Quick and Easy Chicken Salad

This recipe is especially great as a snack on wheat crackers, or if you are me you eat it with a piece of fruit and a cold glass of milk and call it lunch! (Although a glass of apple juice is REALLY good too if you are not a milk-aholic like I am.) Nothin' fancy about this one, just mix and go!

12.5 oz can of chicken
1/2 C. of mayo (I use the one with olive oil for less fat)
2 Tbs sweet relish

Drain the chicken then place in a bowl and shred with a fork. Mix in the mayo and sweet relish and enjoy! The sweet relish is not as strong the next day, so according to your taste you may want to add more. Please refrigerate leftovers!

Tater Tot Casserole

We've tried several, and here is my favorite tater tot casserole. I got the recipe from my friend's blog and added the ground beef. Simple. Easy. Tasty.

INGREDIENTS:
1lb ground beef
1 (32-ounce) package frozen tater tots
1 (16-ounce) container sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (6-ounce) can french fried onions

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Cook, drain, and rinse the ground beef, set aside. Arrange tater tots in the prepared baking dish and spread ground beef over top. In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, cheese, and mushroom soup. Pour this mixture over the tater tots. Bake for 30-45 minutes. Sprinkle onions over the top of the casserole and bake for an additional 15 min.
