Yum...another successful Pinterest recipe! It's Asian Slaw with Ginger-Peanut Dressing, and it is not only colorful, it's delicious too!I knew I wanted to try to make this recipe, as well a sweet and spicy Bourbon Street Chicken recipe I also pinned on Pinterest, so I made sure I got all the necessary ingredients on our big grocery shopping adventure Saturday night.
Tomorrow is Mom's birthday. I've been drawing a real blank on both what to do to celebrate her special day, and what to get her in the way of a gift. She declined a day trip to Spokane, and even declined going out to dinner tonight. I decided to try one more offer...an offer of dinner at our house, trying out my Pinterest recipes...and she accepted. Because we are off work today celebrating President's Day, it seemed like a good day to spend a few hours in the kitchen rather than after a long day at work.
I have to say, both new recipes had somewhat lengthy ingredient lists (for me anyway), but both were really easy to put together. And both turned out to be quite delicious. I will definitely make them again...and would highly recommend trying them.
The three of us ended up having a really nice dinner, with the Bourbon Street Chicken over steamed rice, some stir-fry style veggies, and the Asian Slaw. But, the really delicious part was the traditional birthday Mud Pie for dessert!!
Happy Birthday Mom! I hope you enjoyed today...and tomorrow is even better!!
