Cran-Apple Pecan Chicken Salad
I tried Chicken Salad for the first time a couple years ago at a baby shower. So good. Since then I've been on the search for an awesome chicken salad recipe. Everyone I asked had the same reply, "I just throw whatever in it." Ugh. I needed specifics. Maybe this is why I love baking… Continue reading Cran-Apple Pecan Chicken Salad

Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Bread Crumb Pasta
This is a very simple meal to whip up when you're craving Italian and are bored with spaghetti. This has been a real treat for me since I went a year without tomatoes.
