Giveaway Winner & a Chicken Dinner

Okay, it's my chicken salad recipe this week, not dinner, but I liked the rhyme. It's worth mentioning it's a great chicken salad I used at my son's wedding, and I make it every few weeks for lunch or dinner thinking of you. Now for our giveaway winner:

Congrats to entry #12, JackieW, who according to Random. org has
won the Amazon $25 gift card.

Thank you to all who visited and commented. I appreciate those of you who always enter early, and I'm considering an early bird prize from now on. That seems fair to me! Your comments were fun to read as I learned the majority of us have enjoyed summer chilling out with our families and reading. A few vacations were mentioned, and I'm jealous. It's not my year this year, but that's okay. I've had enough road trips to last awhile.

Do enjoy my fruity fun chicken salad this weekend, and make it super healthy by using yogurt instead of mayo. It's really good that way, I promise!
