Asian Chicken Salad
We just finished enjoying this tasty salad which lends itself to many variations with on-hand ingredients. I finished off leftover 1/2 rotisserie chicken with a combo of all the greens in my fridge. Added mushrooms, an orange, chopped green onions, radishes and grated carrot. Also took the advice of others and cracked open a pkg of ramen noodles (raw) for the crunch, along with toasted almonds AND sesame seeds. The dressing adds the flavorful oriental essence that makes this a truly special "chicken salad".

Beef and Irish Stout Stew
Irish eyes were surely smiling last night after devouring this tasty stew at a family gathering. I took the reccomendation of a prvious poster (luv2eat)and used my crockpot after following all the directions for browning, deglazing, etc. A bit more work, but the flavors are truly more developed by this method. I needed to add very little extra broth and after 4 hrs. on high the meat was as tender as could be. I then added the carrots and continued cooking on low for another 2 hrs. Served over smashed garlic potatoes it was everything I had hoped for. Good thing I doubled the recipe!

Penne with Garlicky Broccolini
I have recently fallen in love with broccolini and look for recipes where I can include this healthy vegetable easily. This recipes is a perfect example. I followed directions exactly, but on the suggestion of others, added 1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes. This resulted in a touch of color, taste, and more nutrition. We loved this dish and will add it to our favorites. Thank You!
