Lighter Food Menu Plan #9

High temps and hot weather has brought out our Lighter Food Menu Plan with simple meals, lots of salads and favorite sandwiches.

Here in the deep south, we have ‘feels like’ temps based on the humidity. We’ve already reached triple digits in our ‘feels like’ temps and it’s early June! Just like we look forward to soups in the fall, we are glad to break out the salads and sandwiches in the summer.

Chicken & Veggie Pasta Salad

If you’ve been following my menu’s, you know how much I love the Cook Once Eat Twice idea. I’ll prepare enough chicken on Sunday for our sandwiches on Monday. You can easily buy a Rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.

Pecan Honey Mustard Rotisserie Chicken Salad

We’ll be enjoying sandwiches with ours but you could also serve it on a bed of lettuce.

Broccoli Bacon & Raisin Salad

This salad makes frequent appearances on our summer menu because we  L-O-V-E it!

Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwiches and Summer are first cousins! 

We want to see YOUR BLT sandwiches! Tag us on Instagram with your BLT photos!
