What about a chopped salad or pasta salad?

I like broccoli salad for something tasty and somewhat healthy. But with her being in the hospital, maybe something like a baked spaghetti or veggie lasagna?

@locavore_mama: if you're looking for a heartier easy lunch idea here is my FAVORITE chicken salad recipe. I just use the chicken breasts off of a rotisserie chicken and it's more than enough. It's so freakin good. We have it all the time bc it's protein packed. Eat with some good bread or crackers or a pita

Easy Chicken Salad

2 chicken breasts shredded
1 cup craisins (or use fresh grapes halved)
1 cup cut celery
1 cup chopped cashews
1 cup Mayo
1 Tbsp. sugar

@locavore_mama: I don't know if this is too high sodium but I love this super easy taco soup from weight watchers. Just but low sodium canned beans, corn, etc

1 lb cooked, drained lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 medium onion -chopped
1 can pinto beans
1 can chili hot beans
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes
1 can whole kernel yellow corn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 pkg ranch dry dressing mix
1 pkg taco seasoning mix

Brown beef/turkey along with onions. Drain off any excess oil. Add the ranch and taco seasoning packets. You can add all the cans with liquid or if you opt to drain off the liquid add 4-6 cups of chicken or beef stock. Simmer all together for 30 minutes.
