Cranberry-Walnut Chicken Salad by Ashley

I know I know their are a million different chicken salad recipes and you probably have your favorite, but I think you should at least try this. My favorite is still my Mom's chicken salad, but this one is awesome also.

Ingredients:
4 cups of cubed cooked chicken
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 rib celery, finely diced
2-4 Tablespoons, finely minced shallot (don't freak out about the shallots, it is just like an onion. they are really good)
1 cup of dried cranberries
1 Granny Smith apple, chopped
1/3 cup canola mayo
2/3 cup low-fat Greek yogurt (Greek yogurt is super good for you and very creamy)
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons minced flat leaf parsley ( i didn't use this)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Adjust shallots and seasoning to taste. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Enjoy!!

Yummy Corn Casserole By: Lindsey

Hey ladies! Well, just wanted to let you in on a GREAT recipe that my mother-in-law shared with me. EVERYTIME I make it people go on and on about how much they love it. The other day, at a neighborhood block party(where I knew no one) someone called me the corn girl and asked everyone to give me a round of applause for the corn casserole that I made(and they did). Ha! So, definitely try this one. You will LOVE it! 1 8oz. cream cheese 1 can creamed corn 1 can whole kernel corn(drained) 1 box of jiffy corn bread mix 1 stick of butter Mix all the ingredients together(I would highly recommend using a mixer...not by hand). Spray a small pyrex dish(unless you double the recipe, then use a 9x13). Pour the mixture into the dish. Bake on 400 for 45 min-1 hour. Take out when it is a little brown.

Buffalo Chicken Chili

Hey Friends!! This recipe is super easy and quite good. Beware that it is a little spicy. If you like wings or anything buffalo style then you will like this. Buffalo Chicken Chili Ingredients : 2 chicken breasts (cooked & shredded or raw & whole) I used 3 total. 1/2 bottle Frank's Buffalo Sauce 1 (15.5-oz) can beans (garbanzo, black, pinto, whatever!) I used garbanzo. 1 large sweet onion, chopped 2 (15-oz) can tomato sauce (oops! I think I only used 1 can) 1 can cream-style corn 1 cup salsa 2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped I used sliced jalapenos in a jar. Directions : Dump everything into the crockpot, and stir well. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. If your chicken was raw when you put it in, take it out after about 8 hours, shred it, and then stir it back into the chili. Enjoy!
