The owner/chef taught me her recipes. Her chicken salad was a favorite. It was made with turkey..... Link to post Share on other sites

RememberSchiff 3661 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Another ASM in my troop carries a pouch of bacon bits for non-desserts and another of semi-sweet chocolate for desserts.
