Since my mom was planning to be at our house around 9 a.m., after publishing my morning blog post, I headed into the kitchen to pack a lunch to bring with me in a cooler since my mom and I were planning to drive through lunchtime.
I packed chicken salad, a cup of strawberry banana Greek yogurt and an apple the size of my face into the cooler. I also packed a baggie of blue corn chips for dipping into the chicken salad.
I made my chicken salad by combining the following:
- 1 large chicken breast, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Smart Balance Omega Plus Light Mayonnaise Dressing (The company sent me this to try and I hate mayonnaise, but really like it! It reminds me of Miracle Whip which I actually do like!)
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons relish
Easy!
It reminded me a lot of my BBQ chicken salad or curried chicken salad, but with less ingredients. Not too shabby for lunch out of a cooler!
And now for a nutty giveaway…
Nuts.com Giveaway
A few weeks ago, I received an email from an account executive with Nuts.com.
Knowing that I’m a peanut butter and nut-lover, he reached out to me asking if I would like to sample some of their nuts.
Of course!
I selected a pound of butter toffee pecans and have enjoyed snacking on them daily.
Pecans are my all-time favorite nut and the butter toffee flavor adds the perfect punch of sweetness.
I’ve loved eating them by the handful or stirring them into Greek yogurt, oatmeal or even pancake batter!
And now you have a chance to win a pound of Nuts.com butter toffee pecans.
To enter this giveaway, please comment below, telling me your favorite way to enjoy nuts.
(Keep it PG, please. 
)
I will randomly select a winner tomorrow.
Good luck!

I love nuts! ON MY ICE CREAM!! Or on waffles and pancakes! 🙂
definitely in trail mix….or pecan pie! 😉
Santa left some buttered toffee almonds in my stocking this year and I sprinkled a few into my pancakes while they were on the griddle. So yummy!
I love to keep a tin of almonds on my desk at work. They’re filling and prevent me from hitting the snack machine!
In cookies for sure!!
I eat them everyday for the Omega-3s! I stir them into yogurt for breakfast and that’s my fav way to eat them!
I love nuts! 🙂 That’s PG ..
Love them in salads, oatmeal, and in trail mix! I also keep a bag of almonds at my desk for hunger attacks!!
I love nuts on top of a salad, or just by themselves as an afternoon snack!
I must admit, pistachios are my absolute favorite! There’s something oddly satisfying about having to put a little work into cracking them open before getting to enjoy!
I love them in salads!
I never used to like nuts as a child, but I have come to love them in the past few years. Some favs: walnuts, macadamia nuts, and pecans. Yum!
Peanut butter, baby! Chunky styleee 😉
in oatmeal, pancakes and on ice cream:)
I have just started getting into nuts. I like adding sliced almonds or chopped walnuts to oatmeal and yogurt. I like eating a handful of pecans for a snack. And of course I am addicted to any kind of nut butter.
I love nuts!! I love them in salads, yogurt, oatmeal, and just by themselves. They add that perfect crunch!
I like adding nuts to my smoothies!
On ice cream!
I eat them daily on salads!! Love it. They are also perfect to grab for a quick snack when I’m in a hurry!
I love nuts by themselves the best.
i love eating nuts by themselves. so delicious!
I love nuts as a snack during the day — walnuts & pecans are my favorite!
I love nuts with dried cranberries!
I need nothing to go with my nuts, especially toffee ones! I eat them right out of the bag…not so good for portion control 🙂
On a salad or right out of the container works for me!
Ahh this snack is my favorite but it is SOO dangerous. I will take nuts (favorite is cashew) and stuff them inside of dates. Sweet n’ salty!
I like a post about that says ‘what don’t nuts go with’! I agree! But I especially enjoy them in fro yo or ice cream 🙂
Best way- straight out of a bag! Or in cookies and brownies
ANY WAY to enjoy nuts is how i like to eat them- im obsessed w nuts and nut butters so as long as im eating them im happy!
Yummy lunch! My fave nuts are pecans as well and my favorite way to eat them is either in my oatmeal or yogurt. And toffee pecans sound AMAZING so I’d probably eat them plain 🙂
I like to eat them straight out of the bag!
I love bringing a small container of nuts for an after workout treat driving home from the gym.
In creamy peanut butter! Or on top of yogurt parfaits 🙂
Love nuts in trail mix!
Spanish peanuts on icecream! So so gooooood!!
I prefer to eat them alone or paired with an apple
trail*
I love to eat nuts in trial mix!
I love nuts in oatmeal!
Oh, have you ever had the Cocoa dusted almonds in the 100 calorie packs????
Freakin’ amazing.
I love all nuts! I always say,
“I’ve never met a nut I didn’t like!”
Har har. But it’s so true!
It depends on how I’m eating the nuts-by themselves or IN something.
For general snacking (which is how I consume most of nuts), almonds and honey-roasted peanuts are probably my favorite.
At Christmas time, I eat more pistachios and brazil nuts.
Walnuts are great in brownies.
Yes. I agree to keep it PG 100%….but oh, how the mind wanders. *wink*
I eat them right of the bag as a snack. Or butter toffee pecans would probably taste great on vanilla ice cream!
In icecream of course! Adding crunch to icecream is like the icing on the cake!!
On salad! Those would be great on a salad with bbq chicken and cranberries! Yum sweet and savory!
Chipotle nuts are seriously the bomb diggity .
My favorite are walnuts!! I like them raw, and I throw them in yogurt, oatmeal, or eat them plain. They are one of my very favorite foods!
I like to enjoy them in my oatmeal or right out of the bag!
Ooooh I love nuts in Greek yogurt! What a fabulous giveaway!
I love to bake pecans with cinnamon sugar and drizzle maple syrup on top! Delish!!!
I loveeee cashews and almonds for a quick snack to hold me over until lunch/dinner.
I just love grabbing a handful whenever I want something to snack on!
I like to make a mixture of yogurt & oatmeal and top it with nuts and shredded coconut.
My favorite way to enjoy nuts is a handful of almonds a few times a week.
