This take on traditional chicken salad has received rave reviews wherever it's been served. I've even been able to convert my husband, who won't come within 10 feet of traditional chicken salad, into a "more please" kinda guy when I serve these curried chicken lettuce wraps for dinner! Also makes great leftovers as it tastes even better after a day or two!

Grilled Pineapple
Grilled pineapple is so easy and really good! Hot sauce gives it an extra kick and cuts the sweetness. Serve these as snacks while the rest of the grilled feast comes together but be warned, they go quickly!
Summa Borscht
This is a recipe from my mother's German-Mennonite ancestry. We eat it with hard-boiled eggs diced and added to the soup, for a meal in a bowl. Delicious!
