Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad

Here is a favorite of mine-

The recipe came from a recipe book called "Top Secret Recipes".
I have been working on perfecting the recipe now for a few years,
and I think I finally got it right.
For all of you Applebee's fans,

ENJOY!!


For Salad- Mix:

3 C. Romaine Lettuce torn into bite-size pieces
½ Head of Nappa Cabbage
1 Carrot –shredded
1 Green Onion –sliced thin (optional)

Top Greens with:

2 Breaded Chicken Breasts (cooked and sliced)
Sliced Almonds
Chinese Noodles

For Dressing, Mix:

4 T. Mayo
3 T. Honey
1 T. White Vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
¼ tsp. Sesame Oil

Valentine's Day Dinner

We figured that half of the fun of Valentine's is how fun the kids think it is. We decided that we would have a fun dinner with them...you know, candlelight, fancy dishes and a tablecloth.
It was lots of fun.

Successful

I have one child that is constantly making us laugh with the things she says... Here is Olivia trying to say the word "Successful".

Do I have something on my face?

So, we have discovered one of Logan's great loves....
Chocolate.


(If you can't tell, that is a chocolate hand-print on the side of his face....)

St. George Trip

Here are a few pictures from our trip to St. George this weekend. What fun we had in the sun!


The St. George Temple.


Miniature golfing with the kids. Logan tries his hand.. :)


Ally our professional golfer. She did really well for a first time golfer.


Olivia gave up after about 10 holes....she was tired...and hungry...


This is how she played the last 8 holes. :)

Kids say the cutest things.

So, we spent a lovely weekend in St. George this weekend. It was warm and sunny and wonderful. When we got there, Ally says, "Mom! They have Hula Trees!" (aka palm trees) :) I didn't correct her, because I thought it was so cute.

Olivia says to me the other day, "Mom, I really like this shirt with high sleeves, not long sleeves."
