This California Chicken Wrap is an easy lunch or dinner idea! No need to heat up the kitchen! #coolsummer #wraps
I have to be honest with y’all … even food bloggers have days where they don’t feel like cooking dinner. Of course, we still have to feed our families. I have been known to resort to cereal for dinner or I’ll tell the kids that its a “fend for themselves kind of day” – basically they can have whatever they can find that’s easy and doesn’t make a huge mess! Those days are pretty rare, but they do happen sometimes.
It’s been over 100°F for days and days here in Phoenix …. and some days, the heat just takes it out of you. You don’t wanna do nothin’ – not even make dinner! I almost always have plenty of fresh veggies on hand to make a quick sandwich or wrap with whatever deli meats we have on hand. Here’s on of my family’s favorite meals (lunch or dinner!) when mama doesn’t feel like cookin’ …. Enjoy!!
