Crisp Autumn Morning

I love mornings that are cool, wind blowing gently, and just listening to the tree branches giving in to the breeze. It has been one trying year. My hubby went into hospital 30 December 2013 and came out in May 2014. Did not know whether he would make it or not. Spent a lot time at work and hospital. He is home now and still ornery :). 

We have wild parrots flying around here. Awesome to just watch them, however they can be a bit noisy. Still waiting for the Cardinals and Blue Jays to come back...since Katrina they haven't been around. My garden this year went wild...WITH WEEDS :). there is so much to do and little time to do it. 

So, going to post a recipe.....there are no exact measurements for this as it all depends on individual taste. 

Chicken Salad

1 large can of Swanson's canned chicken (or whatever brand you prefer) 

Peppercini peppers, I use about 5 large ones...just depends on your taste, sliced

Mayo about 1/4 cup and again depends on your taste

Walnuts or pecans about a handful 

Cranberries - half a handful 

Drain the liquid from the chicken and put in a medium size bowl. Break up the chicken until it looks shredded. Add all other ingredients and blend together. 

I like this on croissant rolls. You can use any kind of bread that you choose, however regular sliced bread isn't my thing.  

You can also take lettuce and shred it then place an ice cream scoop size on top of it...makes a great salad or side dish. 

Hope you try this and have an awesome day.
