritas.
Margaritas are the safe, natural way to feel better and more confident about yourself and your actions. Margaritas can help ease you out of your shyness and let you tell the world that you’re ready and willing to do just about anything.
You will notice the benefits of Margaritas almost immediately and with a regimen of regular doses you can overcome any obstacles that prevent you from living the life you want to live.
Shyness and awkwardness will be a thing of the past and you will discover many talents you never knew you had. Stop hiding and start living, with Margaritas.
Margaritas may not be right for everyone. Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use Margaritas. However, women who wouldn’t mind nursing or becoming pregnant are encouraged to try it.

Dizziness, nausea, vomiting, incarceration
Erotic lustfulness
Loss of motor control
Loss of clothing
Loss of money
Loss of virginity
Table dancing
Headache
Dehydration
Dry mouth
And a desire to sing Karaoke
WARNING:
The consumption of Margaritas may make you think you are whispering when you are not.

Will you be celebrating Cinco de Mayo today? Drinking a margarita? Making Mexican food for dinner?

Did you add any other dressing to your lunch salad?
peanutbutterfingers says
nope! the chicken salad actually added enough moisture to the entire salad on its own.
midgetkeeper says
Yes! I will be having a margarita, it is my favorite drink in the whole while world and I will definitely enjoy one.

I am so happy I found your blog because believe it or not I have a blog almost identical to yours , all about healthy clean eating, fitness, and just over all inspirations for others to be healthy, I also provide daily recipes with pictures mostly on what I had that day, its crazy I guess there are more people like me outhere, I love your blog, its so inspiring, and I love how you keep it personal as well, makes it more entertaining. Thanks to you I have discovered the goodness of crock pot 🙂 I had it for two years almost just sitting there, my mom gave me as a gift when I was getting married, and I never ever used it. That same night I threw in 3 chicken breasts over night with bunch of herbs and spices, and chicken stock, OMG in the morning when I was getting it out, the meat was litterly falling off the bone yam!!! I already posted a recipe on my blog for healthy inchilada using shredded chicken, you can check it out. I invite you to come and visit my blog, you can find tons of healthy nutritious recipes, and other fun stuff. Well, you seem like a very likable person, because I like you already from what I saw so far on this blog.
