You can even change the ingredients.<\/h2>\n<p>I know because this past week my best friend, Marcy Howard, and I hosted a Breast Cancer Survivor&#8217;s Luncheon. \u00a0We served Yellow Squash Bisque, it will be on the blog soon, <a title=\"Cissy\u2019s Chicken Salad\" href=\"http:\/\/tidbitsofjoy.com\/?p=8670\">Chicken Salad<\/a>, croissant rolls and an amazing dessert that we purchased. \u00a0We served the chicken salad on a bed of mixed greens surrounded by grape tomatoes, sliced hearts of palms, sliced cucumbers and freshly shaved Parmesan cheese. \u00a0When I thought about the salad dressing I wanted something a little sweet but also with a citrus flavor. \u00a0I remembered a Lemon Vinaigrette recipe that we use for Apples of Gold so I started with that. \u00a0I added and changed several ingredients but left the oil to vinegar ratio the same. \u00a0Changing the ratio could cause your\u00a0dressing to be too oily or too tart. \u00a0I just kept adding ingredients till I got the flavor I liked. Now my taste is probably different from yours you might like it sweeter or maybe not. \u00a0Starting with a basic recipe and changing it to your taste makes cooking personal and fun.<\/p>\n<p>The luncheon was such an uplifting time. \u00a0Marcy had set her table with a beautiful fall theme. \u00a0I love fall colors don&#8217;t you? The women at the luncheon were so inspiring with their testimonies and the stories of their journey with breast cancer. \u00a0We all know someone who has battled this devastating disease. \u00a0Yet at the same time there are so many survivors helping the next one to make it through. They extend hope and peace to each other. \u00a0I have not had breast cancer but I was with Marcy every step of the way through her treatment so I am a co-survivor. \u00a0I know there are many of you who are\u00a0doing the same. \u00a0Each woman there said they had to depend on God for their strength and that they felt His presence in every\u00a0decision and treatment they went through. \u00a0They were so thankful for the support of their families, friends and fellow Christian brothers and sisters. \u00a0Now they are giving back by mentoring other women just starting the journey, they are going back to radiation centers and talking and praying with patients, one young woman is starting a blog to encourage young women to be aware that breast cancer is not just for women over 50. \u00a0She was 31 when diagnosed and feels her age group needs a voice and she is seeking God&#8217;s direction on how she can be that voice. \u00a0I could go on and on how they are using such a hard thing in their life to be such a source of joy now as they help others who are\u00a0put in their path. \u00a0I pray that God\u00a0through man will provide the cure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy Thursday &#8211;<\/strong>&#8211; Try the Honey Lemon\/Lime Vinaigrette on your next salad and feel free to change it up. It will be <strong>&#8220;The Best You Ever Made&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PS: \u00a0I am so glad to be back blogging. \u00a0This year I changed jobs after 27 years at one Dental Office to help a young dentist start a new practice and that has been a big project but I love a project. \u00a0Bill and I built a new home and moved the middle of September another great big project so Tidbits of Joy got put on the back burner. \u00a0 \u00a0I can&#8217;t wait to share pictures of our new kitchen and blog some yummy fall recipes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Thursday Tidbit: \u00a0You\u00a0don&#8217;t have to follow a recipe exactly.
