Fruity Curried Chicken Salad

When I first began blogging, I mentioned that much of my cooking was measurement free. This is one of those recipes. I am trying to eat better and have been bored with sandwiches for lunch. The other day I thought I'd go in the kitchen and whip up some chicken salad. This is different from the traditional southern chicken salad that I normally make...with eggs, and homemade sweet pickle. This turned out so delicious.. I will be making it in a larger portion soon!

One small can chicken breast
1-2 TBSP light mayonnaise (start w/ one tbsp and add more if needed)
not quite 1/4 tsp curry powder
craisins
diced apple
chopped celery
toasted chopped pecans
Fresh spinach

Add as much as you like of the fruit, celery, nuts and curry powder. Its all a personal preference. Mix it all together. Layer some fresh spinach leaves on a plate and spoon chicken salad over spinach. So good!!

Nutter Butter Banana Pudding

Doesn't that sound gooooood?!?!? Well...it is! I saw a similar recipe in Southern Living and since I love the recipe I already use for banana pudding, I didn't change a thing..except the cookies.
So..if you'd like to try this out, follow my recipe for Banana Pudding and substitute nutter butters for the vanilla wafers. It took almost 2 whole packages of Nutter Butters.
