Come On Over for a Recipe Party!!!!!

In an effort to help me get back into planning out our dinner meals each week and help inspire me in the kitchen I am going host a recipe party. Not only will this help me in the kitchen but I am hoping it helps all of you. 


I feel like we are having the same old meals every week.  I love trying out new recipes, especially when they are easy and don't require a million ingredients, but feel free to share whatever you would like.  


You can post anything from desserts to side dishes to casseroles. Since we are heading into the heart of summer it would be awesome to see some new ideas for summer salads.


I am sure most of you have posted a recipe on your blog, so this will be easy. Just leave a comment with the link to your recipe post and in a few days I will put together a post with all the recipe links and hopefully it will be a great resource we can all use. And if you haven't posted a recipe on your blog before you can just leave your recipe as a comment.
If you have any great cooking tips or know of some great food blogs, I would love to hear those as well. Anything to help us all get inspired in the kitchen!
Hope this makes sense, I haven't tried doing anything like this before so I hope it will all work out;)

Cabbage Salad and My New Favorite Wine

OK.....here is another super easy and super yummy salad. I love sharing recipes because I know I LOVE to try out new and easy recipes myself. I am always stealing recipes from a good friend of mine because I know when they come from her they will be easy peasy. 

Cabbage Salad
1 head of cabbage
6 green onions
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (get the ones that are already roasted and you can add more or less if you want)
1/2 cup or so of sliced almonds (more or less if you want)
1 package of Top Ramon

Dressing
1cup canola oil
6 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons sugar
{Mix all together and keep separate until ready to serve}

Chop cabbage and green onions.
Brown almonds and sesame seeds in 2 tablespoons on oil.
Break up the ramon noodles and put all together right before serving.
I usually cook chicken with this salad. I like to chop it up and add to the salad. This is also a great salad for parties and pot lucks, remember to wait and add the dressing just before serving or it will become soggy.

Since your trying out a new salad why not try out a new wine. This is my new favorite wine at the moment. I think I only have like one glass left out of this bottle and probably will be finishing it off tonight;)
