Welcome to the third day of my Blog-iversary Celebration. Today I am offering another fun Blog-iversary gift to one lucky winner, but first I thought I should answer a few questions from previous days.
1. What is the name of the dinnerware? It is Bordallo Pinneiro, and is made in Portugal. It comes in a pink, green, yellow, etc. I have the pink and use it for Easter and girlie events. I also have a yellow cake pedestal cake plate with bunnies that is great for Easter and summer! I love collecting dishes and glassware, and especially the Bordallo!
2. How did you make that Princess Cake? In spirit of full disclosure, I did not make the princess cake. It is a photo of a princess cake made with the Cricut Birthday Cakes cartridge and was used to advertise the cake machine. I "may have" nabbed the photo to use as a birthday cake photo for the blog-iversary!!
3. Can you share your Chicken Salad Recipe, it looks yummy? The recipe was originally published in Cooking Light magazine and I have been making this recipe (with variations) for the last 8 years or so. I will give you the recipe as I made it for the luncheon:
Curried Chicken Salad
Salad:
4.5 Cups of cooked chicken breast, cubed
2 Cups of red grape halves
1 20oz can of pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve juice for apple bath)
1 large apple, diced (put the diced apple in the pineapple juice to help prevent browning. Drain juice and add apples only to the salad).
1/3 Cup of craisins
1/2 Cup of sliced almonds
Combine in a LARGE bowl and mix well. Prepare dressing and mix to combine.
Dressing:
3/4 Cup of light Mayo
2 Tablespoons of Honey
1 Tablespoon of Curry (this DOES NOT make the dress "hot")
1 Tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
1/2 Teaspoon each of salt and pepper - or to taste
Whisk together and mix with the salad ingredients. Chill four hours prior to serving. Serve over mixed greens.
