No Time To Cook? Go to Aldi & Pick Up Cranberry Almond Chicken Salad
Eric's Strawberry Shooters
Dorketos a safe alternative to Doritos
- 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
- 1 Tbl. fresh lime juice
- ½ tsp taco seasoning
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cover large baking sheet in baking parchment.
- In a small bowl toss cheese with taco seasoning and lime juice.
- Make small mounds of cheese using a tablespoon on baking sheet keeping them about 2" apart. (Mounds will spread as they bake and crisp.)
- Bake 10-12 minutes, till Dorketos are golden brown - brown. Do not under cook or they won't be crunchy.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool and 'crisp up'. Slide chips onto a paper towel to absorb the grease on the bottom.
- Serve when completely cool.

Jan's Napa Salad - Award Winning!
Chop and put in a large bowl to chill :
1 or 2 Heads of Napa Lettuce – torn into bite-size pieces
8 green onions sliced – including the green tops
1 package of dried cranberries (optional)
In a saucepan:
Melt butter and saute the Ramen noodles and sesame seeds over medium low heat until they are lightly browned. Set aside and cool.
1 stick butter
2 tsp sesame seeds
2 packages of Ramen Noodles (do NOT use seasoning, just the noodles)
1 small package of sliced almonds
Dressing: Mix in a shaker container or jar. Shake and pour over chilled salad immediately before serving . Most likely you will not need all of this for 1 head of cabbage . What seems like a lot will shrink down considerably . This salad does not keep well so plan to eat it all when you serve it or just add the dressing to individual servings.
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
½ cup rice vinegar
4 tsp soy sauce
For 6 people or less – I only use 1 head of napa cabbage. I often add left over chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken if I’m making this a main meal and serve with crusty bread.
When my sons were little I doubled the topping.
