Waldorf Salad

Ingredients
1 tart apple, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tsp (or a little more) mayonnaise
raisins
1 Tbsp pineapple juice

Preparation
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Chill until ready to serve

This was the perfect amount for two adults. I served it with the Irresistible Honey-Curry Chicken and it added a great crunch to the meal.

Irresistible Honey-Curry Chicken

Found this one on the six o'clock scramble (www.thescramble.com). Easy to make and tasty.

Ingredients
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
1/4 cup orange juice
2 Tbsp lemon juice
3 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
6-8 pieces bone-in chicken thighs, remove skin
1 tsp cornstarch
1/3 cup cold water

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a small saucepan, melt the butter or margarine over medium heat. Once it's melted, add the next six ingredients (orange juice through salt) to the pot and whisk them together. Remove from the heat.

Place the chicken in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the chicken, reserving the unwashed saucepan for later. Bake it for 45-50 minutes, basting it occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through.

When the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and put it on a serving plate. Pour the sauce from the bottom of the baking pan back into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Whisk together the corn starch and cold water. Add to the pan. Stir until it thickens, about two minutes.

Serve with rice and Waldorf salad.
