European Vacation

Bill and I are having the time of our lives. We have visited Rome, Naples (Italy), Athens, Mykenos, and Rhodes (Greece). Tomorrow we experience Ephesus (Turkey). I have so many great pictures and memories to share, but will post them when I get home as computer time onboard is too limited.

Stuffed Cream Puffs

This is one of my favorite recipes - I make it all the time for luncheons:

Chicken Almond Cream Puffs

1 C water
1 stick butter (1/2 C)
1 C flour
4 eggs
1/4 C shredded swiss cheese

Melt butter in water; bring to boil. Stir in flour all at once until mixture becomes a ball that doesn't separate; remove from heat. Cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each until mixture again becoms a ball that doesn't separate. Stir in cheese. Drop by heaping teaspoons on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes in 400 degree oven. Remove and put on racks to cool.

Stuffing

2 chicken breasts, cooked, cooled, and finely chopped
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
6-10 green olives, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
1/4 C slivered almonds
Mayo (start with 1/2 C)
Half and Half if needed to thin mixture

Combine all ingredients. Slice cream puffs in half, stuff with desired amount of filling. Refrigerate. Serve with fruit and chips.
