Chicken Salad with a Caesar Twist!

I found this through my friend Marisa Wall's blog.  It's chicken salad sandwiches but it's made with Caesar dressing.  It was a tasty new way to make chicken salad.  I just cooked my chicken in the slow cooker with water, salt and pepper.  Then I shredded the chicken (ok Dennis was home so he did it!).  Then, we mixed in the Caesar Dressing and shredded Parmesan cheese.  You can add salt, pepper, parsley to taste.  I served on slider buns with fresh greens.  YUM!
For every 2lbs. chicken, the recipe calls for 1/2 to 1 cup dressing and 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan.  This will fill 12 slider buns or 4-6 hamburger size buns.  ENJOY!

Halloween Cupcakes


Yay, I didn't go a whole year between posts!!!  Wow, it's been a long time!  Anyway, my kids and I (well Cadey and I) made these fun little treats that were so easy for a Halloween Party we went to.  I got the idea from a Family Fun Halloween cookbook I found at Target for $1!  You just make cupcakes and frost (I was in a bit of a rush so cupcakes were from a mix and base frosting was from a tub!) For the bats you cut corners of Andes mints, and halve bites size peppermint patties.  We used mini M&Ms for eyes and I piped my homemade cream cheese frosting for the fangs.  The skeletons were even easier!  Just put down a mini marshmallow and piped the body.  We used a black gel to paint faces and dot eyes.  Simple, fun and cute, my kind of treat!!!
