Mango Chicken Salad

by the Acosta Alonso family

1 head of lettuce, shredded
2 ripe mangos
2 chicken breasts, shredded
Vinegar
Blue cheese salad dressing

Soak the shredded lettuce in a light vinaigrette (vinegar, salt and pepper). Cut the mangos in slices or chunks, and mix them with the chicken. Add them to a large salad bowl, and add the lettuce. You can add the blue cheese and mix everything, or allow each guest to add their own dressing. You can substitute the blue cheese dressing for mayonnaise.

Pecan crumbly cookies

by Yolanda Alonso
Slightly different than the Peanut ones...

300g flour
200g butter
150g chopped pecans
75g sugar

Cream the butter, add the sugar and pecans, finally add the flour. Make small balls and press them in the middle. Bake at 150°C and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.

Yeah, I forgot to write down how long they need to be baked... It's probably the same time as the Peanut ones, 15 to 20 minutes. Sorry -_-;

Crumbly Peanut Cookies

by Yolanda Alonso
(Makes a truckload)

1kg flour
1/2kg shortening
1/2kg sugar (2 cups)
1 jar peanut butter

Preheat oven to 150°C. Mix everything and form small (about the size of a ping-pong ball, maybe a little bit smaller) balls of dough, cover them in sugar and press with your thumb to shape them. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Make sure you take them off the cookie sheet as soon as they're out of the oven, or you'll have nothing but crumbs!
