Perfect Picnics into Fall
|
|
Right about this time every year, I often wonder where summer has gone. In Colorado, as in many other parts of the country, we're fortunate that Labor Day weekend is really just the start of our "summer 2.0," as September still gives us plenty of time to enjoy delicious salads and picnics. Another timeless recipe out of my mom's recipe box that never disappoints is her Curried Chicken Pasta Salad. It's one of our favorites to take to outdoor concerts at the Denver Botanic Gardens, I recommend making the dressing at least 2 hours ahead of time to allow the flavors to blend.

Ingredients:
- 1/4 to 1/2 pound small pasta shells (can also use macaroni)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons slivered almonds
- 1/3 cup mango chutney
- 1 tablespoon curry powder (or more to taste)
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken (I recommend using a pre-roasted chicken from King Soopers)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup (heaping) chopped green apple

Behind the Scenes:
A Well Seasoned Kitchen Remodel Continues
|
We've spent a lot of the summer traveling in our Airstream, as the lack of a home kitchen has been challenging for this home gourmet. But things are on track for an early fall completion date! Materials have been chosen and finalized, and lots of great things are taking shape. Follow me on my blog and social media, and in my next newsletter, we'll have more to report on the progress we're making with our kitchen remodel...and my Southern California Road Show this coming October. Because it makes perfect sense to load up the Airstream and travel through Southern California doing demos and book signings just as our kitchen is ready to use, don't you think?
Follow me for more info on our remodel - on my blog, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram - #wskremodel

Join me in the kitchen at venues around town and around the country this summer and fall. Keep an eye on the website for details.
