Since my mom was planning to be at our house around 9 a.m., after publishing my morning blog post, I headed into the kitchen to pack a lunch to bring with me in a cooler since my mom and I were planning to drive through lunchtime.
I packed chicken salad, a cup of strawberry banana Greek yogurt and an apple the size of my face into the cooler. I also packed a baggie of blue corn chips for dipping into the chicken salad.
I made my chicken salad by combining the following:
- 1 large chicken breast, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Smart Balance Omega Plus Light Mayonnaise Dressing (The company sent me this to try and I hate mayonnaise, but really like it! It reminds me of Miracle Whip which I actually do like!)
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 2 tablespoons relish
Easy!
It reminded me a lot of my BBQ chicken salad or curried chicken salad, but with less ingredients. Not too shabby for lunch out of a cooler!
And now for a nutty giveaway…
Nuts.com Giveaway
A few weeks ago, I received an email from an account executive with Nuts.com.
Knowing that I’m a peanut butter and nut-lover, he reached out to me asking if I would like to sample some of their nuts.
Of course!
I selected a pound of butter toffee pecans and have enjoyed snacking on them daily.
Pecans are my all-time favorite nut and the butter toffee flavor adds the perfect punch of sweetness.
I’ve loved eating them by the handful or stirring them into Greek yogurt, oatmeal or even pancake batter!
And now you have a chance to win a pound of Nuts.com butter toffee pecans.
To enter this giveaway, please comment below, telling me your favorite way to enjoy nuts.
(Keep it PG, please. 
)
I will randomly select a winner tomorrow.
Good luck!

I like eating raw almonds mixed with mini chocolate chips and dried cherries. Yum!
I enjoy adding them to my greek yogurt with honey!
I like to enjoy nuts in an ice-cream sundae!
I like to eat them with fruit – typically apples… Or make them into nut butters of course – nut butter fingers! 😉
in my cereal or just by the handful for a snack!
With dried cranberries in plain greek yogurt!
Cashews on my salad! Yum!!
I always have a baggie of almonds in my purse. I snack on them whenever I need something to tide me over to my next meal.
I love making candied pecans and putting them in a salad with fresh bacon bits, onion, sliced pears, and homemade dijon dressing. Yum!
I like lightly salted nuts on salads!
I like almonds in my morning oatmeal!
“keep it PG” LOL
i have to agree with the ice cream sundae idea –
but also in brownies/cookies and pretty much everything else!
I love nuts on top of my oatmeal, yum!
Straight out of the bag!!
Love cashews and pecans..straight up or candied.
I think my favourite way to eat nuts is by the (small) handful! I like the flavour to just shine on their own. But I also love adding them to oatmeal for some crunch.
Covered in dark chocolate!
I love them in greek yogurt or oatmeal. But normally I just enjoy them bu the handful
Covered in Chocolate, in yogurt, in cereal, in oatmeal, with some fruit or cheese. I love them with everything!
I absolutely love salty nuts paired with sweet things, like apples, chocolate, grapes.. I bet I get most of my daily caloric intake from almonds. Once I pop, I just can’t stop!!
nuts are lovely all by themselves but i’m a cookie fiend so i’ll say in an otherwise soft cookie
Spiced nuts are my favorite Christmas time snack!! I’ll eat nuts salted, raw, in trail mix, by the handful, as butter… you name it! And pecans are my favorite too!
I love chocolate covered, or honey roasted…even plain! Pretty much all 🙂
Love them as a quick snack
I love all nuts as a snack! So quick and easy
as peanut butter, obviously!!
My favorite way to enjoy nuts is nut butter! I would totally turn those nuts into a nut nutter and top my oatmeal with it and put it in my smoothies! 🙂 I also love just to snack on honey roasted nuts. Soooo good.
I like nuts in oatmeal!
I giggled my way quite inappropriately through the comments. I cannot trust myself to write anything else than what I wrote above!
I love me some nuts on my oatmeal.
My favorite way to enjoy nuts is about a simple as pop them in my mouth and chew! I looove pecans (but pretty much any and all types of nuts) especially on salads!
Straight up! By the handful mmmmmmm:)
I really love them any which way. Most fun when eating them with my kids 🙂
So many opportunities for TWSS jokes…
but I like my nuts – almond preferably, roasted with seasonings, and ground up into a smooth almond butter, on top of some oatmeal or toast. Yum!
i love ’em straight up or on almost anything…. salads, soups, ice cream, granola, yogurt, veggies…….. i could go on…..
I love any type of nut!!!!!!!!
I just like to eat them by themselves and by the handful!
I love super salty peanuts that come in their shell…especially when camping!
Keep it PG – ha ha that’s funny.
I just love plain ol’ almonds!
I love eating almonds plain and in oatmeal or yougurt, peanuts plain or with an apple, and I love walnuts or pecans in my oatmeal (or by themselves) butter toffee pecans sound amazing! 🙂
I love nuts in my Greek yogurt and in a homemade trail mix with all kinds of other yummy treats 🙂
I love nuts over fresh California strawberries and some chocolate shavings!
Nut Butter!!! It is the best way to enjoy some nuts…twss
Chocolate covered, chopped up in granola, or just plain for a mid-day snack!

I love nuts in salads! My favorite new salad is spinach, apples, almonds, raisins, and PB2 ( as the dressing) Yum!
Honestly, I love eating just plain almonds as a snack. So tasty. I don’t need anything super fancy (though I certainly won’t pass it up if offered!)
I like them straight out of the jar! Trying to keep some self-control is so hard!
on my oatmeal! yumm
I love me some nuts! Every night post dinner I mix cashews, pistachios and almonds, lil salt=yummo!
