4 Healthy Lunches To Satisfy Your Summertime Appetite
Healthy Dining Finder

It is a hot summer day and you have NO CLUE what you're having for lunch! Something heavy will make you pretty sick, while just an orange or apple may not be enough. Below, you will find a list of five summertime lunches that are healthy and a medium fare!

1. Caprese Salad

Thinly sliced fresh mozzarella, sliced tomatoes, and balsamic dressing drizzled on top makes for a filling, yet healthier lunch. This lunch is not too heavy, and it is served chilled! (My personal favorite!)

2. Strawberry Balsamic Spinach Salad

The name of this option is pretty self-explanatory! For this one, you only need some nice, fresh spinach leaves, fresh sliced strawberries, and a little bit of balsamic vinaigrette. Portion it out, appropriately, and mix the ingredients together.

3. Turkey Lettuce Wrap

Take some time to go to your local grocery store and purchase low sodium deli turkey (Hillshire Farm is my favorite) for this option! Lettuce off of a head of lettuce is used in place of a tortilla wrap, while the turkey, tomato, and any other toppings of your choice are included inside. This is a nice on-the-go snack for warm, sunny days!

4. Bagel Sandwich and Fruit Salad

This lunch option is quick and easy! You'll need a whole wheat bagel, low-sodium deli meat of your choice, and any toppings you would like to include. For this lunch, it is better to only eat a half of the bagel with your sandwich, in order to enjoy the fresh fruit salad (cut up fruit of your choice).

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
