(just discovered I can cook dried beans in my crockpot..)

• 2 large romaine hearts, washed and chopped
• 1 cup pulled cooked chicken breast
• 1 (15.5 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
• 3/4 cup sweet corn (I grilled mine)
• 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 1/3 cup cilantro, washed and chopped
• 1 small avocado, diced
• 1/2 cup BBQ dressing, if desired
Instructions
1. In a large bowl add lettuce, top with all ingredients except for avocado and BBQ dressing. Toss salad gently.
2. Place into cold salad bowls. Garnish with diced avocado and drizzle with BBQ dressing if desired. Serve with low-fat corn tortilla strips.

Awww, Lucinda, so sorry about the sore throat. Sore throats are bad and esp'ly bad in the summer. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that you turn the corner and are more comfortable soon.

We're having breaded okra as an appetizer with hot sauce. I made them. I double-dipped them in semolina flour and then more egg and then cornmeal.

Then pasta and meatballs with traditional spaghetti sauce. The meatballs are different, though, as my own personal cooking genius made them and I practically went over the edge when I tasted the first one. He made his own tomato sauce, too, which I happen to love. A nice bottle of red.

After the pasta and meatballs, we're having....meatballs! LOL. With Dijon mustard.

For a green, spinach.

With Texas toast, raw veggies, watermelon and Maddie will have some ice cream later. I am making a mess of green beans and will probably have some fish of some sort.
