Fruit Fluff Parfait

By Priya Poehner


Priya served this at a recent coffee hour, and it was a big hit--the bowl was nearly licked clean! She found it  here via Pinterest, so thank you to the original poster. It is light and delicious, and could not be easier.

I know this one is going in my file for the holidays--simple and tasty!


Ingredients:

• 2- 6 oz. raspberry yogurts (or your favorite flavor)
• 1- package vanilla instant pudding mix (3.4 oz. powder)
• 16 oz. whipped topping (Cool Whip)
• about 16 oz. your favorite fruits (Priya used frozen mixed berries, which gave it a delicious, frosty flavor)

Mix yogurt and vanilla pudding powder well, then fold in the whipped topping. You can either fold the fruit in or serve it over the top of the fluff, or in layers in a trifle dish if you want to get really fancy. ;-)

Curried Chicken Salad

by Priya Poehner

This was served at the reception following their son's baptism, and the bowl was cleaned out! I went back for seconds, and would have gone for thirds if there had been any left. So easy to prepare, and so delicious--a perfect summer lunch!

According to Priya, "I can't give you amounts. I just put more in the bowl until it looks right." This uses a commercial dressing, but if you don't have access to it, you could probably find a similar dressing by googling "curried yogurt dressing".

• rotisserie chicken, boned and cut into bite-sized pieces
• red grapes, halved
• green onions, sliced
• sliced almonds
• Wegman's Curried Yogurt salad dressing 

Combine ingredients in bowl and dress with yogurt dressing. Mix well and refrigerate. Can serve as is or on some type of bread. Priya served with slider buns, and it was wonderful. Would also taste great wrapped in a tortilla or with naan, or even on simple sandwich bread.
