H is for healthy eating!

Okay, following along in my New Year's Resolution to shape up. I have been eating healthier..... we will see how long this last! For dinner the other night I kept it casual and made chicken salad sandwiches from a recipe I found online at cookinglight.com. (Photo from Cooking Light too.) Even the husband who usually barks at low calorie or whole grain foods loved this meal!

The curry was key... it added a ton of flavor! I am hoping to start making this on Sunday now for lunches on Monday and Tuesday! My weakness is buying lunch at work- something I used to never do and now I always do! This recipe could make me stop that bad habit!

Check out this Curry Chicken Salad recipe for yourself. It is awesome!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions
• 2 (2-ounce) whole wheat hamburger buns
