This salad is as beautiful as it’s nutritious and delicious! Revised from the good old days of raisins and sunflower seeds to a main dish with chicken. But works as a side dish without the chicken if you prefer. Crunchy multi-flavor with a sweet-n-sour dressing. Perfect for the barbecue season ahead!
Enjoy!
Here’s another chicken recipe from my special friend. It may be an easy recipe but the flavors are many … And oh so delicious. Did you try her Tinolang Manok Recipe? Amazing!
Doesn’t this look fabulously delish! I wish I had some this very minute. A shy friend of mine made this for my mother. (See her food photo, next page. She advised me that noodles are really not part of this dish.) I say shy because she’d rather remain anonymous. And since she has yet another recipe for me, Filipino Adobo Style Chicken, I must respect her wishes.
Both recipes, the second coming up later today, are amazing and so healthy too.
This is a great dip to make when you’ve left over chicken. You can make it taste like Hot Wings or if you’re into Sriracha add this sweet tangy hot sauce instead. An easy Super Bowl appetizer that won’t have you running to the grocery store if you’re missing an ingredient … very forgiving and easy to substitute.
Rich and a little goes a long way!

I apologize. I wasn’t fast enough with the camera. We actually finished this off in one sitting … it was so good.
Mentioned to my daughter about my creation, this Simple Green Enchilada Casserole, with only five ingredients and she said, “Oh yeah, I have that recipe!” You do! I didn’t know it was one!
So, while my daughter was setting up the family room for a little celebration I put this together in about 10 minutes and baked it through in 40. Serve with a Taco Salad. Perfect!
Did I mention I never grow tired of Italian! Any Italian recipe with pasta is my friend, especially with a splash of wine … The wine either in the recipe or my glass … I’m not picky. (Not sure my kids would agree with the not picky.)
This recipe takes about 30 minutes start to finish and presents well for company. I always lean toward Pinot Noir but a glass of Chardonnay is a compliment as well … And Chianti Classico.
Enjoy!
Chicken Cordon Bleu on a bed of Mornay Sauce drizzled Broccoli. The prep time of this one dish meal and baking time are each about 30 minutes. The perfect dinner for family and friends. Serve with a side of rice or not. Enjoy!
Actually, it isn’t!
But this recipe is going to include chicken breasts. And, what I’ve done here. This is a 30 minute version of this hunter stew with little fuss.
Curious yet, about what I’ve used? Turkey! But not just turkey, lean ground Italian spiced turkey. I love turkey and sometimes find myself substituting it for chicken if I can. For me this works here but if you’re looking for something close to the actual dish … Not to worry.
