Perfect for a Mother's Day brunch or even dessert! This was originally a very rich recipe that I found on the internet so I tried to tweak it to lower the fat. So yummy.
The Best Chicken Salad Ever
This is the best chicken salad I have ever had in my life, and it is so simple to make. Two things make this chicken salad super. The first is the combination of a creamy salad dressing and a coleslaw dressing. The second is that everything goes into the food processor, so the consistency is spreadable and all the flavors mingle well.
Basic Gingerbread Cookies
This recipe for basic gingerbread cookies is very easy and quick because the dough doesn't need to sit in the refrigerator. I'm horrible at rolling out dough and cutting out shapes. The oil in this recipe makes the dough less sticky. Decorate with frosting and candies, if desired.
