Asian Chicken Salad

Hello friends,

This yummy salad recipe is perfect for a light summer night meal, a side dish at a bbq or family gathering & can easily be a delicious addition to any meal all throughout the year. It has always been a huge hit when I've brought it to a potluck and I almost always leave with an empty dish ;) My family loves when I make this and it is usually devoured, although on the rare occasion we have leftovers they don't last long. I'm sure your family will love this as much as mine & it will soon become one of their favorites :)

Asian Chicken salad recipe:

* 1 3oz package of ramen noodles

* 1 14oz package coleslaw blend

* 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken

* 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts

* 1/2 cup of craisins (I like using regular or cherry)

* 1/2 teaspoon of basil (optional)

* 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper (optional)

* Chopped green onions (optional)

Add all ingredients to a large bowl (break ramen noodles into loose pieces) and mix well.

Dressing:

* 1/2 Cup Sugar

* 3/4 Cup Soy Sauce

* 2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds

* 1/4 teaspoon all spice

* 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

* 1/2 cup olive oil or vegetable oil

* 3 Tablespoons sesame seed oil

Mix all ingredients for dressing (except oils) in a glass jar & shake vigorously for 2 minutes. Add in oils and shake another 3 minutes. Drizzle dressing over salad and mix well.

Cover and refrigerate at least an hour before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight dish for up to 3 days.

Enjoy!

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas: This yummy recipe for chicken enchiladas is sure to be a crowd pleaser and be a hit even with picky eaters! It is super easy and adaptable, you can whip it up in a snap while catering to your families health needs/preferences and individual tastes :) What I love most is that I can prep multiple dishes all at once, one for tonight and one for later in the week or to pop in the freezer for a night I am short on time and but want to provide a homecooked meal for my family (double bonus🙌). First start with gathering all your ingredients: -Tortillas: Either store bought or homemade ( I love to use flat out brand, 5 grain fold it tortilla's (healthier version) or Mission whole wheat or flour tortillas (my kiddos prefer these as they are a bit softer and less chewy texture). -Meat: Chicken (or any other meat could be substituted. *I also love to use ground elk or organic grass fed ground beef, both are equally delicious) -Rice: Basmati...

The journey that brought me to homeschooling: part II

Hi friends, Today I thought I'd share about our journey to homeschooling with you. I've had a few inquiries on my Instagram account about what got me into homeschooling lately and I'd love to take you on the journey with me while I reminisce :) So lets go back to the beginning, a little over 9 years ago my kiddos and I were living a completely different life. We were barely hanging on by a thread and just trying to survive another day. That's life, living with an abusive alcoholic and meth addict. I am so grateful and beyond thankful to say that my kiddos and I are survivors of domestic violence/abuse and that we are here, thriving and living an incredible life. One that God has brought so much restoration and healing to, we are safe, happy, healthy and loving the life we are privileged to be living. If you or anyone you know happens to be in a horrible situation, living with a violent partner I encourage you to seek help when it's safe for you/them to do so and t...

Duel Enrollment programs, what are they and how do they work

Hello friends, One of the questions I've received most often over the past year is what is duel enrollment and how does it work. Ever since we decided our daughter would participate in the program we have had many questions from family and friends. Mainly out of intrigue and interest, but I’m sure some curiosity about what the program is and how it works ;) As most of our friends and family know, our daughter began her first year as a duel enrolled student at the beginning of this school year. She is both a junior in high school & enrolled as a freshmen at our local community college. The program she is enrolled in allows her to simultaneously earn both her high school credits and a years worth of college credits while she completes prerequisites at the community college. Depending on your child's interests and level of commitment to the program it is possible for a student that is enrolled to graduate high school & receive an AA degree at the same time. ...
