This week, there are many different recipes we have for you. Chicken. Lots of salads, both fruit and vegetable. A marinated mushroom recipe, and a dill pickle recipe.
We start with Jennifer Broussard’s Honey Glazed Chicken from Treasures and Pleasures cookbook.
Next is Chicken Cranberry Salad from Paths of Sunshine Cookbook published by Florida Federation of Garden Clubs.
In New Vision Community Church’s Feeding the Flock, we found Perry Walker’s Seven-Fruit Salad that uses all fresh fruit. Lovely! And nutritious.
We found the pot of gold with Northside Baptist Church’s cookbook. We have four recipes from these wonderful folks who really know their way around the kitchen.
First is Carolyn Cartmill’s My Favorite Fruit Salad. Next is Jeanne Ustler’s ‘Johnny Edmonds’ Bean Salad’. Margaruite Nowell’s Broccoli Salad looks scrumptious! Make it the day before you want to serve it. And Val Smith’s Super Salad is teriffic!
We have Marinated Mushrooms from Susan Nethercote, a wonderful friend and long-time reader who has shared her family’s The Jones-Morris Family Treasury with us. Prepare the mushrooms the day before and serve them cold as an appetizer.
From Plains, Georgia’s Plains Pot Pourri, we have a Dill Pickle recipe for you.
It is so simple and quick. You must try this one, even if you are new to the art of pickling.
