Easy Gluten Free Chicken Salad Recipe

So … basically I’m feeling like an emotional wreck! Do you ever have days like that or am I alone?

I have to say its not my fault though. I’m on these pills to get me preggers and they basically trick my body into producing more estrogen. But still… its definitely sucks to feel like you’re not “in control” of your emotions.

I’m just feeling super irritable one minute and then the next I want to cry. Super normal right?!? {crying in the corner}

So all in all.. I’m a real buddle of joy. {sorry hubbie :)}

Anywho, this morning on the way to work I was crying in the car.

What you don’t cry on the way to work? Pppff .. weirdo!

A song came on and the lyrics just hit me to the core:

Got so much on your mind
Nothing’s really going right
Looking for a ray of hope
Whatever it is you may be going through
I know He’s not gonna let it get the best of you

You’re an overcomer
Stay in the fight ‘til the final round
You’re not going under
‘Cause God is holding you right now
You might be down for a moment
Feeling like it’s hopeless
That’s when He reminds You
That you’re an overcomer
You’re an overcomer

Everybody’s been down
Hit the bottom, hit the ground
Ooh, you’re not alone
Just take a breath, don’t forget
Hang on to His promises
He wants You to know
You’re an overcomer

With all the crazy stuff that has been going on this past year I know that He still holds me in the palm of his hand. Even though sometimes the world feels like its caving in on me, he still whispers to me “I’m here.”  Such HOPE instead of a feeling of despair.

Towards the end of the song I just found myself fist pumping in the car and believing…  I’M AN OVERCOMER! 🙂

Speaking of overcomer!

This Chicken Feta Walnut Grape Chopped Salad will definitely overcome any issues or dislike of “rabbit food” aka Salad that you might have.

My husband now claims that this is hands down his favorite salad recipe that I’ve made. Which is funny because the last salad I made thats what he said.  So either he has short term memory loss or… I am just that amazing of a cook and just keep out doing myself. bahaha… 🙂

But for real! This salad has everything you want in a salad. Vegetables, fruit, protein, dairy, nuts, and a tangy sweet vinaigrette. Basically .. its gonna rock your socks off and you need to go make it now!
