Hi Paual, Iemjoy your recipes and have for so many years but this new format you have I DO NOT LIKE! I get one recipe and when I want to go back and get another the three pohtos on the botton HAVE GHANGED amd the original three aren't there and I cann't get the original ones back up to obtain the recipes I originally wanted. Can this PLEASE be changed back so the recipes can be gotten. The three changes sometimes aren't even related to the recipe thats wanted. Thank you for correcting this problem. Yours respectfully, Phyllis Smith Fayetteville Ga.

Dear Paula, I am writing to tell you that I did not see the amounts of flour, butter, salt and moisture (I presume milk) in those delicious biscuits shown in the pictures of how to make them. No list of ingredients that is. I know they must be wonderful, but I need exact amounts. My grandmother made delicious biscuits - - - I remember them still....she called them "caterpillar biscuits" because they made the "butterfly". She had lots of cute things to say about cooking. If you would please send me the ingredient amounts it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and I really enjoy your show on television. Sincerely, Marilyn Larney

Hi Paula, Thanks for all the variations for chicken salad. I've not seen one quite like I make, but use the basic start with mayo and sour cream, celery and cubed grilled chicken breast. I add chopped pecans as the nut ingredient and it gives the salad a nice nutty taste, more than the almonds. We use fresh, never been frozen chicken breasts from "The Hen House" here in Lenexa (Kansas City Area on Kansas side). We will grill 16 halves over apple woodchips that gives the chicken a nice golden look. Cool them and package in sandwich ziploc bags and then put those bags into a large freezer bag and freeze for indiviual use later. Just thaw one of those in the micro to make the chicken salad.
