My challenge this week is to have meals that take under 30 minutes to prepare with minimal prep. With the holiday weekend and travel time, I will not have my usual Sunday prep-day to get much ready. Not a problem though. This week's menu is chuck full of vegetables and freshness. After last week's Mediterranean post, I am still craving the flavors and colors of Greece. I am substituting pasta noodles with spaghetti squash and adding the Greek flavors. Wednesday and Thursday, I am flying solo for dinner, so I am making something I love; tarragon chicken salad. I take left-over chicken breast, mix it with a little fat-free sour cream, light mayo, Dijon mustard, tarragon, celery, apples, cranberries, and grapes. Finally for the weekend, we will wind down with an elegant steak dinner. The menu and list can be found below:
