Chicken Salad Bowl with Avocado, Strawberry, and Walnut {Paleo}

Chicken Salad Bowl with Avocado, Strawberry, and Walnut

I have a weird method of cooking for Mike and I.

One thing I adore about him is how even though he is a crazy-picky eater, if it’s a dish he likes, he doesn’t mind eating it for leftovers…for a week straight. Yup, I’m a lucky girl.

So as per his request, I usually end up making a big batch of one of his favorite meals and packing it up in individual portions so he can take one to work every day.

That leaves me on my own to make whatever I want for myself.

I usually raid the fridge or freezer for leftovers, or take a peek into the pantry to see what can be whipped up quickly. In the end, it’s usually a salad that I put together using any odds and end that we have on hand.

Chicken Salad Bowl with Avocado, Strawberry, and Walnut 3This satisfying salad came together that way, and I consider it proof that dinner doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated to be gorgeous. Some of the ingredients might sound strange in there, but everything comes together perfectly on your palate.

What is your go-to meal when you’re cooking for one?

    An odds and ends salad is usually my go-to lunch, as well. But I love the addition of mint and persian cukes in this one. I never would have thought of it, but it sounds fantastic.

I shipped cookies to my family members this year b I shipped cookies to my family members this year because I’m not heading home for the holidays, and when I was thinking about what to bake I knew I wanted a few new things on the lineup! I’ve been wanting to come up with a recipe for Eggnog Cookies for a while and I’m pretty proud of these. 🥰 I couldn't wait to share the recipe with you! These are like sugar cookies, soft and chewy inside and slightly crispy outside, but with a festive eggnoggy twist. 💫 And bonus, they take just over half an hour to whip up.
