Here are the recipes that we will be making this week (links below). If you try any, please let me know what you think!

These two recipes are our go-to recipes (Chicken Shawarma and Copycat Chipotle Chicken). Both recipes are super easy, delicious, healthy, and make quite a bit of leftovers for us to have salad bowls for lunches. Our kids, who tend to be picky eaters, absolutely love them both! My younger son would eat the homemade tzatziki by the spoonful if we let him. If you are looking for a store bought hummus to go with the chicken shawarma, you must try Good & Gather Roasted Garlic Hummus from Target (also great with bell peppers and Veggie Straws...yes Veggie Straws).

Here is how we make our homemade tzatziki recipe:

• 1.5 cups fat free Greek yogurt
• Half a cucumber peeled, shredded, and water squeezed out
• 1/2 tsp garlic
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• a pinch of salt

Put everything in a food processor and blend until smooth. Enjoy with the chicken shawarma or as a veggie dip!

Two of these recipes, the Shrimp Pad Thai and Navel Orange Salad w/ Avocado are new ones, but from SkinnyTaste. I don’t know if I have tried a recipe of hers that I didn’t like, and she has all of the WW points listed for each one, which is so nice! For the salad, we will grill up some Schwan’s chicken breast to serve with it. And since my kids likely won’t eat either meal, we will be making them the standard chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries, and bell peppers and some tomato soup and grilled cheese (if you have it available, try this bread-Angelic Bakehouse). I linked a couple of the products that we love, and for others checkout my highlights on Instagram. The Buffalo Chickpea Salad is a recipe we have made several times, and it’s so easy, yummy, and low WW pts. We add some feta cheese for a little more tang. Enjoy!
