BlogWho?

Okay, so I am not at BlogHer. And really I’m fine. I mean who wants to travel to a really cool city, meet people with similar obsessions hobbies, get tons of free stuff and go to parties?
Me, that’s who.
But since I’m not at that party, I am thrilled that I was invited am crashing this one:

Because I’d never show up uninvited and empty handed, I’m bringing my favorite chicken salad. It has just the right mix of sweet and savory, crunchy and chewy.  I love it because it keeps my kitchen cool and it’s easy to prepare.
That leaves me plenty of time for my other pursuits.
Like coloring with markers, really simple sewing projects, taking creepy pictures, confessing my sins, and dressing up my dog.
You know, the usual.

Here’s the recipe, compliments of Leanne Ely with my notes in italic:
CHEERY CHERRY CHICKEN SALAD
Makes 2 main-course servings.

I never measure, just eyeball it
2 cups cubed cooked chicken If you are looking for some extra flavor, grill the chicken
1/2 cup dried tart cherries Craisins work well too
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
3 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley

In a large bowl, combine chicken, cherries, walnuts and onions; mix well.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, oregano and pepper; pour over chicken mixture.
Mix gently.
Refrigerate, covered, 1 to 2 hours.
Feel free to eat straight from the bowl, standing in front of the open refrigerator. That’s how I like it.

And for the sweet tooth, I brought these:

Party on.
