a few new recipe ideas

I have some recipes for you.

So obviously I have a bit of a thing for roasted vegetables. This is the third time I’ve posted some sort of roasted vegetables on Nanos Aprons.
Here’s the thing. They are just. so. versatile. I made these a couple of days ago, to add to the kale salad I was making for my grown up little ones. They are fond of kale/vegetable salad and I am happy to whip it up for them. I now have some leftovers and guess what,
I think I’ll put those leftovers in the ground chicken soup (check footnote at the bottom of the page***) I’m about to make. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Let’s talk about the vegetables and from there we can move on to the soup.
The recipes are for roasted cauliflower and roasted sweet potato and ground chicken soup.
Oh and some of you were asking about the peach/mango/avocado salsa I made last weekend. It’s right here on the blog. Just click the link.

If you have invited some friends for lunch and are looking for a yummy and easy lunch idea, check out this
Triple salad platter idea. I made it with Chicken salad #2 and potato salad, but go ahead and use other favourite salads if you prefer.  You can also make chicken salad out of plain old leftover chicken that you have in the fridge.   Be adventuresome with your seasoning and your dressing.  If you don’t want to use the recipes I have provided, use these recipes as a jumping off point.  The platter sits beautifully in the center of the table and everybody helps him/herself to whatever they want. Put a cheese board on the table or a basket of fresh bread or buns. Chit and chat and eat and your visit will be memorable indeed. The potato salad recipe has apple in it as does the chicken salad #2. Feel free to leave the apple out of one of these dishes.
The chicken salad is so good. I ate it that day for lunch and then for dinner.

***Footnote!
For goodness Sake! Went to the pantry to get some chicken stock and guess what, no chicken stock!
Oh Well, I just used water and added one can of aurora diced tomatoes and 2 TBLSP. balsamic vinegar. Oh and I had a yellow pepper in the fridge that was juuuuuust about done, so I diced that up too. See, never panic. Just a bit of This if you don’t have any of That and you are golden.
