Chicken Salad Skewers #SundaySupper

Chicken Salad Skewers

This week Sunday Supper is highlighting Food That Travels. My Chicken Salad Skewers arrive neatly stacked and ready to eat! Lay these beauties on a fresh bed of lettuce and dinner’s ready!

I think it’s nice to have some cold choices at get-togethers. Most functions I go to station a grill guy or gal at the helm. Usually this cook flips the burgers, turns the chicken and chars the corn for the entire bunch of us!
A handy cooler full of refreshing bottled and canned beverages are close at hand.
I used to be the chip and pretzel gal. You have to admit bagged snacks travel well.
Now I try to be a bit more creative.
35 more recipes and 5 cool picnic tips!

Tuna Couscous Salad #RecipeReDux

Tuna Couscous Salad

I received free samples from Bumble Bee Seafoods that are mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Bumble Bee Seafoods and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.

I’ve always been a tuna nut. Give me a can and some crackers as a kid and it was the best lunch ever!

Today I still eat a lot of tuna and other seafood as well. I know now that there is more to tuna than just great taste. Bumble Bee and Recipe Redux are challenging tuna loving members like me to put their tuna where our mouth is and take this challenge!

Root Beer Barrel Ice Cream #FoodieExtravaganza

During this first full month of summer Foodie Extravaganza is all about ice cream. We’re coming up with creative ice cream flavors for traditional ice cream, gelato, semi-freddo, and even popsicles!

We’ve been on a root beer kick lately with floats, shakes and Black Cow Cupcakes . Root beer barrels sneak into my purse and his pocket. Hmm, how did those get there?

Root Beer is a great flavor to enjoy as a cold ice cream treat. Crush a few root beer barrels and mix in and sprinkle on top for even more root beer goodness!

No cook and no eggs makes this a quicker version of creamy deliciousness!

Ice cream hint: whole milk or 2 percent added to the cream helps cut down on grainy texture. Skim milk produces more of an ice milk texture.
