Lunchtime Tip...Eureka!!

I have been researching a lot of new recipes lately. Seems like my kiddos are in a funk, granted I love PB&J but they need more variety. Well when hubby and I got married we got a mini food processor. I have only used it a handful of times. After seeing recipes for different meat salads I thought hmmm....idea.

Why not process the chicken or ham salads in the mini food processor? It makes it smooth and creamy and more appealing to my kiddos. The boys took turns pushing the button. (what a great way for kids to be involved in meal time)


Today I made them chicken salad.

1 can of chicken
1 tbsp sweet relish (one that I canned myself)
1 to 2 tbsp mayo
pepper and curry powder to taste

Puree to your liking.

This was wonderful. Easy on their palate as there was not a lot of chewing and they got to use my cool snowman spreaders to put the salad on crackers.

Next up, leftover filling and wonton wrappers. Yumm-oh!!!
