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!
