Hmm I can't find the link but this is fantastic:

-Package of baby spinach
-Package of pasta (I use GF)
-Feta cheese (I use Trader Joe's Mediterranean)
-Sun dried tomatoes
-Protein of choice (optional)
-Dressing: balsamic vinegar + oil

This one is SO good. I haven't had it in awhile now that I am GF + Low FODMAP. I could easily make some adjustments though.

All of these are sugar free (mostly), paleo/whole 30 type recipes, but really damn delicious.

We are obsessed with this one. I use gluten free bread crumbs and we use a raspberry chipotle dipping sauce (but honey mustard would be just as good!)

My super quick & easy faves, especially for spring & summer are salmon or chicken, both w/a salsa.

Salmon:season w/salt & pepper, add a drizzle of oil to a pan, and cook roughly 2-3 min (med-med high heat) on each side.
Salsa: segment an orange & a lime, dice the segments up, mix with diced jalapeno, cilantro, and red onion, splash of lime juice. Serve on top of salmon.

Chicken: season w/salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook in pan w/a little olive oil.
Salsa: Diced avocado, red onion, salt & pepper, lime juice. Serve on top of chicken.

We just made blackened chicken w/cilantro lime quinoa last week. Just make a mix of 1/4 tsp. each paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne/ onion powder, and cumin and rub it on the chicken breast. Cook in a pan (w/a bit of oil) for about 8 mins on each side.

Bring 1 cup quinoa to boil in 2 cups low sodium chicken stock. Once it's done, add 2 tbls of cilantro and about 1 tbls of lime.

If you want you can add a avocado cream sauce to it, which is just an avocado pureed with two tbls of greek yogurt.

It's an easy Pinterest recipe and took a grand total of about 20 minutes.

Yes, but they were probably not the most diet friendly.

These were yummy but I used red peppers instead of the Chicago style mix: iowagirleats.com/2013/10/23/crock-pot-italian-beef-sandwiches/

I also mostly just ate the meat plain, not on a bun.

These were also pretty good but I made modifications because we prefer a spicy sauce: www.bhg.com/recipe/beef/meatball-sandwiches/

I think I'm going to make some sort of roast in the crockpot this weekend, so if anyone has ideas I'll take them.

Ooh I thought of another super easy one. It has to be quick for me because once I get home from work my goal is to be as lazy as possible...

Take a couple tilapia fillets (about a pound), cook in a frying pan with 1 tbsp of oil. When the tilapia is pretty much done add a cup or two of salsa (depending on how much you love salsa) and 3 tbsps of lime juice. Mix it all together (the tilapia should flake quite easily) and cook until the salsa is warm. Serve on tortillas (or in a lettuce wrap if you want) and add some cabbage, cheese, avocado or whatever else you think would be good. I personally just add cheese, which I understand is a little odd, but I'm addicted to cheese.

Nothing to add really but saving this because there are some good ideas on here.
Anyone have any summery crock pot recipes? Everything I have is soups, stews, chili etc which I don't want right now but the crock pot is so easy for my long work days

I just made this on Sunday after seeing it on shutupandrun's blog. It came out so well -I will definitely make again.  Not exactly summer-ish, but tasty.  I will also link to a blog that recommended a way to make couscous that made it come out super fluffy.  

SlowCooker Veggie Chickpea Curry
Couscous

For summer one of our staples is grilled veggie packets- potatoes, bell peppers, onions, shrooms, any other veggies on hand with olive oil and herbs. Bam- roasted slightyl carmelized yumminess after about 20mins.

Lurker, but I'm responding anyway.

We had chicken gyros last night with homemade pita and Greek salad. One of our favorite meals! I use plain Greek yogurt and don't strain it. 

This wasn't made recently, but it's one of my favorite things to eat. Ever. Caribbean jerk salmon bowls!

I totally just bookmarked this tab! Y'all are amazing in the kitchen! I REALLY needed this healthy eating inspiration right now!

My all time fav crock pot recipe: 
Crock Pot Salsa Chicken



4 uncooked chicken breasts, cleaned

1 jar of your favorite salsa

1 can of mexicorn, drained

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

Juice of 1 lime

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon fajita seasoning

Whole wheat tortillas

Fresh chopped cilantro

Fat free sour cream

Shredded cheese



Place chicken breasts, salsa, mexicorn, beans, lime juice, cumin, and fajita seasoning in your crock pot. Mix ingredients up a little bit, making sure to cover chicken.



Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. Serve as is OR you can shred the chicken up, stir it into the veggies, and serve it with tortillas. -
