LC's famous ginger cookies~and more soupy-chicken recipes~

[username]

Hi, it's me again & this time I'm looking for summer side dishes.

I love our local Trader Joe's. I don't know if they all do this but they keep recipes for stuff that they sample there. It's all good and easy.

The other day they had a dish out. It was basically cous-cous (cooked/chilled) combined with some golden raisins and slivered almonds and topped with a vinaigrette. Easy-peasy but yummy.

I needed an appetizer and they suggested these little crackers that had a dried fruit and almonds (I think) in them, a great brie (room temp) and then top the brie with mango chutney. Num, num. It was good!

Now I'm going to peruse this thread. I can't decide what to make for dinner tonight. I love chili but no, not in the heat.
