Even though I was "cooked out" after Saturday, for some odd reason I was moved to cook more.. After dinner, about mid afternoon, I decided to use up some thawed chix breasts, and make chicken salad- for sandwiches, or filled cantaloupe. As that was going, I decided to use up a half a box of graham cracker crumbs, and some leftover Key lime juice, and make a version of a lemon bar, only different! I made a Key lime bar, with a cracker crumb crust, instead of the usual shortbread crust... Tart and tasty, topped with powdered sugar(I topped mine with whipped cream!) they are are refrigerated snack that disappears over a few days..

I *heart* chicken salad and no one in my family will eat it! I don't know what's wrong with them ... well, actually I do but that would take up WAY too much of the comment box :)
I want some of those refrigerated snacks!! Why don't I have a cooking husband? Why?
Can I borrow you for awhile??
thats great...that lime square sounds really good and I dont like citrus desserts.
curry chicken salad lasts only a few minutes around here.
i do loves me some chix salad. i make mock chicken salad now and i have to say...not bad.
I have a feeling there aren't many "hungry days" around your place.
Lasts a few days? In my house it all would be gone in seconds!!
YUMMY! That Lime tart sounds absolutely delicious!
& so does the Salad
Buf, what do you use for Salad dressing there? Is that mayonnaise?
I have seen people make dressing out of hung curd ( yogurt) which tastes really good.
dana- We had some in a half of cantalope for supper Tuesday night- light and refreshing!
jen- Because in New York City you don't need one!
leighann- I need a road trip...!
Dog- I make a pretty basic one, about enough for 4 servings..
Tanya- You mock your chicken??!!
jeff- Not many!
casdok- There's only two of us- it takes awhile!
mona- alot of different dressings can be used- this one was mayo,mustard, and a little veggie dip!
Lemon bars, yum. Canteloupe and chicken salad, ohhhhhh. I really must come to visit you, sit at your table.
I'm saladvating,, get it? Saliva? Sal... oh well.
But it does GOOD! That's one thing I've never made. I don't think my kids would eat it.
annie- I make a mean lemon or Key lime bar- but I do prefer the shortcake crust, and many other fruit flavors can be used! Love to cook for you someday!
bina- Oh, Cinderbina-(didn't you just love that?), sometimes you have to do things for you- not the kids! They'll eat the Key lime bars...

Right when you are coming over to England tell me what ingredients you need to cook whatever you want and I'll get everything you need. :) You get a free bed for the week!

I should follow your lead and use up some of the stuff in my pantry.
Key lime pie sounds divine right now--conjures up images of sunshine and warmth.
TV-Whipped cream on everything- that's what i say!
Ake- If I'm ever in England, a main reason you be to meet you!
