curry chicken salad

This is comes together SO fast and is perfect on it’s own, loaded into a lettuce cup, piled high on a cracker or layered between two slices of bread topped with some fresh bacon, tomato & lettuce as a sandwich (if you choose the sandwich route add some good honey mustard, my personal fave!). This recipe uses mainly household staple items, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

thai papaya salad with mango, jalapeño & crushed peanuts

Are you ready for the salad that will leave you dreaming about it? This Thai inspired dish is so refreshing and is unlike any other medley that you have tasted before. The papaya has a bright, juicy flavor and when paired with Thai red chili peppers & jalapeño it is given an essence of heat but is cooled with the sweetness of mango and citrus of fresh squeezed lime. A sprinkle of palm sugar and crushed peanuts brings this dish all the way home. I promise you will want to make this one again and again.
