Hello Friends – I am traveling so I thought it would be fun to welcome a few of my favorite bloggers. Today I’m featuring my friend Carrie from the beautiful (and delicious!) blog, Bakeaholic Mama. Whenever I see her New England inspired recipes such as Slow Cooker Sam Adams Boston Baked Beans and New England Lobster Salad Roll I am instantly transported back to my Boston years. Without further ado, here’s Carrie!
Hi guys! My name is Carrie and I blog over at Bakeaholic Mama. I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids and 2 troublesome dogs. A former preschool teacher turned wannabe baker and blogger. Bakeaholic Mama specializes in baking and family friendly meals, a lot of not so healthy recipes… I have a fondness for buttercream, cheese, and butter. However, I can not eat like that every single day. I am a firm believer that if you lead an active lifestyle, eat a well balanced diet you can have a slice of cake from time to time!
Lunch time is my favorite meal of the day, I love salads and sandwiches and never get bored of either. I especially love chicken salads. I think I make a new version weekly. Lately my obsession is this Avocado Chicken Salad. It’s simple. Chicken, avocado, lime juice, and a bit of salt. To kick it up I dump half a bottle of sriracha on top. Sriracha makes it into 2/3 of my daily meals. I LOOOOVE the stuff. If you have never had it, it’s a Thia style chili sauce that can be found in most ethnic food isles. If you like a little heat added to your foods, check it out.

This looks so dang good! I met Carrie last year at MIXED–she is such a doll!!! Love her!
I’m so jealous – have not yet met her!!! But excited to meet you this weekend!!!
Oh wow! I need this salad! It has all my favorite flavors!!!
Yes you do need this salad!!
Such a stunner of a sandwich from Carrie! These look incredible! Thanks for sharing, ladies.
I am drooling myself!!
Big-big sriracha fans here and this recipe sound amazing Carrie!
Team Srirach!!
Carrie, this looks great! I’ve recently gotten into the flavor behind the heat of sriracha sauce, and I bet it really adds to this salad.
Liz, thanks for choosing a great guest!
Didn’t I pick a good one??
This chicken salad looks awesome!! Sriracha makes everything better!
I couldn’t agree more.
The bright red sriracha against the green salad looks beautiful!! Love the spicy kick!
I do too!! Can’t wait to make it myself.
Love this! I’m not usually a fan of chicken salad but this version would definitely work for me!
I go in waves with chicken salad but something tells me this version will be a regular craving.
All of my favorite things. Making chicken now, this is lunch tomorrow! Thank you!
I would like to know how people have prepared the chicken for this recipie. It looks and sounds awesome and heathly.
Great question Belinda!! I would certainly say that this is great for leftover grilled chicken breasts, poached chicken breasts, baked chicken breasts – you name it!
Firstly, these photos are incredible, and secondly, this chicken salad really looks very delicious. I really want to try this recipe but I have never seen a Sriracha hot chili in the supermarket nearest us. May I ask what good substitute for this? Thank you.
Well one option is to purchase it online – it really is that good. Alternatively, you can find it at Asian or international markets. If you can’t find it – any hot sauce will work!!
hiya buddy!
Thanks for your comment buddy!
