  • This chicken salad is amazing, the combination of grapes with pecans, mixed in with a creamy mixture of mayonnaise, dijon mustard and honey go so beautiful with the perfectly juicy chicken. It's so easy to make and always ready to go, you pack it up and take it to work or school and it'll never let you down.

So guess what? you sparked something in me, I'll be heading toward the kitchen with your recipes in tow. Don't change anything in your presentations.

I made the Chicken Salad for my church's 50's And Above Monthly Gathering. The Chicken Salad was a great hit. Several people asked where was the Chicken Salad. It went quick. I promised to make more for next month. Thank you for your recipes. Thank you for your sunny and delightful personality. You are a wonderful cooking teacher. I look forward to learning more from you. I am 70 years old and I still can learn. God bless you and your husband.

      🍀 🐿️ I think I'll call Rachael's cooking "Common Sense Cooking.". She knows just when and how to cool things down or heat them up, and when adding ingredients, she doesn't plop them all in one spot. They'll need to be mixed through, so she sprinkles them across the bowl. So many cooks don't. I love her easy-going delivery with an invitation for us to be creative and to tweek her suggestions according to our taste. She's a real treasure❣️🌿

    Your caring demeanor is so inspiring during an era of feminism, where women get criticized for “catering” to their husbands. I love that you prepared yourself a sandwich demonstrating your time preparing food was not solely for him but rather for you both! In addition, you doing your own thing, (cooking, sewing, etc.) while he is golfing, teaches us all much more about relationships than just preparing a scrumptious chicken salad sandwich for Ron! God bless both you and your hubby! “Estómago lleno, corazón contento!”

Very thorough and also pointing out how a beginner cook can change things up to suit their tastes.

    We (hubby & I) made my recipe for chicken salad with grapes & pecans for lunch today. He chopped, while I made the dressing. When we went to get some more out for dinner, it looked like the dressing had been completely absorbed, so I whipped up a half batch of your dressing, and threw in a handful of dried cranberries. It was excellent! So flavorful - I'm throwing out my old, family-favorite recipe for yours, dear Rachel. So yummy!

My French grandmother was a great example of the blend of French/Italian. Thank you so much - I am so glad I found you. Some "accidents" are wonderful and bring you "home" again.
    And I should thank my dear mother, too, for keeping it alive in her kitchen when I was growing up in NJ. I'll be back again; with my shopping list.

    Hello Sweetie 🙋‍♀️ ~ I have just found you and I'm so excited about it! 😊 This cornbread salad looks sooo good. Boy, how I wish I had a bite right now 😋!
    You remind me so much of my Aunt Doris Ann from the country in Clanton, ~ Chilton County Alabama❗ I loved her so much ❤️ I miss her so much too 😢, but today you have brought her back to me one more time. ❤️ My grandfather had 100 acres he farmed and she lived right next to them. We would go there every other weekend. He even has peaches 🍑 for many years. He had corn, 🌽 watermelons,🍉 peanuts,🥜 cantaloupe, 🍈 peas🌱 and as a kid I thought he raised everything. But he raised cattle, had horses, mules, donkeys but he was best known as a Dairy Farmer. He used to sell his milk 🥛 to Barbers.
    Thank you for today and I'm subscribing to your channel and sharing it with my entire family.
    Count your blessings 'til I see you again and I'll do the same ~ and you are mine today!

      @@sammyjo8109 When cooking for a get together, it's probably a good idea not to add nuts to anything simply because so many people seem to have nut allergies. Cooking for yourself, you could substitute the pecans with walnuts, nicely chopped up. Waldorf salads have walnuts and apples and a lot of people love this salad.
