I'll probably add some cooked, sliced sausage to it since Clay likes having meat with his dinner. <br /><br />Later this week, I'm making Hot Chicken Salad, which my MIL's recipe.<br /><br />From my MIL (all notes hers):<br />Hot Chicken Salad<br /><br />1 whole chicken cooked and meat pulled off<br />2 cups Celery, chopped I use a little less<br />1/2 onion, chopped<br />8 oz can water chestnuts drained & chopped<br />1 can cream chicken soup ( I used 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the chicken broth from the cooked chicken instead of the soup)<br />2 Tblsp lemon juice<br />3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Miracle Whip)<br /> <br />Put in a 9x13 baking dish and top with buttered bread crumbs (I did not use buttered). Bake at 350<br /> <br />I also added a little salt and pepper since I did not use canned soup.<br /> <br />I make rice and serve the salad over it. You can make the rice and mix it in before you bake it. I bake until bubbly and the celery is soft.<br /><br /><br />I'll probably make BBQ chicken legs too, which is basically this recipe - http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/04/barbecue-chicken/ - except that I make my dad's BBQ sauce recipe and use that instead. <br /><br />BBQ Sauce<br />1 ¼ cup ketchup<br />¾ cup chunky Picante type salsa<br />½ cup soy sauce<br />1 cup brown sugar<br />½ teaspoon garlic powder<br />¼ teaspoon pepper<br />2 teaspoon parsley<br />Combine all the ingredients. Heat through and simmer 10 – 15 minutes. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.<br /><br /><br /> The BBQ sauce can be made with all ketchup, but I'd cut back on the sugar then (probably halve it) or you can make it with all tomato sauce instead of the ketchup and salsa, but then you'll need more sugar (probably double it). You might want to add some onion powder or chopped up onion too if you don't use salsa. <br /><br />I made this recently - http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/04/chicken-with-mushrooms-and-artichokes/ and it was really good. You could probably leave out the artichokes and it'd still be good.<br /><br />If you want yet another pumpkin recipe, I made pumpkin bread pudding last week and it was really good and very simple. http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/10/pumpkin-bread-pudding/<br /><br />If you can still get good tomatoes there, this salad recipe is awesome - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tomato-cucumber-and-feta-salad-recipe/index.htmlHeidi Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549701034718595411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1767613040515745730.post-38919613653816381362011-10-17T15:25:52.514+04:002011-10-17T15:25:52.514+04:00This post just made me so hungry.

I'm so jealous we can't control the heat in our building so we just have to freeze until they decide it's cold enough to turn on! <br /><br />I kept forgetting to reply to you too. I used to have the problem on my Mac but started using Mozilla rather than Safari and that fixed the problem. I don't know why it happens with Safari and blogger.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311088408907148236noreply@blogger.com
