Back to school is here! I know you all know that feeling. Even though it’s been five years since I went back to school (how did it take so long?!) it’s early September and I’m still excited and nervous.

I may or may not have a back-to-school shopping spree for myself. What to wear on the first day? Haha, we all know I wear Lulus every day.

But for those of you who are going back to school this year, the blogging ladies have you covered with 5 healthy back-to-school recipes. We’re also helping you get a healthy start in the new year with an unreal prize pack from Udi’s Gluten Free!

I took on the task of making a simple, healthy, kid-friendly lunch because lunch is by far my hardest meal to eat. Even though I usually eat lunch at home, I rarely take the time to put something together and then sit down to eat it. This Buffalo Chicken Salad is the easiest recipe ever and it tastes amazing! One day I served it on Udy’s Gluten Free Ancient Grain Bread, and another day I served it on a celery stick to go with my veggies and some ancient grain chips. It was perfect and actually allowed us to sit down and have a decent lunch. Haza!

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Salad

Let’s talk about this sandwich, or the Buffalo Chicken Salad, if you will! We’ve discussed before how I’m a diva when it comes to lunch. I’ll spend hours eating breakfast or dinner, but lunch has to be the most convenient meal, otherwise it’s just popcorn, avocado, and eggs (I wish I were kidding).

If you already have some leftover chicken on hand, this recipe takes less than 5 minutes to make. It can also be customized to suit your spice level.

In a rare incident, I went short on spice (you’re welcome), but if you like spicy like I do, feel free to go heavy. It turns out that Frank’s Red Hot is Paleo and actually quite pedigree in terms of its ingredients. But that didn’t stop me from using it.

I think the greatest debate in life is Franks vs. Sriracha vs. Cholula. Almost as challenging as choosing your favorite recipe in this post. Good luck…
