Ultimate Recipe Swap: Lunches

Lunches

are the theme at Life as Mom today and here are just a few of the meals we enjoy at lunch:

Wraps~ We just take flour tortillas with shredded cheese and pepperoni (melted), ham/turkey and cheese, tuna/chicken/egg salad, or peanut butter and honey or jelly. I also stuff lots of lettuce, tomatoes and pickels in some of these. you could also make burritos or quesadillas

Sandwiches~ We pretty much do the same with these as the wraps. We also enjoy grilled cheese.

Soup~ Chicken noodle, Vegetable Beef, or Cheesy Potato are favorites.

Leftovers

Salads~ Cobb or Grilled Chicken are my favorites.

 Hot dogs or Mac and cheese are also quick and easy with kids

We also include sides like:

chips, fruit, or raw veges and dip

URS: Creamy Chicken Noodle

My speedy recipe this week is Creamy Chicken Noodle.

4 cups egg noodles, boiled and drained

2 cups chopped chicken breast

1 can cream of chicken soup

3-4 slices of American cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Cook your egg noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain then return to pan. Add chicken, soup, and cheese and heat on low till cheese is melted and everything is good and warm. You could also add some cooked peas and/or carrots to this dish but we prefer ours to the side. This is a quick and yummy dish that my family enjoys!!
