I have lots of favorite recipes.
Here is one....
Oriental Chicken Salad
Chicken breasts
1/2 bag of Salad
1/2 bag of shredded cabbage
1/2 package of won ton wrappers
2 packages of Chicken Top Ramen (save seasoning for the dressing)
1/2 cup almonds
green onions
mandarin oranges
sesame seeds
Dressing:
2 packages chicken top ramen seasoning
3 tablespoons white sugar
4 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
Add 1 T. hot water, and whisk dressing.
Then add 1 cup veg. oil
Cook chicken (season to liking), and cut into bite size pieces.
Heat oil in a sauce pan for won tons. You can fry the whole won ton and crumble when cool, or cut into strips with pizza cutter and fry.
Crush the ramen noodles while they are still in the bag. (I never use all the noodles.)
Mix everything in a big bowl. Pour dressing on individual salads.
he he okay since we are on a pasta roll ill stick with my crock pot sistas! Besides for those of us who hate to cook, how hard is it to put food on and let it sit while you do more meaningful things :)
Pulled pork sandwiches
{so easy its embarassing}
Pork tenderloin (my fave is costco $20 and it makes 3 meals for my fam of 5)
1 bottle of sweet baby rays bbq sauce
buns
celery
plain lays (thats how I roll)
Put pork tenderloin in crockpot for 6 hours on high, make sure to coat bottom of crock pot with water just a tad to prevent sticking and season pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
After 6 hours or so, shred pork with a fork, it should literally fall apart. Then coat with sweet baby rays bbq sauce. Turn to low and let simmer for approx 30 minutes or so. Serve on buns and have celery and ranch and yummy lays potato chips on the side :)
