Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I don’t know what it’s like where you are, but here in the Midwest, it’s hot, hot, hot. 

I think I saw actual steam floating off my dash yesterday when I left work.  My plants are suffering, no matter how much water we try to give them; my husband has resorted to using our son’s slip and slide to attempt relief; and my makeup instantly evaporates when I walk outside.  

I am not one of these girls who have a “shimmery” appearance in this kind of weather.  Unless by shimmery, you mean sweaty.

Trust me, it’s hot.  And this is coming from a girl who wears a knee-length wool sweater around the office year round. 

Since my kitchen/dining area gets southwest exposure (good in the winter, not so much this time of year), I try to avoid using my oven in the summer months as much as I can.  Also, when it gets this hot, I simply can’t eat the heavy foods that I love during the fall and winter months.  Hmm…maybe moving to a warmer year-round climate would be good for my waist-size.

Anyway, this is a great, simple recipe that’s great for lunches or a light dinner.  And, if you’re like me, you typically have some leftover chicken in your fridge that you need to use up.

10 EASY SLOW COOKER MEALS RECIPE BOOK

Hello There!

Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
