Ever have trouble figuring out what to make for lunch? See how my sponsors at Dare Crackers have helped to inspire me to create some delicious lunch combos, as well as have given me the chance to win some fantastic prizes in their upcoming sweepstakes!
Over the past year, I have been on a path to eating healthier and cleaner. I have tried to cut out a lot of processed foods and eat only “all natural” products. For most meals, I have figured out what to cook to
accomplish this, however, I always have the most trouble figuring out what to eat for lunch. I want something light and low in calories, but little more appealing then a salad!
To help me enjoy lunch again I found “Dare Crackers” and I am in love! They are delicious whole-grain crackers that are low in calories and all natural. They always feel like I am enjoying a real treat, but they are totally in keeping with my healthy eating plan!
Recently, Chef Kayne Raymond, came up with ten gourmet ways to top Dare Crackers that look absolutely amazing! Any one of them would make for a stunning meal or appetizer for a fun lunch get-together with friends! A few that I am particularly excited to try are
1. Get your Greek On- feta cheese, tomato, and fresh tuna with a special dressing
2. VIETNAMEASY- a medley of chicken breast, fresh shredded veggies and dressing
3. CAESAR THE MOMENT- a yummy Caesar salad in cracker-sized portions
4. MORROCKIN’ IT- Filet mignon- with some special spices and a little homemade tahini yogurt
These recipes inspired me to jot down a few do my favorite ways to top my Dare crackers. They are not as gourmet as Chef Kayne Raymond’s toppings, but they are yummy and easy to pull together for a fun, healthy and delicious lunch at home or on the go!
5. A slice of mozzarella cheese topped with avocado
6. Egg salad and clover sprouts
7. Tuna fish sprinkled with lemon pepper
8. Hummus topped with a slice of red bell pepper
9. Low-fat cream cheese topped with half a slice of Turkey breast and a cucumber slice
10. Mozzarella cheese slice with a slice of pepperoni and half of a cherry tomato
11. Classic PB&J (my little girl’s favorite)
12. Vanilla non-fat Greek yogurt topped with a strawberry slice
13. Shredded chicken breast mixed with non-fat Greek yogurt, toasted almond slivers and raisins
14. Low-fat cream cheese mixed with shredded sharp cheddar cheese topped with a black olive slice
