I am so excited about this new cookbook! I love having all of these recipes at my fingertips. I've tried several but my goal this week is to try a new one each day.

Check out the FIXATE FAQ here with Autumn: http://autumncalabrese.com/blogs/fixate-faq-2

These are on my list to try...
 
Creamy Chicken Salad
Quinoa and black bean salad  
Tuna Salad  
Mushroom and goat cheese omelet  
Vegetable egg cups
Mexican Taco lettuce cups  
Italian Meatballs with Grandma'sTomato Sauce  
Macaroni and cheese with broccoli and chicken .... It all looks so good!

The first recipe that I tried was Creamy Chicken Salad, with a honey mustard dressing. It was so good. I love chicken salad,and by incorporating greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise it was a much healthier option.
RECIPE:
Creamy Chicken Salad
3 cups chopped rotisserie chicken breast, boneless, skinless
1/2 cup chopped green apple
1/2 cup seedless red grapes, cut in half
1/3 cup raw almonds
