Attack Game in Session: What Will I Make for Lunch?

The sounds of friends fill our home. Today, another game of Attack is in session. Like Risk and Monopoly, all players will be here all day and perhaps night! :) What will I make for lunch? Well, how about Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Potato and Egg Salad and My Favorite Brownies. Here are the recipes:


My Mother’s Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I have fond memories of helping my mother make these sandwiches. This is probably my favorite party sandwich. When growing up, my Mom would make this for every party. She’d fill small, soft rolls with the Chicken Salad and sprinkle Paprika over the tops. I often helped her make these sandwiches.

In a large pan, bring to a boil:

4 boneless chicken breasts
1 onion, quartered
4 celery stalks

Boil until chicken is cooked through approximately 10-15 minutes. allow chicken to cool.

Use a food processor or cut by hand. My mom cuts her chicken up very fine, making these sandwiches delicious! I use my food processor.

Add enough mayonnaise to make chicken salad consistency. Add salt and pepper, garlic power and onion powder. I like to add about 1/4 c. of sweet relish.

Mix well. Fill rolls just before serving. Refrigerate left overs, if you have any! :)


Potato Egg Salad

8 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
8 eggs
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 c. or more of mayonnaise
Garlic Powder, to taste
Onion Powder, to taste
Salt and Pepper, to taste
4 tbsp. white vinegar
1 to 2 tbsp. yellow mustard
Handful of fresh parsley, chopped or 1 T. dried parsley

Boil potatoes until just tender. In a small saucepan, cover eggs with water; bring to a boil and immediately turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Let sit for at least 5 minutes. Remove cover and run cold water over eggs for a minute. LET COOL IN WATER.

Peel eggs, chop and add all ingredients together. Refrigerate and allow flavors to marry. Serve cold or room temperature.

My Best Brownies

Grease an 8-inch baking pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. You can also double the recipe for a 9x13-inch pan.
½ c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
½ c. all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. baking powder
Melt butter in microwave. Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla.

Tip: Temper eggs by adding a little at time until mixture comes up to temperature. You don’t want to make scrambled eggs! 

Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour into greased pan and bake in a 350* degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Do not overcook. Check by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with just a few crumbs, but not wet, its done!
