Hot Chicken Salad

I make this super easy chicken salad and serve it hot over a bed of cool lettuce: it is fantastic! The specific spice I use is a Schwartz brand available in the UK.

Butter Pecan Crème Brulee

This dessert is fantastic. It is a US recipe, but easily converted. When using the Splenda I used packets, which aren't available in the UK, so I estimated 1pkt - 1tablespoon of the pourable kind, and that seemed to work out alright.

Ham and Cabbage Bake

A US recipe, but easily converted.

Cheesy Chicken Green Bean Casserole

This is a US recipe, but conversions are easy since measurements don't really need to be exact.

Cottage Pie

Traditional British favorite meat and potato dish, with vegetarian version. Serves 4-6. Prep time: 30 min, cook time: 45-90 minutes depending on oven temp. Difficulty: med. Experiment with oven times before needing this on a deadline! Lovely with broccoli and peas.

Little chicken and mushroom pies, great for dinner or snacks

Chicken Chorizo and Beans

A tip of the hat to Nigella Lawson... this is great served with spring greens or cabbage.

Best Cheesecake Ever

This is a US recipe, but easily converted, and an amazing cheesecake! I make it all the time and serve with strawberries on top.
