"BJ's" Chicken Salad. With chicken, apples, walnuts, strawberries, raisins... And "Uncle A." put some avocado on his. Check "BJ's" post out.... By clicking here... :-)
Sat. I finally made something from the only G/F Mix, which tastes good, to me. It's G/F Chocolate Chip Cookies... But because of how careful I am, about what I eat, I always use a colander, to sift the chocolate chips out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, I did that very thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ And promptly poured a bunch of them, back in!!! Eeeeeeek! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Talk about allowing my "Wish I Could" self, to take over. lol. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I took the above photo, while I was trying to scoop OUT of the Bowl, the half of the ch. chips, which I had poured back into the bowl.
I didn't get them ALL out. But did a *masterful* job of trying to. -chuckle-
Not many ch. chips left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I don't eat chocolate chips, even though I love them? Because I should not eat chocolate (or anything with caffeine in it)... because I have Mitral Valve Prolapse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ And because chocolate chips have too much Sat/Fat in them, which clogs heart arteries. About 4 years ago, I had to have 3 stents put into my arteries, to avoid a massive heart attack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ And that is why, I am careful about what I eat.
The heart will probably get me in the end, but meanwhile... I am trying to be as careful as I can... To not hurry that happening. :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you (or your mate) have health issues or problems? Do you (both) try to live in a way, to stay as healthy, as is possible?

the chicken salad doesnt' appeal to my taste buds, but I LOVE LOVE the plate it is on...yes, we try to eat healthy, hubby had heart attack with stints added in 02, in 07 heart attack with 3 bypass open heart surgery, which almost killed ME...we don't keep sugar or snacks in the house, only eat that every other week when we go out to eat.
Yummy looking salad on a gorgeous plate...made a lovely photo :)
Yes...there are heart problems in my family. My parents had them. I hate to hear that you are having them also, Auntie.
I love your header photo and I keep fotgetting to say something!!!
That salad looks good...good for you watching what you eat to stay as healthy as you can
Chicken salad looks wonderful! Your food pictures always look wonderful. As for not eating chocolate... oh, that would be difficult. We LOVE dark chocolate here. But we do try not to eat but a small amount daily. And yes, I'm very 'food conscious' and follow basically a macrobiotic diet - only fresh foods, no canned and little frozen.
Yeah health issues up the arse at the moment at my sea, so have to watch every little thing that goes in me, sucks a ton, but oh well must be done.
I want some of those chocolate chip cookies!!!
The only health issue I have is high sodium because I love salt too much lol.
Auntie...I finally did it!!! I have my "book blog" up and running and in a way that I feel comfortable with :) I only have two books on there as of this moment, but more are on their way :D

That chicken salad looks awesome. For some of us, myself, it takes a health scare to get on track. I've become the sodium police at work. LOL!!!

ummm....your chicken salad looks amazing.
Thank you for the shout out...:)
I can go for a week at a time without chocolate...then, I HAVE to have some. I like dark chocolate so try to eat just it..however..ANY chocolate is heaven to me.
Yep, Mr. Sweet has 2 stents around his heart...I have one behind my knee...P.A.D. We watch our food intake SOME but not enuf.
Hi
I don't like to combine fruit with meat or savory things like salads. But always add avacado to salads. I've got my fibro and Mr OP has diverticulitus issues so we do really watch what we eat. If we lapse we pay for it.

I wish I liked to eat salads more...I know I should. I am glad you have learned to be more disciplined with careful eating. Heart issues are scary.
Did you hear the news I did today about the Mediterranean diet and how efficacious it is? Much better than previously thought and better than many medications for lowering bp and bad cholesterol. I have always loved olive oil and macadamia nuts, too!
