I wore this fun nautical scarf this past weekend with a navy 3/4 sleeve swing tunic and my favorite swing capri pants from Fresh Produce.  It was so cute and I had several compliments on this very lightweight scarf. Pretty cool for only $14.99!

Lokai Bracelet

Lokai Bracelet TT

Not featured in our catalog (but it SHOULD have been!), here is the story of the Lokai Bracelet from the founder…

Sometimes you’ve hit a low…Stay Hopeful. “A few years ago, I found myself in a moment of sadness, for my grandfather who had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The black bead of the lokai bracelet holds mud from the Dead Sea to represent this moment, when I felt at my lowest point.”

Sometimes you’re on top of the world…Stay Humble. “Yet at the same time, I was struck by a feeling of immense gratitude for where I was in my life. The white bead of the lokai bracelet carries water from Mount Everest to represent this moment, when I felt like I was on top of the world.”

Find Your Balance. “I brought these two key elements together because life is full of cycles. The rest of the beads are clear, because we all have our own story of balance to tell.” Pretty cool! Bracelets are sized Small – Large $18.99

We know TAX DAY 2015 is tomorrow…and in my book, TAX DAY requires one thing… CHOCOLATE!

Here is a recipe from long time customer, Linda Stum of Hutchinson, Kansas.  Linda shared this recipe for “Sinful Brownies” with me several years ago and it has become a favorite! Very simple to throw together, and absolutely delicious! Rich, dark and decadent! Mmmmmmm! Click here  for Sinful Brownie Recipe.

***NOTE*** Due to the dock strike on the West Coast, many of our vendors have had trouble getting their merchandise into their warehouses so it can be shipped to stores such as Adrians. Even though the strike has been settled, there is a huge backlog of products that have been affected by the strike.  I want you to know that we have made every effort to get all product advertised in our catalog into our store, but there are some items that will have limited quantities or may not be available. My sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Jenny’s Chicken Salad

21 03 2011

Jenny's Chicken Salad

Cool & refreshing on a warm spring or summer day, homemade Chicken Salad is just hard to beat!  We are continuing our series on Comfort Foods that are also Freezer Friendly, but are going to break away today from that for this post.  For those of you that have just discovered our blog, right now we are journaling through a day that we spent filling the freezer for our daughter-in-law, Cassie while she is recovering from some health issues.

Start with a Rotisserie Chicken

Our recipe today steps away from the freezer meals, because they were also in need of something that was just ready to grab out of the fridge for an easy to fix lunch. We started with a nice Rotisserie Chicken from the Deli.  Skin & de-bone the cooled chicken, then tear or cut into bite sized pieces.  We used one whole chicken.

Dice the celery

Dice the celery…this gives the chicken salad some great texture and CRUNCH!  This recipe comes from an experience our daughter, Jenny had while working at a great little diner one summer during college.  It is a light and delicious Chicken Salad that is refreshing served on a nice hearty bread, a light croissant, or on a lettuce leaf as a salad.

Halve your Red Grapes

Next, prepare your red grapes.  Wash and stem them, then slice in half. Jenny learned so much about made from scratch cooking during the weeks she worked at the diner!  (Note to self…we’ll have to feature the homemade Cream Puffs someday soon! 🙂

We go for the REAL mayonnaise...Hellmanns!

Mix up the sauce that holds it all together using Real mayonnaise, sugar, salt & pepper. It’s starting to look like Chicken Salad!

Serve on a hearty wheat berry bread, a light croissant, or on a lettuce leaf.  Refreshing and delicious!

Chicken Salad on Croissant

Any church potluck will confirm the fact that there are hundreds of great Chicken Salad recipes out there that are family favorites! We hope you enjoy this very simple one. Click here for easy print recipe.

Chicken Salad Diner Style

1 prepared Rotisserie chicken, cooled, deboned and torn into bite sized pieces
1 1/2 – 2 1/2 cups seedless red grapes, cut in half
3 – 5 stalks celery, finely diced
1 1/2-2 T. sugar
1 cup real mayonnaise…(really the REAL mayo!)
salt & pepper (optional)

Mix all ingredients together.  Add a little more mayonnaise if needed.  Chill thoroughly if you can wait! Delicious served on a fresh croissant, hearty wheat bread, or beautifully arranged on a lettuce leaf.

This is such a simple recipe, but delicious!  An option would be to add some slivered almonds or chopped pecans, but my family likes it better without the nuts. Pretty enough to serve at a ladies luncheon, and hearty enough that the guys even like it!

You Deserve Our Best! (Blizzard or not!)

2 02 2011

 

Spring Flowers...Ice & Snow...Sunshine...that's Kansas!

Exceptional people deserve exceptional service…I have often said that “Adrian’s has the best clients in the state…” and we really do mean it!  We strive to give every single person who walks into our business, or talks to us on the phone, or visits our store via our website an exceptional experience.  I am certainly not saying that we are able to make this happen 100% of the time, because we definitely make mistakes, but we rer very conscious of how we treat our clients.
