Blurb: Dreams aren't awways worth the sacrifice.

   Lil Landis dreads a lifetime spent on the farm...instead she dreams of turning her flair for cooking into a sucessful career as head chef. There's only one problem. Her conservative Mennonite father would rather see her settle down as a wife and  mother. As Lil struggles against expectations in pursuit of her goals, her once clear plan becomes muddles with hardship-from her guilt over leaving her depressed mother alone for a restaurant job to worry over her family's failing farm. Then there's Fletch...

   Fletch Stauffer's good intentions toward an old friend backfire when his job providing veterinary service at the Landis farm becomes undercover work filming a documentary to expose animals cruelty, but as Fletch is drawn deeper into the deception, he finds himself falling for spunky Lil-and as odds with his dreams.

   Will determination cloud both Lil's and Fletch's thoughts until what matters most disappears? or will their misguided goals open paths to something new?

Deb's Chicken Salad

Hey, All! I wanted to find a new way to spice up my blog a bit this year. So, I decide to share a few of my favorite recipes with you from time to time. So, here's it is.

I've never really liked chicken salad, until I tried  one similar to this one in a little mom and pop's place a few years ago. I got the recipe from the waitress, changed a couple of things to make it my own, and it was a hit with my family!

Deb's Chicken Salad

4 to 5 chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
1/4 cup of toasted pecans (chopped)
1 large apple (diced)
15 to 20 seedless grapes (sliced)
1 tablespoon of Tarragon leaves
Salt to taste
Mayonnnaise - stir in to reach the desired creaminess

Enjoy!!
