Lunch, the hardest meal of the day for me.  So, I decided I would compile a little list of recipes that are quick and easy, yet look tasty, that I can make for my own lunch.  To make them quick, I'll use leftover chicken, edamame and chicken sausage from protein.

Chicken Sausage and Veggie Noodles
Buffalo Chicken Salad
Crispy Chickpea Pita
Curried Chicken Salad with Apples and Raisins
Garden Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette (add chicken or edamame for protein)
Avocado Shell Salad
