Ingredients:
1 large apple
16 bamboo skewers (6-8 inch)
1 to 1.5 cups finely chopped peanuts or pecans, toasted, or candy sprinkles
Half of a 10 ounce package of peanut butter or butterscotch morsels
1 tablespoon water
Candy-coated chocolates or mini chocolate chips (optional)
Directions:
*Cut apple in half from stem to bottom and core.
*Cut into 16 slices about 1/4 to 1/2 at thickest part and pat dry. (This is a very important step in order to allow melted morsels to adhere)
*Pierce a bamboo skewer through one end of each apple slice to resemble a lollipop.
*Set aside on paper towels.
*Place the nuts in a thin layer over a sheet of foil or waxed paper.
*Place morsels and water in a medium saucepan.
*Heat over medium-low heat until melted, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
*Reduce heat to low.
*Pat apples dry again.
*Working with 1 at a time, hold the apple slice over the pan.
*Using a spoon or heat-safe rubber spatula, drizzle the peanut butter mixture back and forth over both sides of each apple slice then coat with nuts, if desired, pressing down to allow nuts to adhere.
*Set down on waxed or parchment paper.
*Repeat with remaining apple slices.
*Rest on paper until time of serving.
*Serve by placing the skewers (apple slices up) in decorative coffee mugs or pierce small holes in a small pumpkin or squash to use as a base.
TIP: To give a face to the apple slice, press candy-coated chocolates or mini chips on apple slices for eyes, nose and mouth, if desired.

Wedding Chicken Salad
Ingredients:
Before other ingredients:
*Bake 3 whole chicken breast (I typically use the bone in, with the skin on then remove skin after cooking) for 1 1/2 hours at 350 degrees .
*Season with a little Lawrys season salt before baking. (You can also use a rotisserie chicken or cook a whole chicken in the crock pot...but you will want a BIG chicken. The ones from the chicken man on base are too small...so you would want 2 of them!!!)
*Shred chicken into bite size pieces.
Combine chicken with the following ingredients:
1 1/2 cups celery chopped finely
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup mayo (I use light Hellmans)
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons of dry sherry (I just eyeball it and probably use about double)
2 tsp chopped onion (I use alot more....about a half and onion)
1/2 tsp lawrys season salt
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind ( I use the rind of an entire lemon)
Extra ingredients:
30 oz can Chinese noodles
1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional)
Directions:
*Combine chicken with its ingredients, mix well, and put in greased 9x13 pan
*Top with 30z can of chinese noodles and 1/4 cup slivered almonds (you can omit almost if desired) right before baking. Otherwise they get soggy)
*Bake at 350* for 30 minutes
*Serve in a lettuce cup or alone with a side of pasta salad, rice or fruit
Note: If you have leftovers, remove the chinese noodles from the top. Good served cold also!!!
