Chicken Salad

This has to be one of my very favorite dishes! And it's not the usual Chicken Salad you're used to seeing. This one is BETTER! The possibilities are endless with this salad! So Yummy!!!!




Ingredients:
-4 Chicken Breasts
-1 Large package of shell or macaroni noodles
-1 cup purple grapes
-1 package slivered almonds
-1 diced red apple (with peel)
-Green Onions (finely chopped)
-1 small can pineapple tidbits
-1 can mandarin oranges
-1 cup mayonaise
-1 jar coleslaw dressing

Directions:
Boil & dice chicken. (tonight I used canned and it turned out great!) Mix all ingredients, except oranges. Add them last and gently toss them in. Chill. Tonight I added some craisins that I needed to use up, and they were great. I thought about adding peas, maybe next time. I usually don't like mixtures like this, but this one I LOVE. My little guy loves it, and my husband has yet to try it when he comes home from work, but I'm sure he'll like it. I just served it with rolls. This is a must try!

GoOd EaTiN'!--In LeSs ThAn 15!

I just made THE BEST pork chop dinner! It was quick, easy and super tasty! Mmm...Mmm!!!

Here's what I used

2 Bone-In Pork Chops
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup flour
Seasoning Salt
Lemon Pepper
Paprika
Salt & Pepper

1 bag steam fresh peas

1 package Pasta Sides (chicken flavor)

Here's what I did
Mix milk and egg in one bowl
Mix bread crumbs, flour & seasonings in another bowl
Dip chops in egg and milk
Then roll chops in Seasoning mixture
Grill the chops on the George Foreman! (for about 10-15 minutes)

Mean while the pasta side takes 8 minutes to cook
And the peas only take 4-5 minutes to steam in the microwave!

The chops were very tasty and very juicy! The chicken flavored noodles complimented the chops well and I love the steam fresh veggies! I don't like canned peas, but I LOVE the steam fresh ones!
