I love me some chicken salad. I like to eat it out of the bowl. I like it on sandwich bread. I like it on croissants. I like it on hamburger buns. I like it in tortillas. And I like it sweet. While the plain mayo with some celery and salt and pepper is o-kay, my sweet tooth would rather there be some fruit mixed in, whether it's pineapple, grapes, or in this … [Read more...]

Sesame Chicken Stir-fry
SPLURGE ALERT!!! CONVENIENCE FOOD ALERT!!! (BTW I have loved hearing your do's and don't's when it comes to convenience foods!) It was one of those days. It started too early.

Chicken Gumbo with Iceberg Ranch Wedges

But no longer. Did a little research on Wiki...and learned quite a bit. Hop on over there and see how "gumbo savvy" you are! I digress. A simple soup. Err, gumbo! With a whole … [Read more...]

Chicken and Spaghetti Squash Medley
Ever had one of those moments when you open the fridge and look around...and decide to try a little experiment? That's what happened tonight. I had an easy Friday night meal of Waffles on the menu plan, BUT with the freezer crisis and having "breakfast for dinner" on Wednesday night, I opted for a little experiment instead of going with the plan. A little of this. A … [Read more...]
Chicken Nachos

And YUMMM-EEEEE!!! ...and I think there is just enough leftover that the Hubs and I don't have to fight over it … [Read more...]
