But I was so in the "stuffed" mood that I also made tomatoes stuffed with curry chicken salad for my book club the next day. (It's very weird.. I really don't think of myself as a "club" type of person but I actually had two of these very girly-club things planned for the same weekend.) Anyway, my book club was cancelled last-minute, so I am LIVING in stuffed tomatoes and chicken salad. That's okay with me. I am crazy for these things. They fill you up in such a good way. I feel satisfied but not "stuffed" (there I go again) after having one:
It's really easy. I'm not a measure-it-out type of chef, but here are the ingredients if you're up for it:
For the chicken salad:
- A pre-cooked rotisserie chicken--> dice the chicken into small pieces
-Approx 1/4- 1/2 a red onion
-fresh crushed garlic clove (or 2!)
- a few celery stalks, finely chopped (how "cookbook-like" do I sound?)
- a teensy squirt of lemon juice
-salt & pepper
-Sour cream & mayo --> add both of these in until you like the consistency
-Curry powder--> add to taste but I usually keep adding it until it's a pretty shade of yellow
-walnuts and/or anything else you like to add to your chicken salads
-Stir it all up and add more whatever until it looks & tastes good to you
Then carve out the tomatoes like you would a little pumpkin & fill them up with the chicken salad. Top with scallions and add a few lettuce leaves on the side. It's also yummy served with fresh steamed basmati rice on the side.
If you're in the mood, I promise you, this food will make you so happy. I can't WAIT for lunchtime already. mmm mmm mm!

That sounds so delicious! You're making me hungry for lunchtime now. :)
Is it lunch yet? That stuffed tomato sounds delicious!
Holy crap your timing is perfect, Lauren!
I was looking for good chicken salad recipes and I LOVE curry chicken salad. = winning.
I love the idea of a food/cooking club. We have a dinner club but this sounds more fun and interesting. All I wanted was chicken salad when I was pregnant for about the firts half of my pregnancy. YUM!!
This looks yuuummm.... and healthy too. I'm also the type of person who would squeal I'm So Expired! hahaha I love it
There must've been something in the air this weekend. I made stuffed tomatoes too - except roasted with provolone, breadcrumbs, and fresh herbs. Yay stuffed foods!
Whew! I read your initial explanation that you don't eat expired food, and was like, uh, isn't that basically normal? Ha.
So funny...glad it really wasn't expired! I wanted to tell you that I tried the lemon chicken soup and it was delish! My friend and her two little girls were over for the day and was just getting ready to leave when I started getting things ready for the soup. She ended up helping me and her family stayed for a yummy impromptu dinner. Thanks!
looks like a great recipe! I love "stuffed" anything, for some reason they're ALWAYS delicious!
goodness, that looks YUM amazing.
I have been meaning and meaning to stop by and congratulate you on your fabric line! It is stunning!!!!
Love the stuffed tomato idea. Also, I am jealous that you have 2 girly clubs! I want to be in one :)
