Broccoli Salad

This is a favorite salad of ours - hope you enjoy it too! I usually double or triple the recipe if we want leftovers or if I'm bringing it to a dinner. Usually I do less raisins and sunflower seeds than the recipe calls for as it tends to be too "raisiny" for us.

Salad:
4 cups broccoli & cauliflower
1 cup raisins
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup red onion
1/4 cup of bacon bits

Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp vinegar
3-4 tbsp sugar

Ginger Chicken

Like Rena's recipe below, this another GREAT recipe for the slow cooker. I find this is the meal I go to when I don't know what else to make - its one of those recipes where you more than likely have ALL the ingredients for this one kicking around in your pantry and fridge. I got this meal idea from my Mother in law. :)

3 Chicken breasts

2 cans of tomato soup

1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper

2 tsp of powdered ginger OR 1 tbl fresh grated ginger

salt and pepper to taste

Assemble all this in your slow cooker and turn it to high for 3 hours or low for 4-5 hours.

We serve this over a bed of rice, and I usually like serving this with green peas. :) ENJOY!!
