Healthy Lunch Recipes

Let's talk about lunch! Whether you're working from home or going to the office or school on weekdays, these lunch recipes are sure to power you and your family through the day. Make something packable in advance to take to work or school, such as pesto pasta salad or a sandwich piled high with chicken salad with grapes and pecans.

For summer days at home, I love enjoying these turkey wraps with avocado in the sunniest spot I can find in my backyard, or this peach blueberry salad with creamy goat cheese and balsamic. Or on cozy winter weekends, nothing beats homemade harissa tomato soup with Pepper Jack grilled cheese croutons.
