Chicken Plus Salad

Last night we had this chicken salad and my husband complimented me on it so much that I thought I better keep a record of how to make it. I called it chicken plus cause it's chicken plus lots of other stuff (too many things to list in the title!)

600g chicken breast
2/3 C craisins
1 small packet of sliced almonds
3/4 red onion
1 1/2 C grapes cut in half
1C chopped apple
1C Greek Style Yoghurt

You could pretty much eat it as a salad, in a sandwich, buns, whatever. We had it in toasted pitas and cause its quite chunky it stayed in them well.

Dilly Ligaya - birth to eight weeks

Pics from Dallin's first 8 weeks. (There's actually 242 in her folder right now so this is just a fraction of them.....glad to know that even though she's our 4th baby, she's still going to have a whole lot of photos!)


At 8 weeks old now, her homecoming outfit (from Aunty Nae for Ella) has been put in the
'too small' pile :(




My little snug bug, always wrapped up tight

BEFORE!

AFTER!


Aunty Beezy, these pics remind me of your photo booth ones, don't think I should take up photography!












And that's it, we've made it to 8 weeks today and we're heading off to the paediatrician in about an hour. Dallin is a tricky, stubborn little critter.....maybe colic, but just going to be sure. And as is always the way when you make an appointment with a specialist, the past 2 days she's improved so much. Annoying cause I've still got to drive all the way to St Helliers but so so so good if she's turned the corner and is now going to actually sleep on her own and not cry hysterically (especially from 5-9pm every night!)

But I love you Dilly, so so so much. I love that you're starting to smile, I love your chubby little cheeks and how you love to be snuggled by Mum and Dad. You're a little doll my darling xoxo
