 Did February seem like the longest month of the year? I know that everyone is looking forward to warmth, sunshine and green stuff...but we have a few more weeks until spring will be here (date wise) but at least 2 months before we start to get those lovely warmer days.
Why not head into visit us to see what's new????

Yummy "Healthified" Crunchy Asian Salad This receipe is from the Betty Crocker Simple Healthy Meals Magazine. It is such a tasty yummy salad that you may not get the 15 servings. We've also made it with broccoli slaw and we also added a can of sliced water chestnuts! YUMMY!
Makes 15 Servings (2/3 cup)
Dressing:
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3 tbl sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Salad:
1 Package (3oz) rament noodle soup mix (any flavor)
1 bag (16 oz) coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage & carrots)
8 med green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup sliced almonds (2oz)
1 medium red bell pepper cut into thin strips
2 seedless oranges, peeled & coarsely chopped (1 & 1/2 cups)
2 cups coarsely chopped fresh baby spinach leaves.
1. In a large bowl, beat dressing ingredients with wire whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is well blended.
2. Break up ramen noodles in bag before opening. Discard seasoning packet from soup package. Add noodles and all remainng salad ingredients except oranges and spinach to dressing; toss to mix well. Stir in oranges and spinach. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 8 hours.
Note: Pat and I didn't mix entire salad with the dressing. We used a portion of the dressing and tossed it with the salad--let it sit for about 5 minutes--so that the spinach stayed nice and fresh. |

Did you know...... Did you know that March is National Craft Month.....National Nutrition Month (a great way to kick off the month with the receipe above)......March 14 is Check Your Batteries Day (as well as Pat's Birthday).....March 20 is National Quilting Day......March 17 is St Patrick's Day......and March 25 is Pecan Day. So this means that you should be crafting this month while wearing green and eating pecans. |
