Happy Monday!
What’s in your lunchbox this week? I hate the amount of time I spend prepping lunches on Sunday but you know what I hate more? Being hangry, eating junk and spending a ton of money each week going out for lunch or ordering in. All of these places that deliver now (Chipotle, Panera…) make it even more tempting to order something on the fly.
This week I made these delicious chicken souvlaki lunch bowls which is a
watered down version of a meal my family has all the time. We love making a big chicken souvlaki salad with Greek lemon rice and pita. This lunch bowl is basically a chicken salad, but the dressing and marinade make it yummy enough to eat a few days in a row so you won’t be sick of it by Friday.
