Fruity Chicken Salad

Turkey sandwiches are by far my favorite for lunch, but sometimes I switch it up and eat chicken..
I'm wild like that.

The great thing about chicken salad is you can add whatever you want. 
Don't like craisins? Leave them out.
Like green grapes instead of red?  That's fine too.
I don't like too much mayo on mine, so I keep it on the dry side, but you can add as much as you like :)
Get a little wild and crazy like me and make yourself some chicken salad soon.

Fruity Chicken Salad

4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
Half jar of Orange Marmalade
1 cup Red grapes, halved
1/2 cup Celery, chopped
1/2 cup Craisins
One Gala Apple, chopped into bite size pieces
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Light Mayonaise (I use Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo with olive oil)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place chicken breasts in a bake dish coated with cooking spray and spoon orange marmalade on top of chicken.  Bake in oven for about 45 minutes.  Let chicken cool and then chop into bite size pieces.  Mix with the rest of the ingredients and serve on a Sandwich Thin.  Enjoy!

Oatmeal Applesauce Bread

I love baking bread when I have time on Saturdays.  It makes the house smell so good, you get to have lunch time sandwiches on fresh bread and it makes the best french toast for Sunday mornings.
The recipe below lets you use your bread machine, which makes things even easier!  I don't like the size of the loaves that my bread machine makes, so I use the dough cycle and then take it out of the machine.
I place the dough in a loaf pan and let it rise for about a half hour or so, then bake in the oven for about
30 minutes at 375 degrees.

Note:  I didn't have dry milk powder, so I used 1/3 cup water and 1/3 cup milk instead of 2/3 cup water and it was fine.
