Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I love a good chicken salad sandwich.

  And there's a lot of different versions out there....but this one is my favorite.

 It's quick and easy.

 Yummy and inexpensive.

 This is perfect for refreshments for a crowd or for family lunch or dinner or brunch...whenevers really. 

 Chicken Salad Sandwich
2-3 cups chopped rotisserie or roasted chicken
1/2 - 1 cup mayo
chopped green onion, 2-3 stalks are good
1/2 cup grapes, halved
celery, half a stalk diced
pan juices from the chicken
salt/pepper

 And thats all folks.

 Mix everything in a bowl and have a taste.

 Add a little or a lot more of what you like (like more Mayo if your like my husband, or more grapes and celery if your like me). 

 This recipe is easy to adjust to your liking.

 Spread the mix on your favorite bread or rolls and enjoy.

 Other variations: some people like to add apples and cashews and whatnot. hmm...I wonder how mandarin slices would taste instead of grapes? But yeah I like this version best (yes im biased) and I think the grape texture holds up better and gives a nice sweet bite. 

 You can use canned chicken chunks or cooked chicken...but if you do I suggest heating the chicken in a pan and adding a splash of soy sauce, garlic, minced onion, and whatever seasoning you would use on a roasted chicken. Then adding it to a bowl and mixing in the other ingredients.

 I like to use my left over chicken from a store bought rotisserie or home roasted chicken. 
This was made from our left over roast chicken.

Start the year off with two volleyball tournaments for Leila. The picture below is of her and Isa, the only 14-year-olds on their U16 team.  Fires are destroying parts of California, the Palisade area experiencing the worst of it. Texas and some of the southern states are experiencing some of the worst snow/ice conditions. TikTok is on the verge of being banned, President Trump is continuously passing executive orders that are sending people into panic.  Saleima made a list of the disasters and warned us that Jesus was on His way.  Sefa moved up to the Teachers quorum and was ordained by his Dad, Uncle Dennis, and Uncle Ben. He's growing so quickly and I love seeing his growth. They have a great group of young men. I love that they are old enough to plan activities, including attending the temple to do Baptism.  Sefa's also starting U15 7v7 pylons with coach Matt Manuma. He had made the decision to not be held back for football. It's a common practice here in Utah, a...

Being Prepared For These Times

Auuuu that title sounds like I'm trying to write a General Conference talk or something hahaha. Probably still on the GC vibe from the beginning of the month lol. Anyways... So this pandemic that's going on, it's been something else! It has put the whole world on lock down. So many lives have been affected. I've written quite a bit in my journal, but I wanted to make sure to write about how the Lord has prepared our family specifically for this time. Looking back just in February and March, we can easily see how the Lord had orchestrated parts of our lives.  In February Aljay secured an art collector who commissioned several art pieces. His deposit was the cushion that brought a sense of financial security when we entered this lock-down life.  Towards the end of February, my bosses had heard about school closures in Seattle and decided that we should have a plan in place for our advisers to work remotely in case the schools had to close. We honestly didn...

2025 February

Leila - Volleyball and more Volleyball  Leila had two tournaments in February. This club season has challenged her in a good way. She wants to play the outside hitter position but is playing on a 16s team (meaning older girls with more experience) and is sitting in the 3rd spot for out side hitting. To get to the 1 or 2 spot she needs more reps, more practice, and more individual coaching. We're seeing improvements each week, but are planning to set aside money for her to do more 1:1 coaching.  These tournaments are no joke. They are allllll day. 6am - 7pm sometimes. 1-day, 2-day, and sometimes 3-day tourneys. The mental stamina it takes as a parent ahahahahh is a real thing! Trying to say the right things to keep your athlete focused, motivated, and locked in is tough. There are so many things that are over stimulating or compounding: - the non stop sound of whistles and girl's cheering/screaming - the smell of swass in the building that increases as the tournament progresses...
