http://www.wowogallery.com/5c5nlccg9bt When I think of “church lady” I always think of Dana Carvey when he played Church Lady on SNL. He was histerical. There are so many recipes out there that I have labeled “church lady” or “church potluck” and they are wonderful and are always the recipes that people want to know who brought it and how can they get the recipe.

https://equinlab.com/2024/01/18/mvgqq59swz Can we every have too many salad recipes? I love salads whether the are leafy green salads, marinated vegetable salads, egg salad, tuna salad, layered salad and I don’t think you could go wrong with about any salad you would set before me.

https://www.justoffbase.co.uk/uncategorized/i443gi1bz6o I really wanted to try a different version of the favorite recipe that’s been around for years and while searching I came upon recipe after recipe that had the cream of chicken or mushroom soup added to the dish and either topped with the potato chip topping or crushed corn flakes.

Then I stumbled on this recipe from Your Lighterside.com and thought I would give it a try for my bunco group. Those poor ladies suffer through a lot of my experiments and I was hoping to get comments on what other things I might add to this salad. I did tweak the recipe a bit and added the pancetta instead of bacon (feel free to use the bacon in place of pancetta), I added the toasted almonds, some celery and substituted the Italian blend cheese for the mozzarella cheese. I can’t tell you how tempted I was to add a can of soup to the mixture but I fought the temptation and went with the recipe as it was.

Unless they were just being nice, the bunco ladies liked it and had no suggestions for changes or additions.
