I love tomatoes! And sometimes I have too many tomatoes because in my garden they seem to get ripe at the same time. Or, in the winter, I buy too many. Here is a fantastic lunch or dinner option that you will love!  You know of course turkey can easily be substituted for chicken!

Bruschetta Salad with Grilled Chicken

 

Love pizza but trying to go low carb.? This one is for you! Yes, a low carb pizza frittata, just for you!

Feel like a low carb salad? You know cauliflower is so popular right now. Delicious, inexpensive and so very portable. Try one of these low carb cauliflower salads in a jar.  I personally use up a lot of cucumbers in my jarred salads.  Such an easy lunch idea!  Less lettuce, more other yummy veggies.

Tuna salad is always great on a sandwich. But, why not be all fancy and serve it on crackers? Perfect lunch, snack or as an appetizer!  I prefer this over chicken salad any day!

Dilly Tuna Salad

 

A great to-go lunch made by my friend for her husband to take to work. A fresh and easy-to-make hot lunch by just adding hot water. I think I'm going to make some for my lunches for the next few days!  Love healthy food lunches!

Healthy Mug Soup

 

Apple salad? Yes, this is a great adult lunch that is a refreshing change. Guessing the kids will want some too!

Korean BBQ sauce to dip your broccoli in? Yup, I'd eat more broccoli that way! I suspect this is a special family recipe that you will love!  A little rice and it's a vegetarian meal!  Or, if you are looking for a fun side to serve with beef, this is it!

I love cobb salads. Never thought of making a sub though! All those delicious foods in a sub. Need to use up some avocados?  This is the recipe!

I love tomatoes! This is my go-to lunch in the summer. Especially when tomatoes are in the garden or in season at the farmers market or grocery store.

Tomato and Kielbasa Salad

 

This is the perfect breakfast, lunch or supper sandwich. If you love scrambled eggs, you will love this sandwich. Many of us grew up with Western Sandwiches but you don't see them much anymore!

Another old favorite but with a twist. Bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches - but with an egg on top. You won't regret trying this one! This is another recipe I sometimes make for dinner, not just lunch!

Love Asparagus? This recipe is my copycat of an appetizer asparagus salad from an Italian restaurant I loved to go to. Now, when asparagus is in season, it is lunch. There is nothing better than this salad if you are an asparagus and feta lover!
