Everyday Food for Busy People
This is a guest post from Micha at Cookin’ Mimi. Welcome, Micha!
In my family this is known as Mama’s slaw. I saw a similar coleslaw
recipe on a Food Network show and decided to tweak it to our
tastes. The mix of the crunchy cabbage, creamy dressing, and
slightly spicy jalapeno has been a favorite for about seven years. [Read more...]
It’s What’s for Dinner Wednesdays. I was asked, along with a few other bloggers, to participate in a recipe challenge hosted by Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner. The recipe for this week is East Meets West Burgers. I altered the recipe just a bit, using tortillas instead of buns.

I found this on Smitten Kitchen one day and it caught my eye because she said it only took 10 minutes to make. I think if I wasn’t taking pictures of everything as I made them, it would have been about 10 minutes.
The most fun you can have with a cheap package of ramen noodles! I don’t really know why it’s called Hawaiin, but we’ll go with it.
I didn’t get a picture of the ingredients, but here’s what you’ll need:
1 bag of coleslaw mix
small bunch green onions
1/3 jar (8-12oz size) toasted sunflower seeds (like Planter’s brand)
small package of sliced or slivered almonds
package of chicken flavored ramen noodles
For the dressing:
1/2 cup oil
2-3 Tbs. sugar
salt and pepper
seasoning packet from the ramen
Break the noodles into a 9″ pan and add the almonds. Toast at 350 degrees to brown them. Stir every little bit. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Mix up the dressing and stir everything together. Enjoy!
