White Sangria

This Sangria is great for summertime as it is so refreshing!

2 bottles white wine ( I used LakeRidge as I had it on hand, and is a little sweeter which I like)
1 two liter bottle Gingerale
2/3 cup peach schnapps
1 to 1.5 pounds frozen fruit (mango, pineapple, strawberry)

Mix everything in a large pitcher and let sit for about 6 hours before serving. Was just the right amount for a small party!

Chicken Salad

This Chicken salad recipe was a hit at my last party so thought I'd share it. I actually doubled it for a party of about 10 to 15 people and it was perfect. Using the rotisserie chicken was a time saver. If you have time, you could roast the chicken your self.

1 rotisserie chicken, remove skin and chop into bite size pieces
1 stalk celery, diced
1 green apple, diced
bunch red grapes, sliced in half
1/2 cup real mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
sprinkle of tarragon to taste
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted (save a few for spinkling on the top of the bowl)

Mix all ingredients together and serve in a big bowl, Garnish with a few of the toasted almonds. Serve with Croissants and lettuce.
