FRIDAY
- Main dish: Loaded Chicken Salad– Over the years this has been one of the most loved recipes on my websites. There is a good reason too… it is DELICIOUS!! This chicken salad can be thrown together quickly and served as a sandwich, on a salad, or even stuffed in a tomato or pepper.
- Side:
- Italian Tortellini Salad– I love pairing simple salads together to make a meal with lots of flavor. These compliment each other so well.
- Mediterranean Chickpea Salad– Another salad that will just rock your world with flavor! I could eat this one all day long.
- Side:
- Dessert – No Bake Cookies– My personal method for these is to keep them hidden at the back of the fridge. One because no one knows they are there but me, and two because they taste so good chilled! You have to try it!
APPETIZER
- Honey BBQ Meatballs– I love how crazy simple this recipe is, and how you can leave it on in the crock pot to graze all day long if needed!
