Halloweenie

October 19, 2010 by Julie 77 Comments

Clearly Halloween is right around the corner.

Last week I looked like a bumble bee, and today I look like the holiday itself.

Halloweenie Julie

I’ve had at least five people tell me I look very Halloweenie today.

I must admit that I felt like the epitome of Halloween when I got dressed this morning. If you wear orange and black in October you’re just asking for Halloween-related comments!

Lunch

Lunch today included leftovers from Sunday night’s dinner.

Though I didn’t blog about it, Ryan and I enjoyed rotisserie chicken and I used some of the leftover breast meat to create a BBQ chicken salad sandwich this afternoon.

BBQ Chicken Salad

To make the chicken salad, I combined:

  • 3 ounces pulled chicken
  • 1 tbsp. light Miracle Whip
  • 1 tbsp. BBQ sauce
  • 1 large handful broccoli slaw

I served the BBQ chicken salad on a Nature’s Own Whitewheat hot dog bun along with sliced green peppers.

Tuesday Lunch

The other day Ryan and I were debating about something oh-so-serious: Tuna salad vs. chicken salad.

I’m a tuna salad girl, all the way! Ryan is a chicken salad boy.

Now it’s back to work until I meet my mom for my FINAL DRESS FITTING tonight!

After the horror of my first fitting, I’m crossing my fingers that this one goes off without a hitch.

    I’m totally TEAM TUNA….minus mayo or anything like it!

    also…
    orange is my absolute FAVORITE but I’ve found that the only way to actually wear the darn color is in the form of a dress (jeans&orange=blue&orange gators and black&orange is unacceptable until October!). I think you’ll understand considering your post about colors the other day!

    Being a pescatarian, I have to go with Tuna! But I’ve been switching it up and trying some sardine salad lately, a la Kath!

    I am definitely a chicken salad person!!! I think there are more ways to jazz up chicken salad then there are tuna salad!
