NEW simple LUNCH recipes for you!

[@courtneylong4926]

That chicken "pasta" salad would be so good on a carb smart spinach wrap if you need to drop the bread! Or wrap it in Romaine lettuce for a lettuce wrap! I'm making this this week!

[@aprildawn8692]

What a great idea, Courtney! I'm fixin' to make this also 🙂

[@lauraspicks7114]

Courtney that sounds so-o-o good,thanks for the tip !

[@debbiealtman5373]

Yummy

[@rachelhero3413]

I was thinking Lettuce boats! I can’t have wheat/rice/corn so almond flour wraps or lettuce wraps for me!! Yummmm this will definitely be in my summer rotation!

[@mammafawn]

What about a cheese wrap, or Egg wrap? 🤔

[@bonniepwtf]

Gracie put the "spec" in special & spectator!! Love that girl 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟

[@lisadoherty5771]

Your Gracie looks just like my baby girl. We just had to help her cross the 🌈bridge last week. I now look for Gracie ❤️💖

[@pambrown5401]

Yes, please give her a little more chicken❤️

Recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but that amazing Greek salad is something I can have. The egg salad too, only with Turkey bacon. Thanks so much for these. I'm sure I brought this up before, but Dukes mayo does not have sugar!!!!

[@tammybabcock4802]

Thank you for telling us that Duke's mayo has no sugar because I'm a diabetic also

[@katherinecooper3486]

Butter is my "don't run out of it" item. Gotta have it. ❤

[@jesuslivesforevevr]

Cottage cheese? Yes please! So good!!

[@kathyforgues6994]

Thanks for some great lunch idea’s! I needed some ideas to make for my husband’s lunch. I’m trying to get him off lunch meat sandwiches every day.

[@Bribear1977]

I like to eat mine with mashed potatoes. Sounds bizarre but it really is good!!

[@paulachristopher9451]

I make this but instead use Pillsbury croissants but use the raw dough, not the "triangles". Use 2 together, add swiss, ham, honey mustard and top with another 2, closing the 4 sides. Brush the top with melted butter and bake. Yummy!

[@sandybowman7140]

Mandy, Mandy, Mandy - I love this episode! I can't wait to try the unique Chicken Salad - and yes, I LOVE cottage cheese! The technique used in the Egg Salad is so cool & yes, I guessed bacon. I keep the thin fast cooking kind in my frig all Summer. I think the thing I'm always overstocked on is Mustards - typically have 6 on hand at all times. If u haven't asked, Chick-fil-A sells small bottles of the divine Honey Mustard for $3.99/ea. If u haven't tried the Mucky Duck brand mustard, u haven't lived fully yet - it's pricey when u can find it & I think from UK. I love the Spectator name & ur sweet kitty Gracie too. Thanks so much for the balanced, practical, inexpensive lunches! U are such a great Chef! ❤

[@hippietoherbie]

The original recipe for a Mucky Duck mustard may have come from England, but the Mucky Duck mustard started out being sold at my local Farmer's Market in Pontiac, Michigan. They sold it out of an ancient refrigerator. This was probably in the late 1970's. I fell in love with it immediately and always had some in my kitchen. It has become extremely hard to find after the original makers sold the company to a larger outfit. Once in a while I'll still see it in a 'Made in MI' store. I got many people hooked on it and am so sad I can't buy it locally anymore.

[@sandybowman7140]

@@hippietoherbie SO AWESOME to know! Thanks for that history, & I'll look next time I go to the East Side of Michigan + maybe The Produce Station in Ann Arbor will have it!?

[@hellobethel7464]

Jalapeno relish on egg salad is something I would have never thought of but I NEED Genius

[@MandyintheMaking]

It was amazing

[@christinamiller9988]

The combination of cottage cheese and feta cheese sounds amazing! I am definitely gonna try this one.

[@kittyrichards9915]

For crumbled bacon, I dice it with kitchen scissors. cook and drsin. No messy crumbling.

[@pinkautumnraine1718]

Steven just cracks me up 😂😂😂. Love these lunch ideas. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@susanmolnar9606]

I don’t eat egg salad but I always have a spare jar of Hellman’s. Can’t live without. 🤗

[@buxbaumnina7072]

Open-faced sandwich are also called smorrebrod. LOVE your show, especially your personalities, you make me smile every time I watch. Thank you! Also, as an extra, my cat is 19 1/2 and has cataracts this past year. Yours is a doll.

[@tsmith6250]

Chicken salad for the win! I usually cube chicken as I don't care for shredded chicken but that fine shred looks perfect.

[@annielumm7370]

It's becoming that time of the year we love sandwiches and or the crockpot! So hot around here already! These all are hitting my grocery list asap!!!

[@barbaram5787]

Yes, so hot already. I'm in the mountains of Pennsylvania and we have already had 2 days in the 80*s. To to hot this early.

[@beckym4503]

[@cherylphilipsz3835]

Stephen's face when you served up the croissants 😂😂😂

[@carolynpennock7061]

She's your taste tester lol. Yeah my cat Tigger was waiting for my lunch sample too. I made chicken chili. 😋

[@joy7590]

Love Steve’s expressions and he is so supportive! God bless you both, Mandy.

[@WNCBlueRidgeBlondie1]

Oh my gosh, I can't wait to try the ham croissants.

[@imperfectpairing2000]

I add sweet pickle relish into my egg salad and onion salt. The onion salt just adds a nice layer of flavor. I would definitely try the jalapeños relish to replace the pickle relish.

[@brendajackson294]

Love the lunch ideas. I am always looking to something different. The bread looks wonderful. Steven having a religious experience eating the egg salad LOL. Great video.

[@tutuluvsminnie7129]

what things can i not live without and always have on hand? Siracha, General tsao sauce, dill pickles, Dukes, plain greek yogurt, butter, soy sauce. I do keep a large amount of condiments on hand. For my husband, it is a can of yellowfin tuna and English Muffins. We got our first Wildgrain box today and already enjoyed the Croissants!!

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yay! Those croissants are AMAZING ♥️

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Perfect timing, I was just looking for new lunch recipes that won't heat up the kitchen. It's already hot and muggy here in Southwest Tennessee.

[@marymasiakowski5042]

We're having the same weather here. It's like July instead of May up here in Wisconsin. Add the horrible thunderstorms. Yesterday, the power went off several times for about 2 hours with all 3 storms that came through. More tomorrow.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@marymasiakowski5042 yeah, our power was out for 30 minutes or so. I always worry when ours goes out. My hubby is on oxygen 24-7 due to Covid damaging his lungs.

[@denevaflath1397]

I always stock up on my favorite pasta and pasta sauce with all the add-ins.

[@kristypursley107]

I am hooked on cottage cheese right now! This looks absolutely delicious!

[@donnapotter2105]

Dukes for the win! I am never with out a back up jar!

[@nancycarney]

I always have mayo, mustard, dijon, german whole grain mustard and dill relish.

[@susan_elizabeth]

The chicken salad on a 1-carb wrap is happening today for lunch! Thank you so much, Mandy, for these delicious ideas! 💜

[@karenminckler4198]

Love the look on your husband’s face. It’s priceless

[@marymasiakowski5042]

I'm definitely trying these recipes. I use spicy brown German mustard in my egg salad. Well, to be honest, I use it in many things. My staples are Hellmann's mayonnaise and the spicy brown mustard. I've just started making sourdough bread. I'm going on the hunt for the jalapeño relish 🤩

[@MandyintheMaking]

Yum! Someone else just told me I should try English mustard. Maybe I need to try German, too!

[@marymasiakowski5042]

@@MandyintheMaking it is spicy. We love it.

[@jillanderson7048]

Colman's dry English Mustard that you mix with water is REALLY Spicy

[@pinkpeony2315]

Maryland checking in to say you haven’t lived until you add Old Bay to egg salad (and deviled eggs too)!

I received my Wildgrains box, and was impressed with the packaging! A LOT of dry ice and a frozen pack. The food all looks great, well packaged. I ordered a mix of breads, pasta and waffles, and I'll be baking one of the breads tonight.

[@maryjanekereliuk719]

Your husband reminds me of my boyfriend Chris. The reason I say this is because my boyfriend gets just as excited as Steven does when I make something simple as my egg salad too. Love ❤ you guys!

Yum yum and omgoodness yum!!!

[@janetdwyer1867]

That first recipe I can’t wait to try.they all look delicious ❤

[@marymitchell8717]

I always overstock tortillas and enchilada sauce, bc my husband LOVES mexican food and I can use up any leftover meat that I cooked earlier in the week and all the half bags of cheese sitting in the drawer in the fridge!

[@gingergirl8797]

My "too much" item(s) are pasta and cheese. These sound like good summer dinners to me. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them all.

[@sheilab6126]

Will definitely be making these recipes ... I love cottage cheese too. My pantry always has extra Blue Plate mayo, I grew up in Georgia and my Mom made sure to have plenty on hand... I also have plenty of French's mustard and Hunt's ketchup. Thank you for sharing these recipes.

[@vickiethompson9245]

Yes!! I grew up in Georgia on Blue Plate. Moved to Tennessee & had to import it for years. Finally, we got it here in the last few years. I've never even tasted Duke's, but I'm thinking I should give it a try, as it is a staple for most of the cooks I watch on KZbin.

[@lillipad1313]

I usually add diced pickles or relish to my egg salad and deviled eggs. I will definitely be making the no pasta chicken salad over the summer.

[@donnamullins2089]

Yum I think the chicken salad would make great lettuce wraps. But there is nothing better than warm sour dough bread. Egg salad another favorite. And the hits just keep on coming. Thanks Mandy.

[@KathleenMansfield-f7r]

Delicious. We love the Wild Grain products. We never would have tried them without your endorsement. Keep ‘em coming!!

[@brooklynnrose]

yumm and I bet that honey mustard spread on the bread when you put them back in the oven to melt everything would be really good too of even brush it on when they come out hot. yumm

[@lalousiane7118]

Blue Plate Mayonnaise is a must have in my house. I don't do jalapenos at all, but I always put sweet pickle juice in my egg salad or potato salad, rarely the relish just the juice. 👩‍🦳😁💜

[@jamesgreene9079]

God bless y'all the Chicken salad looks great I also would put in some celery and a dollop of Duke's just saying 😎.. and one of Aldi's where I shop at sells the same kind of sourdough bread also God bless y'all keep doing what y'all do just saying 😎..

[@se5442]

Well Miss Mandy I wanted to come back after watching this video and thank you for it. My DH and I are seniors, and I make lunch as our main meal each day. And I get so stuck in a rut. So your recipes gave us a fresh, delicious lunch. And it was doable because the ingredients were not something I don't buy. Now my DH is not so agreeable as yours seems to be. The first thing he said is, "I don't like croissants". But I made the sandwiches anyway (I added in some of your "no pasta, pasta salad" I had made). I only made us 1 each, telling him I would make him a 2nd one using sliced bread. But when I asked if that's what he wanted, he said use the croissant 🤛👏😋. He said, "okay - it was good!" What you said at the end about it being restaurant quality at home is exactly right! And the restaurant would have charged big for it!! I don't know how you get all your ideas - but I'm your new subscriber! 🥰

[@OptimisticCoyote-jz3hn]

That's so funny " dabble" lol ! My hubby makes up words too. He would say " I'm gonna trickle it up with dome relish". Love u guys God Bless❤❤

Wow, thank you!

[@michellehorning2216]

Going to be lots of happy dancing in our house when I make these three lunches! That chicken salad looked so bright and colourful! Mmmmm! I loved the different approach to egg salad and honey mustard is one of my favourite dressings and having a homemade one will be over the top, as we see with Steven's reaction! I love our little Spec-tater, Gracie Lou---so good to see you, precious girl! Mandy, you are amazing--thank you for these great lunch recipes! Have a wonderful week!❤😊

I had a lot of ham leftover from a holiday and something very similar to your ham and cheese croissant but wouldn’t bake them so wrapped them in aluminum foil put in freezer and when i wanted them I would thaw them overnight and bake them the next day in the the aluminum foil.

Have a great day Mandy and Steven! 💕

[@mindypweightloss]

I LOVE cottage cheese... if you aren't a fan of cottage cheese because of the texture, try blending it up until it's smooth... it's a fantastic sub for mayo in egg salad or any savory dish. I also make a dessert with cottage cheese, sugar-free strawberry jello, and cool whip. I top it with fresh strawberries and pistachios and it's AMAZING!!
