Tzatziki Sauce

This is a delicious sauce that my family loves.  We have it with Naan bread.  My brother really likes this and eats it with a spoon.

Roast Chicken Salad

Me and my mom made this for dinner one night.  It was very delicious!  The original recipe called for fried chicken, but we used roast chicken (from a grocery store roast chicken).  We used this homemade Buttermilk Ranch dressing, that I blogged about before.
