Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Road Trip Chicken Salad

MF Chicken Salad
I used to always make this chicken salad before we'd take a road trip. I'd put it in a container and bring along some Wheat Thins and eat a salad-topped cracker every 300 yards.
Road Trip Chicken Salad
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup mayonaise
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons dill (use less if using fresh dill)
1 cup red grapes, halved
1 medium apple, cored and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 stalk celery, diced
3/4 cup cashews, chopped
Directions
Prepare all ingredients and then combine them together in a mixing bowl with a large spoon. Chill for about an hour before serving to set flavors. Serve on fresh croissants or simple crackers. Keeps in refrigerator 2-3 days.
