Savory Treats

So, baking is where my heart is but I love to cook all kinds of things. This page is where I share other delicious things that don't involve baking. Enjoy!!!


Chipotle Lime Chicken Salad
I made this with all the "extra" ingredients I had from making my Chicken Tortilla Soup. I used grilled chicken breast because that's what I had on hand but it'll be delicious with any kind of chicken (even a rotisserie chicken from the market). It made a great sandwich!
