Balsamic and Honey Glazed Peaches

I saw someone make this on food network and I was like "Hey - that's so easy I don't even have to print the recipe!!" So I just made some for myself for supper. They were very tender and sweet, with a nice savory note from the balsamic. They could be used for a very fancy meal I think! But it only took 5 minutes to make!

Ingredients
Apricots, halved and pitted
couple tablespoons butter
1 part balsamic vinegar
1 part honey

Directions
Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Then add the apricots, flesh side down. Saute until they are warm, tender, and browned. Combine equal parts balsamic and honey. Drizzle over the apricots.

On food network, she talked about serving them over ice cream or yogurt. I just had mine plain, but that sounds like a good idea too!

Unicorn Chicken Salad

Oh my word - I LOVE this Unicorn Chicken Salad! My Aunt Sue always makes it and I adore it!! Why "Unicorn" you ask? I believe its because the recipe comes from a restaurant in my hometown called The Unicorn, and they were famous for their chicken salad.

My pictures don't do it justice - mostly because I used a ton of mayo so it just looks white. I love mayo. :) This is a big batch but I used 3 chicken breasts, 1 small package nuts, 1 can water chestnuts and enough grapes to go throughout. And about 2-3 pieces of celery. And then I used 1/4 of the sauce to make myself lunches for a few days in a row. I've also used canned chicken which works well, but since I'm pregnant now I'm not supposed to eat that without cooking it first.

Anyway, this is soooo yummy. I mean who doesn't love chicken salad? But THIS is savory with the soy sauce, sweet with the grapes, and then has a nice, unexpected kick from the curry powder. YUM! I can hardly wait for lunch tomorrow! I'm going to enjoy mine on some toasted french bread.



Ingredients
2 quarts cooked chicken breast (I broiled mine to keep it moist)
2 6oz cans of sliced water chestnuts
2 lbs seedless grapes (I used red tonight)
2 cups chopped celery
2 1/2 cups toasted slivered almonds
3 cups mayo
1 T curry powder
2 T soy sauce
2 T lemon juice

Directions
Combine chicken, water chestnuts, grapes, celery and almonds. In another bowl, mix mayo, curry powder, soy sauce and lemon juice. Pour sauce over first mixture and mix well. Chill. Enjoy!

Its good over lettuce, on a sandwich, croissant or toasted bread, or even plain!!
