We really enjoy seasonal foods here at the cottage and the strawberries have been beautiful this year. I wanted to put together a salad for a pot luck, this is a delicious salad that I ended up with. We have really been enjoying the recipe it was so simple to put together. I keep cooked chicken in 3 cup measures in my freezer for salad's, casseroles and other recipes. We have the pasta, chicken, fresh Strawberries, Spinach and other greens, plus an amazing Strawberry Balsamic Dressing. This is a delicious salad!

Balsamic Pears & Chicken on the table tonight, thanks to my friend who brought me a large basket of beautiful pears. I love pear season and all the wonderful recipes that I use pears in. The balsamic pears are a wonderful pairing for the chicken and it makes a delicious and very flavorful sauce for the chicken. This is a very simple recipe with a few herbs and some cranberries to enhance the flavors. This is a perfect recipe for pear season and will make a very special entre for any occasion.
