Parmesan Chicken Salad

Another creation I came up with yesterday to take to a church BBQ!  I had a rotisserie chicken in the fridge, so I used the meat and came up with this super yummy chicken salad!  I didn't measure anything, so I'll make my best guess on the amounts!

Enjoy!

PARMESAN CHICKEN SALAD

3 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup red grapes, halved

1)  Mix the chicken, mayo and mustard until well combined.

2)  Stir in the almonds and parmesan.

3)  Fold in the grapes.

4)  Serve plain, on crackers, bread or lettuce wraps.

NOTES:

~As I said, I guessed on the amounts I used.  When I make it again, I'll measure and change the amounts if necessary, but this is my best guess.

Easy Peasy Strawberry Cheesy

So yesterday we had a church BBQ to attend and I was supposed to bring a side, but hadn't planned anything ahead of time.  So as I'm looking around in my pantry and fridge, I see some strawberry jam and get an idea for this creation!  It's gluten free and absolutely delicious!  It was hard to stop eating!  I hope you like it too!

Enjoy!

EASY PEASY STRAWBERRY CHEESY

1 8 oz. brick of cream cheese
1 cup strawberry jam
Couple drops of almond extract (optional)
Sliced almonds (optional)

1)  Pick a cute little serving plate or dish and plop the brick of cream cheese in the middle.

2)  Mix the strawberry jam and the almond extract and pour over the cream cheese.

3)  Sprinkle with sliced almonds.

4)  Serve with gluten-free crackers

NOTES:

~The almond flavor was very subtle, in fact, once you put it on the cracker, it's not super noticeable, but it adds a depth of flavor you'll appreciate!

~I used Glutino Original Crackers and they were delicious with it.  To me, they taste a little like pie crust, so with a sweet topping, they are perfect!
