Lunch date & Dinner date

I wanted to bring lunch over to enjoy with my good friend that has a brand new baby.   So naturally I thought  Portillos chopped salad.... since that is not an option in Minneapolis yet I decided to make my own.  I even did the lemon poppy seed muffins just like they do.   As previously stated I HATE chopping so I figured I would make a two big portions and serve it to Pete for dinner.  It was quite perfect  I made both lunch and dinner at one and was done for the day with one clean up session!  I was even able to customize both salads to make one strict Paleo for Pete.
I had a great lunch with my friend and her PERFECT little angel and then a lovely dinner with Pedro.   Not a bad Thursday!
