Back to school? Again? Whether you're going back to school or getting used to what I like to call "life after Summer" these three salads will help you get out of the funk and get excited again. I think it's really important to focus each day on the positive things in life. So why not start with food? When I was in school the only thing I looked forward to (besides leaving school at the end of the day lol) was LUNCH! So why not pack yourself an amazing salad to look forward to? Here are my and Jasons top 3 lunch salads that I will be making A LOT come Monday because I am starting low carb again! I had my baby in March and now I am ready to jump back in so make sure you stay tuned to my YouTube Channel and this blog for updates, meal plans, recipes, and much more!
