Peanut Coleslaw

Taken from: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/peanutty-coleslaw


This is an excellent alternative to cole slaw!


In a bowl mix:
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup chopped green onion
3 TBSP white vinegar
1 TBSP sesame oil
1 tsp grated ginger (or, I use 2 tsp sliced ginger that you buy in a jar... not pickled)
1 tsp wasabi powder (or 2 tsp wasabi paste)
2 TBSP mayo (add more if you like a creamy coleslaw)
salt & pepper

Then mix in a bag of cole slaw mix... when you're ready to serve, throw some peanuts on top.

It is pictured here in the top portion-- it's the stuff that looks like cole slaw ;-)


Peach-Basil Salsa on Grilled Chicken

Here's a good end of summer dish. We're having this in our meal that we're taking to blossom tonight (pictured) in the container that's packed and ready to go!

This is really simple- and is delicious. I've put it on top of tuna salad, salmon, and chicken. It is also delicious topped with some blue cheese crumbles. Just sayin.



In a bowl mix:

  • 2 large tomatoes, cut in chunks
  • 2 peaches, cut in chunks
  • 1/2 packet of splenda (or you can use the equivalent sugar)
  • 2 tsp molasses 
  • 1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup of fresh sliced basil 
  • salt/ pepper

Store in the fridge. Delicious on meat, salads, or by itself!
