This is a quick and easy lunch or dinner. All you need is some frozen shrimp, bell peppers, onions, tortillas, and taco seasoning. I used homemade taco seasoning on mine.
I topped mine with sour cream and some cheese. So yummy!

I’ve been going to a dietician for the past 6 months because I was having health issues. Even though my weight is stable, I’m losing fat percentage which is good. Yeah for progress!
When I met with her yesterday, she asked me what I needed help with and I told her shelf-stable lunch ideas so that I can keep those in my classroom. My life changed once again where I’m leaving for work 15 minutes earlier than normal. On days I’m running behind, I won’t have to worry about packing a lunch because I know I’ll have something already at work.
Here’s the formula for lunch:
Protein/ Healthy Fat + Carb/ Fruit + Veggies
Protein Sources:
Healthy Fats
Carbs
She also suggested I keep shelf-stable fruit and veggies in my classroom. Ideas are apples, oranges, mini peppers, and carrots.
If I have the basics in my room, I can just grab supplemental items in the morning. It makes it easier for me to get going in the morning.
Here are some of the basics I can grab in the morning.
Here is a previous post about lunch ideas.

I love chicken wings. If you were to ask me what my comfort food is currently, I would tell you chicken wings without a doubt. Getting them at a restaurant is often expensive, so it’s more economical to make them at home coated with your favorite seasoning and covered with your favorite barbecue sauce.
My favorite seasoning is from a local shop. Rosebuds is located at the 2nd Street Market, a local farmer’s market/ artisan shop. My seasoning is the Campfire Rub which reminds me of cooking over an actual campfire. Yum!
I just get a bottle of honey barbecue sauce from Aldi. Youngest and I just like a basic barbecue sauce. I also like a Carolina type of barbecue sauce.
I’m not good at explaining how to cut up the chicken wings. I know I’m not the best at it. So I did what I do best, I googled how to cut up the chicken wings properly. Click here for the directions and then return to my blog for the recipe.
Salad (greens, veggie or fruit, topping) with a dressing
Cooked frozen or canned veggies
Chips, French fries, or Tater Tots – Our favorite is the seasoned Tater Tots from Alexa foods.
Celery or carrots with ranch or bleu cheese – Classic choice

I left this blog back in November. It had been a month and a half after my mom passed away. Since then, we’ve had quarantine and my mom’s estate is out of probate. Yeah!
Right before the quarantine, Hubby and I had decided to get new appliances. That was put on pause until stores were allowed to deliver the appliances. (No way we could have done it ourselves.)

If I don’t prep my lunches, then I don’t eat well. My body is not nourished because I’m not eating anything that is good for me.

I’ve had this recipe in my files but haven’t shared it with you. If you make the crockpot chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken, you can use the leftover chicken to make this delicious chicken salad.
When I made this chicken salad, I shared some with my mother-in-law. She also loved this chicken salad. She especially loved the addition of the dried cherries.
It’s good on a bun or eaten with crackers. It would also be good just to eat with a fork.
