Cherry Chicken Salad by Cindy’s Recipes and Writings

July 1, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 4 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I am very excited to have Cindy from Cindy’s Recipes and Writings fill in for me today!  I have been a fan of Cindy’s blog for a long time now and I just simply love her recipes.  I really think you will love Cindy just as much as I do!  Plus today’s recipe is one that you won’t want to miss!  I can tell you I will be making this for my lunches this week!  Let’s give Cindy a warm Peanut Butter and Peppers welcome!!  Take it from here Cindy….

Hi, I’m Cindy from Cindy’s Recipes and Writings . I’m so excited to be guest posting for Jennifer today here at Peanut Butter and Peppers !

Jennifer and I share a love for food and gardening and counting calories comes second to eating in moderation. She is an amazing cook! I love her site and stop by often for recipes and tips on healthy eating.  My blog is about all things food from farm to table. I feel it is very important to know where your food originated and what goes into what you serve your family. Fresh, local organic produce always tops my list. Most recipes are 30 minutes or less.
In keeping aligned with healthy eating, I chose to share a salad with you today. This Cherry Chicken Salad is packed with fresh, in season dark sweet cherries in the salad and in the dressing!

Sweet cherries are packed with vitamin C and fiber and are a good source of Vitamins A, K and iron. I push cherry halves through a mesh strainer to juice. Add the leftover pieces to your salad or another recipe or eat as a snack!  * Here’s a tip for getting those cherry stains off your fingers. Dip your fingers in white vinegar lightly rub in then while still wet, dip your fingers into baking soda and rub. The paste does the work. Repeat if necessary. Usually once and done!

Your salad looks incredible!  I love cherries and the dressing, oh my gosh!  I think it would be amazing on so many different recipes!!    Plus the tip on getting the cherry stains off your fingers is genius!  I wish I knew that before I pitted all of my cherries and ummm, hand red fingers.  🙂

Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and E Happy Thursday! Don’t you just love spring and Easter? I’m sure going to miss styling with bunnies, eggs and carrots. It seems Easter is early this year. I have no clue how I will decorate after Easter? I may just keep my decor up past the holiday?
🐇
I’m sharing with you my new centerpiece on my dining room table. It has a peach theme to match with my carrot cart. The beautiful white trays are from my friends at @feltcreativehome. I staggered the smaller tray onto the big tray by putting some candles under it. I think it looks pretty cool this way. You will be seeing these trays again as they are the perfect size for styling my decor. The trays come in a set of two. You can find them on Amazon under Felt Creative Home.
🐇
The tea towel is from my friend Alicia @theblessedpeach. The beautiful wooden bunny is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. The ceramic bunnies, candy and glass jars are from Target.
🐇
Do you have any plans for Easter?

Happy Wednesday! Boy oh boy! It’s still raining Happy Wednesday! Boy oh boy! It’s still raining here. Plus it’s been cold. It makes it so hard to photograph. Plus to mention without sun, I have no motivation.
🐰
I am sharing with you how I styled my little table. I received the cutest wooden eggs from @sugarnmilkco. I love the pastel colors. They are just so cute and go with my Easter decor beautifully.
🐰
Sugar n Milk Co is having a Spring sale. Be sure you check them out. They ship fast too. The link is in my bio.
🐰
Hope the sun is shining where you live!

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left. 
🐰
This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!
