Easy, Healthy Chicken Salad

I used a lemon pepper roasted chicken from United and boned enough chicken for two salads. I added half a tomato and some spinach to each salad. Separately, I added fresh green beans, salt, and pepper to boiling water, tasting until the green beans were to my taste. For the dressing, I mixed olive oil and balsamic vinegar, more olive oil than balsamic vinegar. Can't get much easier than that, and it was good enough that I'm taking it for lunch tomorrow!

Guacamole

Eva Longoria (?) shared her recipe for guacamole on television yesterday. I made it and there's none left to take a picture of! She used large amounts of onion. I LOVE guacamole, and this is my favorite ever!

• 1 avocado and 1 tomato or two of each, etc.


• your taste of chopped onion, cilantro (fresh), jalapeno pepper, salt, and pepper

Primroses

Are these primroses? I love perennials.....no fuss! They're from Kayla's yard, and before that, from Wanda's yard. So pretty and so hardy!

Cascaronies

• This is one of my favorite drawings, by Ashley. She is cracking a cascaroni on Aimee's head. My mother made us cascaronies when I was a child. I loved hitting my brothers on the head and it was ok to do it! It is a tradition from Mexico. One year, when the girls were teenagers, I didn't make cascaronies. They weren't happy, wanting to hunt and crack the eggs!


• I have been buying brown and blue eggs from Jenny at work to that I don't have to color the eggs. I made some for our 1 1/2 year old granddaughter, Meryl, this year.


• When you use an egg, you break it near the top so that you have most of the egg. Rinse it out and let it dry. Color the eggs and let them dry. Fill with confetti and glue tissue paper over the top. Hide the eggs on Easter and let the fun begin!
