A New Chicken Salad

My mother in law is an amazing cook. From her famous egg rolls to her pho. She can make anything out of nothing and it be a gourmet dish. 

She finally introduced me to this amazing chicken salad her mother made. It's absolutely amazing. Now this isn't your typical chicken salad. It's better! 

Ingredients: 

As much as you'd like of: 

Bell peppers

Tomatoes 

Green onions

Hard boiled eggs

Lettuce

Diced chicken (we used leftovers)

Cilantro

Dressing: 

4 tablespoons ranch dressing

2 tablespoons thousand island dressing

1-2 teaspoons sriacha sauce to taste (optional) 

1 teaspoon fish sauce

Salt

Pepper

Throw all the veggies in a bowl together and mix. Mix the dressing ingredients in a separate bowl and then pour over salad and mix. Enjoy! This is such a simple and easy lunch! I'm addicted to it now. 

Earth Balance Butter Review

So both my kids are lactose intolerant, my youngest is extremely allergic and can't have any lactose at all. So far we've only used soy milk with him in fear that he will have another allergic reaction.

Earth Balance butter is vegan and gluten free and has no msg, non-GMO, and non-dairy.

We picked up a box of Earth Balance Buttery Sticks to use in baking. My mother in law and I tried them in some peanut butter cookies in hopes that we could make a snack for my one year old and the entire family. Well they turned out amazing and delicious. There honestly was a difference in taste, but it was a good difference. The cookies seemed softer and lighter to me.

The recipe we used was quite simple.

Preheat oven to 350.

2 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
1 cup sugar (you can mix half regular and half brown too)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Mix all ingredient in a bowl using mixer until smooth. Make 1 inch balls 1 inch apart. Flatten into cookies. Bake for 9 min then make marks in top with fork. Let sit for a few minutes then enjoy.

I purchased Earth Balance Butter on my own accord. I am not compensated for my reviews, so I do not make money on them. My review is in no way influenced by anything other than my personal opinion.
