So I’ve really been trying to spice up my meal plan recently. Not because I don’t love salads for lunch because I actually really do, but I know that there are times I get stuck in a routine, and I hate when I get bored. Boredom with my meal plans usually lead to digressing from my plans and eating things that really don’t agree with me or my hips.
Usually I have a salad for lunch with some chicken and a touch of balsalmic/ EVOO dressing. But this week, I just didn’t want it!
So I decided to spice uup my salad with this little ditty. Please note, my measurements are close guesses. I am like my grandmother- no measurements just guesses.
