Some fun.....

My mother at the age of 4 this is such a cute picture I love it!

Grand Babies who I love sooo much

Lets see where to begin as I sit here this late Friday night. I have a dear friend who is having a give away at the Prairie Flower Farm Blog... I love this sweet friend Linda . She mentioned what I put in a basket dinner and this is something I thought about and the more I thought about it it reminds me of my family talking about Basket Socials.... gotta love the memories they shared about this!

Dad who will be in his late sixty's this June and I recall a time when he would tell me the stories of them at the end of the school year --this was country schools- they would have a basket social they would make a special basket with a meal in it and they would auction it off hoping it would be something really good. One time they did it and said it was from his sister who raised him and it was a "cow pie" and wild onions!!! Those two little boys my dad and his nephew were in lots of trouble but it is still talk of those two never to talk a basket of food from them!

I wanted to share a couple of recipes that I would put in a basket dinner!!!

Chicken Salad

1 chicken breast cooked and chopped

1/4 C grapes

1/4 C walnuts

1/4 C sour cream

1 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp chives

Combine all ingredients except for the chicken, Add chicken just before serving. Serve on croissants.

Ramen Noodle and Broccoli slaw salad

1 16 oz broccoli slaw pkg

package of chicken ramen noodles

a broccoli floweretts

1 bunch of green onions

1/2 sugar

1/4 C vegetable oil

1/3 cider vinegar

/2 to 1 c sunflowers

In large bowl combine slaw, broccoli floweretts, onions. Cook noodle til tender and cut up. Set aside. In another bowl whisk together the sugar,oil the ramen noodle season packet. Pour over salad mixture and toss the noodles lightly in also . Just before serving put in the sunflowers. I also like to put olives in this recipe as well.
