Welcome to our Recipe Swap!

If anyone would like to join this blog as a contributor, just let me know and I will add you as an author. The only thing we ask is that you share your recipes with us! We may start monthly themes later on down the line, if more people show an interest, but at this point, please feel free to post any recipe you like, whenever you like.

~If you have a photo of the dish, please post it along with the recipe, since it is always nicer to see a picture. Please post it at the medium size so we can keep all the pictures the same size.

~And please tag the recipes into one of the categories listed. As you decide on which category to put them in, think of how you would search for it in a cookbook. As administrator, I may occasionally go through the recipes and categories and edit them for easier searching as things go along, so don't feel offended if I change some things around.


~If you try a recipe, feel free to comment on the recipe and let us know what you thought!


~Finally, please write a little something about yourself. I will post everyones profile here, so that we can get to know those we may not be familiar with.

Thank you to those who have already jumped in and added recipes. I am excited to see what everyone is cooking!

Chicken Wonton Salad

Salad Ingredients:
½ package of small wontons
3 cups chopped chicken
1 whole head romaine lettuce chopped
1/2 bag of sliced almonds
2 small cans mandarin oranges

Dressing Ingredients:
¼ c. water
¼ c. oil
¼ c. vinegar
¼ c. sugar

Directions:
Place almonds on cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake in over until browned (I usually cook them at 450 degrees for about 5 minutes). Mix almonds with all other salad ingredients, except for wontons. Fry wontons in frying pan with olive oil/vegetable oil until slightly brown and crisp. Let wontons cool. Mix salad dressing ingredients and pour into salad until desired moisture. Crunch cooled wontons into salad and mix again. Serve.

* It is important that the wontons go in last so that they will stay as crisp as possible.
**This makes probably enough for 4 people.
