I am having a currant fixation… love them in everything.\u00a0 They add a bit of sweetness, subtle and nice change of texture.\u00a0 Both these recipes have currants in them so enjoy… use them as substitutes for raisins. \u00a0My plan is to make this chicken salad recipe and have it for lunch a few days during the week.\u00a0 But the day I make it\u2026 it’s gone! \u00a0The Kale salad lasts another day but I’m not sure they (my family) have discovered how good it is yet.<\/p>\n
