No more cooking!

Well, no more cooking for me until the A/C is fixed! I'll let you know when I get back to it.

Oh, and I noticed in the pictures below the pan looks dirty... it is not, it's just burnt! Honest, I only cook in clean dishes!!! LOL

I did make a yummy salad the other day though. You've probably had it before. My boys won't it eat. It's one of mine and hubby's favorite summer salads though. It's easy, inexepensive and tasty! Plus it's easy to make it a complete meal by tossing in some cubed grilled chicken. I think it'd even be good with pineapple tidbits in it too if you are adding the chicken.


Oriental Cole Slaw

1 pack of cole slaw mix
1 pack of ramen noodles (any flavor you like)
1 extra seasoning packet from ramen noodles
1 cup shredded carrots
5 green onions chopped
sunflower seeds
1/3 c. sugar (preferably white but it tastes okay w/ brown too if that's all you've got)
1/3 c. rice vinegar (or red wine vinegar)*
1/2 c. corn oil

Toss cole slaw mix, ramen noodles (broken), carrots, and green onions. Whisk together 2 ramen noodle seasoning packets, sugar, vinegar, and oil. Pour over salad and toss with sunflower seeds half an hour before serving.

*Rice vinegar can usually be found in the asian section of your local grocer.

I can't say I have ever had this salad, but we all know I would be the only one as mi casa who would even touch it. So you'll have to just make it for me.

By the way, you and the boys can come over anytime, everyday if you want, to play in our A/C. :) Love ya'll
