I’ve turned my house upside down the last couple of days trying to find my camera. I’ve made some pretty good dishes that I wanted to share with you, but I hate to do it without a photo. So bear with me until I can find that darn camera!

Here are a couple of good and easy dishes to try from www.elise.com/recipes

Tarragon Chicken Salad

2 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded

1 or 2 stalks of celery, chopped

¼ cup dried cranberries (or golden raisins or both)

¼ cup mayonnaise (or aioli)

1-2 tsp. dried tarragon

1 tsp. fresh lemon juice

Salt & pepper

Mix together all ingredients. Wrap in a tortilla, make a sandwich, or eat with veggies. The tarragon is delicious with chicken.

Easy Artichoke Dip 2 14 oz. cans of water-packed artichokes

2 cups freshly grated parmesan

1 cup mayonnaise

Salt & pepper

Drain artichokes and coarsely chop them. Combine artichokes, parmesan and mayo and place in an oven-proof dish, or a small crockpot. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Or, microwave for 5 minutes, occasionally stirring.

I added garlic powder. This dish is good because it is so simple.
