Curing The Craving...

I was craving a yummy, chicken salad sandwich today. Not just any chicken salad though, it had to have grapes in it. I found this delicious recipe on Kuki's Kookbook:

Amber's Grape Chicken Salad

• 4 cups chopped grilled chicken
• 2 cup red grapes, cut in half
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mayo
• 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/2 cup almonds (optional)

mix all ingredients together and then chill at least two hours before serving.

Tips:
It definitely satisfied my craving. Next time I'd cut back on the mayo, just a bit to much for my taste. I ended up using two cans of white meat chicken. I omitted the almonds; not because I don't like them, I simple didn't have them. I substituted dried cranberries instead. It was scrumptious. I'll definitely do half a cup of mayo next time & add the almonds (I'm sure they will give great texture). Enjoy!

PS. You don't have to necessarily let it chill for two hours. I served mine right away.

Dripping Roast Beef Sandwiches

Ingredients:
1 can Campbell's Condensed French Onion Soup
1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
3/4 lb. thinly sliced deli roast beef
4 Hoagie Rolls
4 slices of provolone cheese
1/4 c. drained mild banana pepper rings (or substitute mushrooms & onions sauteed)

Directions:
1.Heat oven to 400 degrees

2.Heat soup & Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over med-high to a boil. Add beef and heat through, stirring occasionally.

3.Divide beef mixture among rolls. Top beef with cheese slices and place sandwiches on a baking sheet.

4.Bake 3 min. or until toasted & cheese is melted. Top each sandwich with sauteed mushrooms & onions.

Tips:
I'm not even sure if I used condensed french onion soup. I think I just grabbed the first french onion soup I saw. It worked though and was a great dipping sauce. The recipe doesn't say, but keep the remaining sauce from pan to use as a dip for the sandwiches. I was pretty sure my kids wouldn't be yellow pepper fans, so I did fresh mushrooms & onions. This recipe was SO EASY & SO GOOD! I used wheat hoagie/sub rolls to make it a bit healthier. My whole family really enjoyed this lunch!
