This morning Abby and I headed out to her dance class and then to run some errands. Being a good little Mommy, I packed a snack for Abby but forgot one for me. Come on, I said good little Mommy, not perfect, not great. I'll try again next time....
Anyway, our last stop of the whirlwind tour (during which I repeatedly told Abby, "We are on a mission here!") was the grocery store. DEADLY! Everything looked and smelled amazing. I was tempted to grab something quick and easy, and then I realized I had quick and easy and healthy at home. We bought only what we went in to buy, completed our mission and set out for home.
When we walked in, I sent Abby to take off her shoes and wash her hands while I got lunch ready. Before her little hands were cleaned and dried, this was on the table!
Healthy Buffalo Chicken Salad
1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Franks Red Hot Wings Buffalo sauce*
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 cups of cubed cooked chicken (about 1 rotisserie chicken)
2 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, minced
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
*I put in a little less, opting to add more if I wanted/needed to
Abby declared it too spicy, so she opted for a plain chicken breast, grapes and yogurt. But I enjoyed the spicy, tangy yumminess of this salad on a couple of low sodium triscuit crackers. Lemon water and some grapes along side it and I had a far better choice than any of the "quick and easy" I could have grabbed at the store. And it was ready because I made time on Sunday to make it. What a save--I'm telling you, this prep business really works. Maybe I am great after all? Nah....
