Mediterranean Hummus Bowls

Leave a comment

These humus bowls were a fun change up for lunch. They were also delicious cold which meant I didn’t need to wait in line for the microwaves and could eat right away! With the addition of hummus, these bowls have a lot of flavor and are great if you need to pull something together quickly for lunch!

Baja Mac n Cheese

1 Comment

This Baja Mac n Cheese is a duplicate of a Mac n Cheese that used to be available at Panera. Funny enough, I had never tried it but I was curious a few weeks ago and decided to try and make a version of it at home. This dish was super quick and easy to make. Great for an easy dinner, quick snack, or lunches for the week. Add some chicken to increase protein.
