Meal Plan Monday #17

Sharing is caring!

Has your summer been calm or hectic?  Mine continues to be crazy, and I’m so over it.  I admit that I don’t like when my plans get changed.  It’s just one of those things I don’t deal with very well, and that seems to be the story of this summer!  I am so proud of myself for sticking to my meal plan even with all the changes.  It’s like a lifeline in a sea of craziness!  I hope things calm down soon though.  I can’t take much more.

The recipe that I’m reviewing this week is the Autumn Chopped Salad.  Now this recipe isn’t new to me, I tried it for the first time last summer, but I’ve never taken the time to review it here before.  I love this salad.  The flavor combinations are amazing.  I wasn’t so sure about it the first time I tried it, but it is truly amazing.  I eat it a lot.  It does have some more pricy items (the cost of a bag of pecans is crazy), but I get multiple salads out of all of the ingredients.  I usually can even cut the pear in half, put the unused half in a baggie in the fridge, and use it again for the salad a week later.  So when I look at how far everything goes it’s not too bad.  It isn’t the lowest calorie salad, but it is easy to make which is always a plus in my book.  It is far more filling than you might think, so a big salad is really going to fill you up.
