    Loving the look of the Curried Chick Pea mix. No idea how you keep the mixture together in a block like that though? 🙂 I imagine if I made it, it’ll be smushed all over my bag when I get to lunch time.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 7:06 am

      If you refrigerate the chick pea mixture it will travel better. Hope you try it out! thanks

    I love this round up!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 1:27 pm

      Fantastic let me know if you try any of them. Have a great week ahead

    I’ve been in a rut with lunches so this is perfect! Now I just have to see what ingredients I can get when I go to the store this week since it seems hit or miss right now.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 1:29 pm

      It is kind of hit or miss! Let me know if you are able to give them a try

  4. Wendy says

    I’m always looking for lunch ideas–these all sound yummy! I haven’t had avocado egg salad in ages!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 1:29 pm

      I had a craving for the avocado egg salad and it’s on my agenda for this week too. Hope you enjoy!

    It’s only 6:30 and my mouth is watering! I need to try some of these, I’m so bored with my usual lunches!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 1:30 pm

      I was getting bored as well so I did a deep dive into my own blog lol. Let me know if you give any of them a try.

    I love beets but was just saying the other day how all the beet recipes have goat cheese in them and I do not like that. I looked up your white bean salad and I think I will try to make that one!
    How do you come up with all these recipes? Thanks for sharing! -M

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 4:04 pm

      Beets do go well w goat cheese 🙂 I hope you like the white bean salad it’s one of my go to’s. I don’t know I just see something that inspires me

  7. Kim G says

    04/20/2020 at 9:37 am

    Yum! I’ll need to see if I have what I need on hand to make the Caprese Pesto Quesadillas. If not, I’ll pick up those ingredients during my next grocery store run.

    I’m all about the quick, easy and healthy lunches during the week because I normally still eat lunch while working since I use my lunch breaks to leave the house for a walk.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 4:07 pm

      I can see how leaving for a walk at lunch is appealing! Hope you like some of these easy ideas thanks for checking them out

    These all look amazing! I’ve been on a chikpea “egg” salad kick lately, but haven’t thought to try an avocado version. Also, nothing beats quesadillas. Ever, haha.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 4:07 pm

      Great let me know if you like it!

  9. Chelsea says

    04/20/2020 at 10:08 am

    We FINALLY got a couple cans of chickpeas! I’ve been ordering them for 3 weeks since we’ve been out and I got 3 cans, maybe 2, all I know is I ordered 2 cans in both weekly orders and finally got some. The curried chick pea salad is going down!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      04/20/2020 at 4:18 pm

      They were out for a few weeks here too. I think everyone decided they had to start eating beans 🙂

  12. Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says

    04/20/2020 at 7:08 pm

    I can’t wait to try the white bean salad wrap, sounds delicious!

    • Deborah Brooks says

    Smashed chickpea summer sandwich! I have so many chickpeas in the cellar waiting to be processed. Now is a good time for it!

    • Deborah Brooks says
