Y’all! It’s that time of year to get our skinny on. It’s spring time which means shorts and bathing suits are in our near future. I think bathing suits and I think…SUCKS! I am embracing the SUCK and starting off this eating lean season with this super easy and delicious Greek Salad In A Jar recipe. I may not like the aspect of getting lean but I do love this recipe to help me in my endeavor. My favorite part…this recipe makes up enough for 4 lunches. Perfect for skinny lunch meal prep!
So, this past weekend the “3 Ring Circus” (that’s what I lovingly refer to as my family of 3) hit the road to visit my brother and his family. One of the things that made this trip so special was the fact that we got to stay on their houseboat. Boy, did we have fun! If you’ve ever been boating or anywhere that requires food in a cooler you know it is essential to make the food count. I am always looking for ways to make the food on the boat delicious, easy, and no cleanup. We are all trying to eat a bit healthier right now. So for this trip, I put my thinking cap on and came up with these Easy TO GO Salads. From salad, to container, to cooler, to trash. Nothing to carry home for cleanup. You are gonna want all the details!
I’m on my ever present venture to try and eat lean. When I make a lean meal that I love, it ends up in my regular dinner rotation. We all know that a regular dinner rotation can become a bit stale. Â When that happens, I like to reinvent those meals that I love so much to add a little variety. What’s the saying…variety is the spice of life!
I kid you not! Every time I ask my husband what he wants for dinner he always says Greek Steak pitas. I could probably get away with making this meal 3 or 4 times a week. If you love steak, you’ve got to give this one a try.
The skinny girl inside me is still here for this one! I’m still on my quest to eat lean! I’ve got an easy but delicious recipe to share with you! The hardest part of this meal was coming up with a fun way for it to be served. Picture it…a corn tortilla. What in the world dish do we all have that is the perfect size for a corn tortilla?

I was looking for a sweet treat in my quest to try and eat lean and thought I would make up some banana pudding. Seriously, there is no need for a recipe! I just went for a fun take on an old classic and a way to cut the calories. Plus this takes all of 5 mins to throw together.
I’m carrying on in my mission to try and eat lean. I wanted to toss out this Easy Peasy side dish that I mentioned in my Trying to Eat Lean-Easy Greek Grilled Chicken Pitas blog post. Continue reading
Trying to eat lean is no new concept to me. It’s definitely a battle of the wills. Sometimes that skinny girl stuck inside me comes knocking at my brain just begging for a chance. But most of the time, the chubby girl wins out in the end. In this particular case though, the skinny girl wants to come out and play. She might not stick around long but while she’s here I figure I better post what’s she’s cooking…Greek Grilled Chicken Pitas!
