This dip seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it item… I’m on team love. It’s super versatile, and as a Caesar girlie, I always find a use for it so it doesn’t go to waste - spread on bread, mixed with roasted Brussels, dip for veggies, dressing… Caesar salads are usually overpriced and rarely satisfying unless they’re made fresh. 👩‍🍳 This one? Under $3.50, done in 15 minutes, 33g protein, 21g fiber, under 350 calories—and it actually hits. You’ll need: • 4 oz ground chicken • 1 tortilla (I used 8-inch @Mission Foods low carb) • 2 cups kale • 2 Tbsp TJ’s Caesar dip • Salt, pepper, olive oil • Optional: lemon + parm To make: 1. Massage kale w/ salt + oil, toss w/ dip, chill. 2. Smash chicken into tortilla, cook meat-side down, flip + toast. 3. Top with salad, lemon, parm if you want. Done. #MealsForOne #TraderJoesFinds #CaesarSaladWrap #QuickLunch #chickencaesarwrap #caesarsaladdip #15minutemeals #EasyRecipe #kalecaesar #lowcarbrecipes #semihomemade #SoloCooking #BudgetFriendlyMeals

It’s too hot to cook and I’m not built for humidity, so here’s Day 1 of 5 no-cook meals I’m actually eating this week. Fresh Spring Rolls. Quick, cold, satisfying. Not fancy. Not perfect. Just good. What I used: • rice paper • tofu • carrots, cucumber, bell pepper • mint + cilantro • peanut sauce #TooHotToCook #NoCookMeals #SpringRollRecipe #EasyLunchIdeas #HealthySummerMeals #FridgeCleanout #glutenfree #QuickNoCookMeals #SoloCooking #BudgetFriendlyMeals #SummerRecipeIdeas #vegan

If I eat something 4 days in a row, you know it’s good — this Italian Grinder Salad hits that big Beach Sandwich craving for less than $4 a meal and doesn’t weigh you down like the real thing. Why you should make it: Everything goes right in the container including the dressing — so when mealtime hits, you’re just SHAKE, dump, EAT. I did crispy bread on the side for a couple, but it’s hearty enough solo if you’re feelin’ lower carb. 💰 Single Girl Tip: Grab around 1/4 lb each of deli meat & cheese (pepperoni, salami, provolone), sliced thin, plus chickpeas for extra protein + fiber. Stretched across 4 salads for under $4 each — and no random half-packs of meat going slimy in your fridge. 🤢 📝 Recipe options: Veggies: lettuce, onion, tomato, cucumber Pantry/jarred: pickles, olives, jalapeño, banana hots, roasted peppers — whatever you’ve got Protein & cheese: deli meats, cheese, chickpeas (1 can, drained & rinsed) Dressing -per serving (approx.): • 1 tbsp oil • 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar • 2 tsp mayo (optional) • 1 tsp mustard • Pinch Italian seasoning or oregano • Salt & pepper to taste • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes SAVE THIS ONE!
