Some news and a recipe...


I have been cheating on my blog with another blog. I have started a new blog with friend called forwardmom.blogspot.com Come check it out and see what's going on over there. I will still do some recipes and write when I can on here...this is for dinner one day this week....

Oriental (Chicken) Salad

1 One lb bag of cole slaw (salad section of store)
2 pkgs Ramen Oriental Flavored Noodle Soup (blue bag)
4 oz sunflower seeds
4 oz slivered almond
2-3 scallions chopped
½ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup sugar
1 cup olive oil (or vegetable/canola oil is OK too)

In LARGE bowl toss together cole slaw, sunflower seeds, almonds, scallions and the noodles from the soup packages; crumbled.

In another bowl whisk together the vinegar, oil, sugar and the 2 seasoning packets from the soup packages. Pour over cole slaw mixture and mix well.

To make it Oriental Chicken Salad:
Brown chicken cutlets in pan (about 6 cutlets more or less depending on what you want)with a small amount of oil. When lightly browned pour teriyaki sauce over and simmer until done. Let sit in fridge while you prepare the rest of the salad. Before you pour over the vinegar mixture cut up chicken pieces and toss. Chill before serving.

** Been making this since 1998. It’s really good and everyone loves it. I sometimes buy frozen eggrolls and serve with the salad for dinner.
