Burning Question of the Day: What's your favorite meal for spring? I'm tired of the heavy winter dishes, and would love some ideas for light and fresh spring dishes--preferably seafood free!
grilled chicken on salad... poppy seed dressing and strawberries caesar with croutons and bacon. black beans, salsa mixed with sour cream for the dressing... yumm with pasta salad. - now I am starving.
One of my go-to dishes - whole wheat pasta tossed with olive oil, diced tomatos, chopped up asparagus and shrimp [I know you said no seafood..so maybe do chicken?]. Topped with parmesean cheese. Super easy, super yummy!
Another hit around here is mixed greens with chicken, black beans, canned corn [one of the "spiced" up varieties], tomatos and avocado, topped with a salsa/light sour cream dressing. Yum!
We've been grilling a lot lately. I love to make kabobs with chicken or steak and tons of veggies. I always make extras because they can be great snacks or can easily be made into a salad.
chicken salad on croissants! quick, nice and cool, and you can make a large batch and freeze it to use on salads, sandwiches, or crackers as a quick protein snack! :)

We've been eating off a ham and swiss quiche, served with fruit. Yummy, light, and easy!
