Chow Mein Chicken Salad.

Good Tuesday morning everyone! I can't believe this is the last week in February. I also can't believe it is going to be March. I am so glad to be leaving the frigid winter behind. Summer sounds so good these days....I can't wait to be swimming in a pool soon. More like a couple months. How I love summer!

I know I have been posting lots of chicken recipes lately and this recipe here so far, tops the others. This was literally gone in 30 minutes. I barely got any, but the bit I got was delicious. Everyone kept saying make this again, please! Without a doubt I will. I love the chow mein noodles in this salad along with the chicken. The dressing is pure yumminess.

Chow Mein Chicken Salad

Ingredients:
4 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup chow mein noodles
2/3 cup cubed cooked chicken breast
2 green onions, chopped
4 teaspoons sliced almonds, toasted
4 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
VINAIGRETTE:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4-1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions: In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, chow mein noodles, chicken, onions, almonds and sesame seeds. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the vinaigrette ingredients; shake well. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.

Most guys love dogs. Really love them. But, my brother Steven is different. He has never been a huge dog lover. He'd pet them and be friendly with them but he wasn't thrilled about dogs. He'd prefer to be doing outdoor activites. Until Lewis came along. He loves Lewis, we all do....but Steven loves him the most. Lew is always given lots of attention by him. I don't give Lew that much attention because I am usually aggrivated with him (seriously, he is so much work!). Still, we all adore this dog, like none other that we've had....but Steven and Lewis have a special bonding. And even though Lew is mine but likes Steven more, I don't mind. I love seeing how much my brother adores my dog.

Enjoy your Tuesday and I'll see you with an amazing giveaway next!

A Tangy Tuna Sandwich & The Candy Winner.

Good Thursday morning everyone! Almost the weekend...yeah. We had been having balmy 40 degree weather but the past few days have been back to the freezing cold weather. Saturday it is supposed to be 50 degrees, I can hardly wait. I am glad to know that the majority days of those frigid temperatures are behind us once January passed.

Okay, onto the candy winner. I enjoyed reading each of your favorites...a lot of you guys like Skor bars and believe it or not I have never heard of those. So, am now on the look-out for them to try them. There are so many different kinds of good candies that is seriously sometimes hard to pick one (I also love Snickers).

I'm sure you guys have heard me mention my friend Joss....Jocelyn is my friend that I have known for the longest time and we have much in common...my little sister says we agree too much on everything (not sure if that is possible). Anyway, Joss had to write a commercial for her speech class, and I wanted to share it with my readers - I love it.
