Greek Chicken Wraps

College cooking must be simple and quick. And, there is no better ingredient than store-bought roasted chicken to lighten your load. Especially on the weekends I don't want to spend all of my free time in the kitchen, but I also do not want to spend money eating out for cheap food. 

Fast food will run you easily $7-12 / meal with drink and sides for which you could buy a rotisserie chicken to provide several meals. All you need is a few additional ingredients to turn roasted chicken into awesomeness.

Today's recipe features doing exactly that! Other recipes utilizing store-bought roasted chicken include Simple Chicken Enchiladas, Avgolemono Soup. Chicken Tortilla Soup, and soon to be posted Buffalo Chicken Dip--just in time for March Madness and the Final Four!

Veggie Power Wrap

Recent travel to Traverse City, Michigan and Fishtown, Michigan led to copying the fantastic Dill-Havarti-Veggie Wrap I tried from The Cheese Shanty Sandwich Shack...plus, our son, as weird as this sounds (and for whom this blog was written), loves salads.  Kinda odd, I know, but true.

This is a perfect way to grab a bunch of veggies and go! Sorry meat lovers, but if you've got to get your meat fix...quit whining...just add a few slices of turkey, ham, or whatever.

Top it off with a Sirachi-mayo and simple vinaigrette.
Filling, delicious, cheap, easy, convenient.
