My Thanksgiving Cornucopia
About this Cook
I am a single mom. I work full time and don't have the kind of time I use to, to cook. But I spend a lot of the weekend coming up with things to try. My childrens grandparents practically live at my house then. I love nothing more than to cook for a crowd.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook anything. I really love trying new recipes. Depends on my mood what is my favorite...I guess if its for a group that I am cooking for, I am happy.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Huge Thanksgiving blow out meal, and a small intimate Christmas dinner.

Ramen Coleslaw
I totally love this recipe and could eat it by the bowlfuls. I use a large bag of prepared tricolor slaw mix and two packages of ramen. It doubles the recipe, but I triple the dressing with the exception of only using 2 of the flavor packets. I use half olive oil and half sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. I also add a couple tablespoons of soy sauce and some ground ginger. With the soy sauce and flavor packets, you can omit the salt. This goes great with an Asian meal, or for bbq's and potlucks. I've never had any leftovers. Much lighter than mayo based slaw and has wonderful texture

Szechwan Shrimp
Very yummy recipe. I tripled the recipe and added chili paste instead of the crushed chili's and it definitely left your mouth tingly, but was perfect. Even my kids chowed down on this. I also added chunks of red and yellow bell pepper, a sweet onion and water chestnuts because they have a great texture. I added some fresh ginger in with the garlic and a splash of sesame oil. I served over jasmine rice. It was perfect and really fast. I even ate leftovers for breakfast. Nothing like nice spicy food in the morning to wake you up. I definitely recommend this recipe, its so versatile and you make it to suit your tastes.

Meatball Stew
Very yummy and easy. Good comfort food to come home at the end of the day and smell cooking in the crock pot
