Strawberry Chicken Salad
Hi everyone! I am so very thrilled and honored to be here on The Country Cook’s fantastic blog! I first want to thank Brandie for inviting me to come over and share one of my recipes. I love love love Brandie! She is the sweetest! Her food blog is one of my top faves. I check it everyday to see what great recipe she has added. Her taste in food and recipes are a lot like mine. Simple, yet delicious. I am not into fancy ingredients and food. I am a busy mother of 3 beautiful children that keep me hoppin, so when I need to get dinner on the table, it needs to be quick and delicious!
I am married to the sweetest man alive. He is the greatest father to our children. He will even do my girls hair when I’m at work!! How about that! lol. It sounds cheesy, but we are true soulmates. He makes me laugh so hard, and we really do have a great marriage! We will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversay this year on July 1st! I also work full-time for 5 Ear Nose and Throat Doctors. Our clinic is very busy. We easily see close to 150 patients a day. I LOVE my job. I love working in the medical field and helping others. When I get off work, I am busy taking care of my kids, helping with homework, and getting housework done. Dinner time is my favorite. It is when I can experiment in my kitchen. My girls LOVE to help me cook.
My food blog is called ‘Life in the Lofthouse’. I started it back in October of last year, after some begging and pleading from my sisters and friends : ) I have enjoyed food blogging so much. I never imagined I would meet so many great people along the way, Brandie included! It has a alot of yummy and easy recipes, so come on over and see if you can find something you’d enjoy! Today I am sharing with you a salad I’ve been making for a few years. It is one of my hubbys favorites! I got the recipe from a restaurant I worked at when I was in high school.

Wonderful salad..I added some glazed pecans and bacon to this salad to kick it up a notch. :o)
Sandra Morrissey says
Really, 1 1/2 CUPS of dressing. I am surprised no one has commented on that is so much for a 2 person serving. Did I miss something, if so I appologise.
