Quick & Simple Cashew Chicken
I dont know about you and yours, but in our house we love us some Chinese food. I stumbled across this recipe for Spicy Cashew Chicken on MommaChelle and tweaked it to fit my lazyness and our tastes. It is now a regular in our rotation of go-to dinner ideas. We tend to cook a lot of rice all at once, so we can easily pull it for the next meal to help save time. So this meal is easily on the table in 15 minutes. This recipe was already a great recipe, but I found that I could cut out some of the ingredients and steps and make it that…

Crispy Tater Wedges In The Oven

Coleslaw Made Right
I like coleslaw but I am pretty picky about what kinds I like. My favorite kind of coleslaw is like what KFC has. Its sweet and crunchy, but not overly vinegary. This is coleslaw made right! I found this recipe on AllRecipes.com that I adapted to achieve the kind of slaw that I wanted. I dont ever have buttermilk on hand nor do I want to buy it just for one recipe. And you can achieve the same thing by mixing milk with lemon juice. 16 oz package of Coleslaw mix 1/3 C white sugar 1/4 C Milk 2/3 C Mayonaise 1 1/2 Tbsp White Vinegar 2 1/2 Tbsp Lemon…
