I had a fantastic Mother's Day. How could I not have one with fantastic children I have. I also have fantastic mothers! We had lots of food and invited the family to drop in for a bite. Here are some of the recipes that were requested.
Lemon Fruit Dip
2 c. reduced fat sour cream (Oops! I used a carton of regular)
1 pkg. sugar free instant vanilla pudding (Oops again! I used regular)
1/4 c. fat free milk (1% for us)
4 tsp lemon juice (I just squeezed the whole lemon)
1 tsp. grated lemon peel (Was I supposed to measure?)
It was fantastic. I loved it with the melons.
Oriental Salad
Originally from my bestest friend-Lesley. I made a change on purpose and accidentally left out something.
1 pkg coleslaw (I should have doubled this)
8 tsp. sesame seeds toasted (I just poured them in the pan)
1 c. almonds toasted (I used cashews and added a little more)
4 green onions sliced
1 pkg. Ramen noodles, crushed no seasoning packet (This is what I accidentally forgot)
Dressing:
3 T. Rice vinegar
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. sugar
Some of our other menu items:
8 pound barbecued roast
Skewered chicken
Potato Salad
That Shrimp Salad
Layered Rainbow Jello
Acini Salad
Deviled Eggs
And lots of yummy desserts
The best thing of all were the guests. Delicious!
