sandwich – Arkansas Women Bloggers

I love cooking, but some nights when I get home from work, I don’t want to spend lots of time in the kitchen. Or some days when it’s really hot, the thought of standing over the stove isn’t appealing. We love sandwich night at our house because it gets dinner on the table fast, and often, it doesn’t involve any cooking.

I love chicken salads, but many of them are made with fruit, and my husband doesn’t love sweetness in his savory dishes. So I created a very savory chicken salad that he loves. Mexican chicken salad is full of juicy corn, flavorful green chilis and crispy red onions. Get the recipe here.

Each week for the past year I’ve made these breakfast sandwiches for Mr. McKinney. I need a little variety in my life, but he can eat the same darn thing every, single, day. I came up with the recipe when we were both trying to do a little better with our eating. We jumped on the Weight Watchers campaign, tried the myfitnesspal app for a while and then learned if we watched what we ate instead of watched everything we eat go in our mouths, we could find the balance we were seeking. That and an evening stroll around the neighborhood with our dog Bailey always helped too!

Mr. McKinney was driving through McDonald’s in the mornings for an egg white delight, which is a great option if you can afford to eat out breakfast every morning or travel a lot. Then, we tried the Jimmy Dean frozen option and still with a 250 or below calorie count, they were a good option. But, I’m always convinced I can make something better and cheaper than we can just buy pre-made so the challenge was on! <she says with her hands on her hip in domestic diva mode>
