The kids are napping right now and I just finished editing a newborn session that I recently did. Isn't she absolutely precious? She was teeny tiny...like 5 lbs. I think I need another baby girl;)

We have been eating a lot of sandwiches lately and I want to share this recipe with you. It's by far my most favorite chicken salad sandwich recipe. Maybe because it's made with one of the best dressings you can buy. You should go check out Briannas Salad Dressing website for some good recipes. I haven't made anything from there that I didn't like.
*Served on King's Hawaiian Buns
Cha Cha Chicken Salad
4 chicken breasts, seasoned with Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning
1 1/2 cups red seedless grapes, sliced in half
1 1/2 cups celery, sliced thin
1 cup sliced walnuts, chopped medium (add before serving)
12 oz. BRIANNAS Rich Poppy Seed Dressing ( I only add enough to mix it well)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Grill seasoned chicken breast, cool and slice or cube. Mix cubed or sliced breasts with all other ingredients if serving immediately. Otherwise, add the pears and nuts when you are ready to serve. This will keep the pears from browning and walnuts from getting soggy. This is a fabulous salad for a light dinner or luncheon. Serve it on a leaf of red cabbage or leaf lettuce with a slice of fresh bakery bread on the side.
*Recipe from the Good Friends Great Tastes® cookbook by Debbie Meyer
Hope y'all are having a great day!
Two words for your summer budget: state parks.
Reply DeleteAnd about the chicken salad: oh mercy!! I love Brianna's poppy seed dressing as well. I could eat it on nearly anything, though its not ideal for the waistline!
Movie in the park sounds like a fun night!!
Reply DeleteWhat a precious little baby!!
And, oh my, that sandwich looks delish!
Swim, swim, swim! Also we love Arts in the Park Wednesday mornings in Austin. Visiting the local fire department or police station. Ask your local pizzeria for a behind the scenes tour so the kiddos can see all that goes into their lunch. That goes ditto for grocery stores or any other business you frequent. It's cool for the babies to see how their community operates. And nothing beats splashing in the kiddie pool and shooting each other with water guns in the back yard.
Reply DeleteI'm pretty sure you live in the DFW area--we've found some fun splash parks around for free or nominal fees--one in Roanoke, Haltom City & Colleyville. There's a big cat rescue in Boyd that I think is free. And we are lucky to have a neighborhood pool that's big-time entertainment!
Reply DeleteThanks y'all! We have been swimming outside in our little pool every chance we get.
Reply Delete@Courtneytcu98- We don't live in that area but have family there. We might take a trip to DFW this summer to hit up some of those attractions.
@Amy- What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
