This recipe comes from my sister-in-law, Jeanene. She made it for the family during our week out at the beach. It feeds alot of people, tastes even better the next day, and keeps in the fridge for awhile.
1 pkg broccoli slaw (I usually use 2 pkgs)
1 pkg slivered almonds, toasted
1 cup sunflower seeds
2 bunches of green onions, chopped
2 pkgs Ramen chicken mushroom noodles, broken into pieces
Dressing:
3/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup red wine vinegar 2 pkgs seasoning from chicken mushroom noodles
Combine all ingredients for the dressing, blending well. Combine all ingredients except the Ramen noodles for the salad. Pour the dressing over the salad, add the Ramen noodles and blend.
You can even mix the salad and dressing ahead of time, adding the Ramen noodles just before serving.

summer is for salads
Ladies (and gentleman?)....
I am very excited about this blog, for one thing food is important and secondly staying involved with one another is important and what better way than sharing what is going on in the kitchen. I have not been doing much cooking lately, for the past month I have been in archeology field school on a ranch with a cook, it has been a lot like summer camp with alcohol, however this weekend Caleb and I attended a pot luck birthday party and took this dish along.
Greek Bowtie Pasta Salad
**This dish is so easy, throw in whatever is rotting in your fridge. Perfect for summer because it is cold and lite!!
Ingredients:
-Fresh Parsley (you could use dried too, I assume)
-Minced Garlic (5ish cloves)
-olive oil
-roasted red peppers ( you can buy these in jars, however I prefer to halve red bell peppers, clean them out, put a little olive oil, salt and pepper on those bad boys and stick them in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes- so good!!)
-calamata olives (1/4 cup)
-feta cheese
-bowtie pasta (16 oz)
All you gots to do is sautee the garlic and parsley in olive oil, prepare the peppers, boil the pasta, combine everything, salt and pepper it, add a little more oil if necessary, refrigerate for a bit and serve.
Please share what you have been making and I am always looking for good drink ideas. I was recently served a whiskey sour that had been frozen to slushy consistency, so good, until Caleb accidentally knocked it all over me!! I think it was just whiskey and sweet and sour sauce, not completely sure, but I recommend!!
