Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps

Image
Looking for an easy, light lunch to make during the week! Look no further! These Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps are my favorite quick & healthy lunch! Made with canned chicken, olive oil mayo, grapes, cucumbers, carrots and romaine lettuce. These wraps are super low carb and totally delicious! Make it with me. Growing up (and even still today) I lived on Chicken Salad! It was my very favorite flavor of sandwich! I always took them in my sack lunch to school. I was raised on canned chicken, so I've never looked at it as weird. I know some people are timid when it comes to canned chicken but you shouldn't be!  It's a great, easy source of protein! I have to dedicate this recipe to my little cousin Oakley. She is 7 and she has so much personality. She catches on very quick and is very aware of the world around her. One day, I asked her what she wanted for lunch. She told me that she doesn't eat Carbs. I had to laugh because I'm sure she's heard ...

Top 8 Most Evil Humans

Image
The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines “evil” as “morally reprehensible: sinful, wicked; arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct, causing harm”. An evil person is one who is perceived by people as being cruel to others, showing aggression with a motive of inflicting harm or even killing another individual. Being evil is not genetic; it most often results from the individual’s interactions with his or her environment and the experiences that one has had during one’s lifetime. Tendency of being evil may have its roots in a disturbed childhood- evil acts then serve as a means to vent out the built-up frustration and subject others to the same, torturous conditions. Another cause may be a mental aberration or illness, developed during childhood or even adulthood, which leads the individual to exhibit psychopathic behavior and hence, kill and shed blood to satiate their impulses. Here are some of the most evil people known to have walked the Earth.. 8- Shirō...

We have many lists on the site relating to murder, killing and death in general. This list takes a slightly different angle from those in that it relates specifically to celebrities who have killed, or been accused of having killed. None of the entries here are celebrities because of their crimes; they are all people who committed (or were accused) after their celebrity was already established. 10- Snoop Dogg Rapper The rapper famous for his duet with D. Dre in ‘Ain’t Nothin but a G Thing.’ He was arrested and put on trial in connection with the death of Philip Woldemariam, a member of a rival gang who was shot and killed by Snoop’s bodyguard, McKinley Lee. Both Snoop and Lee were defended by Johnnie Cochran at the trial, and were both found not guilty on grounds of self-defense. He has since gone on to enjoy a lucrative career. 9- Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle Silent Film Actor A silent film actor who acted alongside the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Mabel...
