Chinese coleslaw

Sorry its been awhile I have had a lot going on I just got over strep throat so that was fun lol. Anyways this isn't a new recipe but its so yummy and I wanted to share. We LOVE cabbage in our house and this is a super easy and yummy!!

Chinese Coleslaw 
1-2 heads of cabbage 
1 bunch green onions 
2 cups cooked chicken(diced) 
3 pkgs oriental ramen 

Crunch up noodles spread evenly on a baking sheet, bake at 350 for 15 mins stirring every 5(I only cook mine for about 10). While the noddles are toasting and the chicken is cooking cut up your cabbage and green onions and combine in a large bowl. Mix your dressing and put in the fridge until ready to use. When the noodles and chicken are done and have cooled add them to the cabbage and mix in the dressing and enjoy!! 

Dressing 
1 cup veggie oil 
1/4 cup sugar 
3 TBS soy sauce 
1 tsp pepper 
2 tsp vinegar
3 pkg oriental seasoning(from the ramen)
Combine all ingredients mix well.  

My toasted ramen. 
While my noodles where toasting I mixed up my dressing...

Copycat Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken

I seen this recipe on Pinterest and thought it look really yummy and it was! They say it is a copycat recipe of Outback Steakhouse's Alice Springs Chicken I have never had it so I cant compare the two (I have only been to Outback twice in my 24 years, I know sad). I did change it a bit from the recipe I found but it turned out really good. 
Chicken with just the seasoning.
The yummy sauce!
All ready for the oven.
All done
Enjoy!!! 

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness Lowry's Seasoning Salt
6 bacon slices
1/4 cup regular mustard
1/3 cup honey
2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes(I didnt use them because I didnt have any)
1 cup sliced fresh mushroom (I omitted because my family does not like mushrooms)
2 cup shredded Colby/Jack cheese(I just used cheddar cheese)

First, Sprinkle and rub the chicken breasts with seasoning salt.  Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While the chicken is in the refrigerator, cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp.  Remove bacon and set aside.  ***Do not discard grease.***
Saute chicken in the bacon grease for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned.  Place chicken in a 9" × 13" casserole dish or pan.
To make the Honey Mustard:  In a small bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise and dried onion flakes.  
Spread some of the Honey Mustard over each piece of chicken, then layer with mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
Bake in a 350° oven for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken is done.
Serve with the left over Honey Mustard Sauce that you made.

Popsicle stick Stars




So this post is a crafting one, even though its super easy! I made these stars for my daughter Lyla's room her middle name is star so she loves stars. I also made snowflakes back before Christmas these are super easy and really cute! I just started out with good old popsicle sticks, I got mine from the dollar store so I got 150 for $1, and I had some red paint at the house and red is Lyla's favorite color so it worked out perfect! I just painted a bunch of sticks and let them dry and cut 5 in half to make a small star and then I just hot glued them in to stars, super easy! 
Let the fun begin! 
All painted and ready to put together.
One of the big stars.
One of the small ones.
