Valentine's Day

YAY! I finally had someone to cook for on Valentine's Day! While it wasn't all homemade, it was still quite delicious and fun! The menu consisted of swiss cheese fondue (that my mom had sent me), a chicken salad, brownies with vanilla ice cream and raspberries, and pomegranate martinis! Here's the recipe for the chicken salad:

Bunch of red-leaf lettuce
1/2 chopped fugi apple
1/2 chopped avocado
1/4 tsp. chopped red onion

salt and pepper
lavash crackers

  2. You can usually find them in the "ethnic" section of grocery stores, like near Mediterranean food. They're just like flat bread crackers.
