Tasty Chicken Salad

I have never liked chicken salad, tuna salad, or anything close. This recipe is actually really good. My husband loved it, and thought it was one of the best chicken salads he had ever had. I am not the one to judge, but if he liked it then it must be good because he is picky!

Ingredients

Directions
  1. Combine everything. Chill for a hour.
  2. Wonderful on toast, or on crackers or use to stuff a tomato.

Rustic Red Cabbage

I was not sure what to expect from this recipe, but my husband said he wanted a recipe from his homeland so I obliged. This recipe was good if you like cabbage, which I do not. He loves cabbage and thought this was fantastic. It was a little too sweet for me so I would suggest adding the sugar a little at a time to make sure you do not get it too sweet for your liking.

If there was nothing else I could say about this recipe I would have to say that I love the color. It’s beautiful and it certainly stands out on your plate. Cabbage loves will love this recipe!!

Ingredients:
  • 1 head red cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 pinch pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

  1. Cut and shred cabbage.
  2. Cook in a small amount of boiling water with salt, sugar, cloves and pepper for about 45 minutes.
  3. Don’t let it boil dry, but don’t add too much water.
  4. During the last 10 minutes of cooking time add the vinegar.
  5. Just before serving add the butter and seasoning.

The Last Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe You’ll Ever Try

The title says it all. This is the best peanut butter cookie recipe I have ever made. They are so good you don’t want to stop eating them. The smell while they are baking is incredible too. I know the recipe may seem like over kill because it makes so many, but trust me you won’t regret the results.

80 -100 cookies
Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cream peanut butter and margarine, add sugars and mix well.
  2. Add eggs and mix until creamy.
  3. Add remaining ingredients.
  4. Chill for one hour-I usually skip this step and chill between batches.
  5. Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets- do not flatten. (I roll into balls)
  6. Bake at 325°F for 15 minutes.
  7. Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer onto newspaper- the newspaper soaks up extra grease.
  8. Edited to add – Immediately after the cookies are completely cooled I always transfer them to an airtight container.
