Cabbage salad

Melani made one of my favorite salads last night (which I am currently eating for breakfast) so I thought I'd share the recipe. Before you turn up your nose at the cabbage part, you really should try it. If I see this salad at a potluck, I load up with it! It really is deeeee-wishous!

Ramen Noodle and Cabbage Salad

1/2 head cabbage, cut up 

2-3 green onions, sliced

1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Chicken (optional) *

1 package chicken ramen noodles, crushed

Dressing:

3 tablespoons vinegar

1/2 cup oil

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 tsp salt 

1 tablespoon sugar

The chicken flavor packet

Chop cabbage and add the rest of the salad ingredients. In a bowl combine all dressing ingredients and mix for a couple of minutes to spread all the flavors around evenly. Pour over the top of the salad and fold together. Enjoy! (It's better when it's been refrigerated a while) 

* I've never had it with chicken, but I bet it's good!

Moist (Danielle hates this word) Chocolate Muffins

This is the easiest thing in America and they taste delightful. All I want in life is for you all to make them and tell me what you think. 

Moist Chocolate Muffins-No Eggs or Oil

1 box cake mix (Devil's food or chocolate fudge)

1 small can pumpkin 

Chocolate Chips 

Line your cupcake tins with liners, spray with a little pan spray and fill the tins to the top of the tin liners...then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake as directed by your cake mixture, but found they needed an extra 5-10 minutes. Best served cold.

I got this recipe from one of my mission companion's sisters. There's pictures of these babies found here. 

Scrambled eggs the easy peasy way

So there I was, hungry. So I decided to make myself scrambled eggs for breakfast. But then all I could think about was the mess I was going to make and how many dishes I would have to clean. I then remembered the way my mother fixed me a scrambled egg sandwich as a just-before-bedtime snack all throughout high school. Bless her soul. She made it all in one dish in the microwave in less than three minutes. Just crack and egg or two, add a little milk and salt and pepper, pop it in the microwave for a minute or two and voila! You have delicious eggs with one dish to clean. It really is one if my favorite snacks. I took pictures of the process, mostly because I was bored. Enjoy! 

By the way, homemade grape jelly is soo good.... Don't worry, it was not homemade by me. Love you guys!!!!!!
