Grandma's Chicken Salad

2 cups diced, cooked chicken
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup diced celery
1 cup seedless grapes
2 hard cooked eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup slivered almonds

Sprinkle chicken with lemon juice and salt. Chill for several hours. Combine chicken with remaining ingredients and serve.

* This has been a family favorite for as long as I can possibly remember. I hate most any recipe that calls for hard cooked eggs but this one is delicious! This recipe is used as more of a base in our family. If we use canned chicken, we use less salt than the recipe calls for. We often use more grapes, more eggs, and ore more nuts than it calls for as well. We just do whatever suits our fancy! Serve on salad greens or as a sandwich filling inside croissants or rolls. Every time I make or eat this salad, it reminds me of my amazing and sweet Grandma.

The BEST German Chocolate Cake

1 yellow cake mix
1 instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups milk
2 eggs

Mix and bake at 350* for 35 minutes.

Frosting:
6 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon evaporated milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts

Cook for 5-10 minutes over medium heat. Pour over cake.

* This is the BEST German chocolate cake I have had and the easiest to make! I got this recipe from an old friend's brother who was a culinary chef. It's always best to double the frosting recipe so that it spreads more evenly across the cake. I love it cold out of the fridge. Enjoy!
